ENTOMOLOGY OF GRANADA AND NEIGHBOUEHOOD. 

 By the Rev. F. A. Walkee, D.D., F.E.S. 



My chief places of resort at Granada, in the pursuit of Ento- 

 mology, were the beds of dry water-courses situate between the 

 Alhambra Hill and the Campo Santo. The steep craggy banks 

 by which these water-courses were hemmed in, to a height of 

 twelve or fifteen feet, rendered the locality warm, sheltered, and 

 therefore suitable for the purpose. I likewise visited the olive 

 groves left and right of the said channels for the winter floods 

 from the Sierra Nevada, those to the left consisting of steep 

 slopes, while those to the right were situate on much more level 

 ground. The undergrowth of these olive groves consisted of a 

 varied and luxuriant flora of borage, echium, field poppy, corn 

 marigold, wild camomile, a deep pink convolvulus, &c. These 

 species were by far the most abundant, and in addition may be 

 enumerated the less frequent but also plentiful occurrence of 

 variously coloured vetches, two species of mignonette, star of 

 Bethlehem, wild coreopsis and antirrhinum, with many more. 



Following the road from the Alhambra Hill to the cemetery, 

 Xylocopa violacea, the commonest species of all the Hymenoptera 

 there, with the exception, as a matter of course, of Apis mellijica, 

 might be noticed humming noisily round the blossoms of the 

 white acacia trees, which were just in perfection during the first 

 fortnight of May, a period of glorious weather. The rose and 

 purple acacias on the Alhambra terrace were likewise affected by 

 this bee, but these varieties are far less common than their white 

 congener. As regards VespidsB, our own Vespa germanica was 



* Mr, South has taken all the four species of Calynmia on one night.
