of Vicia septum growing in low damp hedgerows near Worthing, 

 Sussex. (" Ent. Mo. Mag." xxiii. iii.) 



Hymenoptera : — 



In the Ichneumonidce we have several additions, among them : — 



Meteorus luridus, Ruthe., obtained by Mr. Bignell. 



Bassus bizonarius, Gr., taken at Peckham, and 



Echthrus la?icifer, Gr., from Walmer, both by Mr. Billups. Our 

 indefatigable member also contributes two new Braconidse, namely, 

 Chelonus carbonator, Math., taken at Bookham, and C. speculator, 

 Math., from Benfleet, Essex; and ("Ent. Mo. Mag." xxii. 228) Dr. 

 Capron describes two others, Bracon Westmceli, Wesm., and Ascogaster 

 canifrons, Wesm., which, though taken previously, are only now 

 identified. 



Diptera : — 



Mr. G. H. Verrall describes one hundred new species 

 ("Ent. Mo. Mag." xxii. 179), and Mr. Peter Inchbald, two, 

 namely, Cecidomyia muricatce, Meade ("Entom." xix. 152), and 

 C. clausilia, Bouche (" Entom." xix, 223). 



In this order we must not omit to mention the recently determined 

 corn-pest Cecidomyia destructor, Say, which has caused some con- 

 sternation among our agriculturists, and for particulars of which I 

 cannot do better than refer you to Miss E. A. Ormerod's concise 

 little pamphlet, published by Simpkin, Marshall & Co., at the 

 moderate price of 6d. 



Neuroptera : — 



For the only addition in this order we are indebted to Mr. 

 R. M'Lachlan, who describes Kolbia quisquilarwn, Bertkau, 

 a genus and species new to Britain, taken in the New Forest 

 ("Ent. Mo. Mag." xxiii. 38). 



From the foregoing it will be seen that the year has been 

 by no means deficient in novelties, and among the rarer 

 Lepidoptera and occasional visitors in that order, several in- 

 teresting notes have been from time to time made. 



A single specimen of Papilio mdchaon, L., is recorded as 

 having been taken between Heme Bay and Whitstable, Kent, 

 by Mr. Martin Jacoby, and is perhaps worthy of mention on 

 account of the unusual locality for the species.
