ACULEATA. 



Vespa vulgaris, L. Being on the top of Hedgehope, September 

 16, I observed a very large female wasp seeking for its 

 hiding-place among the stones that form the cairn at the apex, 

 which is probably the barrow of some old British chieftain. 

 It is singular that it should select the most bleak position in 

 Northumberland for a hybernaculum. There is no danger of 

 mice devouring it there, and its sleep would be profound and 

 lasting ; and perhaps these are advantages even to a wasp, 



Bombtjs senilis, Fab. In the meadow below Old Middleton 

 Wood ; a very fine example. 



HEMIPTEKA HETEROPTERA. 



Acanthosoma pictum, JVewm. Another example was found in 

 June on the same birch that furnished one last year at Yeaver-
