The following were recorded by the observers, and for the localities stated. — 



Sickmann (Osnabriick), the fossorial wasp Mellinus arvensis Z. Verhoeff 

 (Norderney), 2 hover-flies (Melithreptus menthastri Z. 5, and Syrphus ribesii Z. 5). 

 von Dalla Torre (Innsbruck Botanic Garden), the bee Halictus leucozonius Schr. j. 

 MacLeod (Flanders), 3 humble-bees, 2 sp. of Halictus, 6 hover-flies, and 3 Lepidoptera 

 (Bot. Jaarb. Dodonaea, Ghent, v, 1893, p. 429). Scott-Elliot (Dumfriesshire), 2 

 humble-bees, numerous bees and flies ('Flora of Dumfriesshire,' p. 102). 



1612. L. hastilis L. (Kirchner, 'Flora v. Stuttgart,' p. 735.) — Kirchner 

 states that the heads of this species contain from 40 to over 80 florets, and 

 spread out in the forenoon in sunny weather into a golden-yellow disk of 20-25 mm; 

 broad. The corolla-tube is 4-6 mm. and the ligule 8-12 mm. long. The anther- 

 cylinder projects 3-4 mm. from the corolla-tube, and the style extends 4-5 mm. 

 further. The stylar branches are 2 mm. long, and finally roll back to form a spiral 

 of 1 1 turns. Warnstorf describes the pollen-grains as pure yellow in colour, 

 polyhedral, and spinose. measuring about 375 y. in diameter.
