 other parts of the country it is of extremely rare occurrence. The 

 species is very widely distributed on the Continent of Europe, ranging 

 north as far as Finland, and it also occurs in Siberia.

[Neoclytus caprea, Say. ISf. erythroeephala, Fab. Mr. P. B. Mason 

 records ('97 Mn.) the capture in a Burton-on-Trent timber yard of 

 these north American longhorns. The ash-tree in which they were 

 found was said to have been felled at Carrick-on-Suir. In a recent 

 letter Mr. Mason says " aU efforts to trace the place where the tree 

 was felled failed owing to the dealer who sold it having left. There 

 seemed no doubt that the tree was Irish, but it had been for some 

 time in a wood yard in Liverpool." Mr. C. W. Buckle has an example 

 of IT. erythrocejphala obtained in a Belfast timber yard, October, 

 1901.]
