There must be a great many more species to be recorded from this district as 

 time may prove ; seldom a season passes without my adding something to the list ; 

 and I have the disadvantage of working entirely alone. — C. G. Hall, Dover :

Stenamma Westwoodi, ^-c, at Maidstone. — At the end of August or the begin- 

 ning of September, 1887, I took two females of this rare ant. They were at rest on 

 the inside of a half-opened window. I did not know at the time what they were ; 

 but I have since sent one of them to Mr. E. Saunders, who has kindly identified it 

 for me. I have been unable to meet with it since. On July 2nd of the following 

 summer my friend, Mr. W. H. Bennett, took Crabro gonager $ near Allington 

 Locks, on new o.ak palings; and on September Ifith, I took Mimesa Shuckardi $ 

 on a sandy bank near Penenden Heath. Both species occurred singly. — G. E. 

 Fkisby, 6, Church Street, Maidstone : February lUh, 1890.
