From the above table it will be seeu that we have in oui- dis- 

 trict little more than one-thu'd of the recorded British species. 

 Five families and one subfamily are totally wanting to it. In 

 several other families, more especially those contixining the Sand 

 and Wood Wasps, and Solitai-y Bees, we are very poor indeed.
