Mr. Jas. Eardley Mason and the Rev. A. Thornley, M.A., F.L.S., 
represented the Entomological section, and got on the Kirton Marsh 
y 9 a.m., in a fog that gave promise of a fine day, and was not 
falsified in the result. The locality will repay a.much more careful 
and prolonged investigation.. The Hemiptera-Heteroptera met with 
were not remarkable, but one would have expected more Sa 
A better search would probably reveal other species. The list is:— 
Miris calcaratus Fall. Nabis major Costa. 
Megalocerzea erratica L. Abundant. Nabis ferus L. 
Megalocerzea longicornis Fall. Nabis rugosus L. 
Megalocerzea ruficornis Fall. : Salda littoralis L. 
Abundant. Salda pallipes Fab. 
Lygus pratensis Fab.

connection we publish a list of about two hundred species ot
