Notes on Insects at the Lighthouses. 



Under date of June 30th, Mr. Owen Boyle, of the Languard 

 l.h., reports, " a Sky Lark followed by a string of Bees. The 

 plaintive cries of this poor bird first attracted my attention, it 

 flew so close that I almost caught it ; it was closely pursued by 

 a large number of Bees, and in its fright took to the 

 water followed by its pursuers. When last seen it was 

 making for the Essex coast." July 31st, at 10.14 a.m., " a 

 cloud of mosquitoes pitched in this neighbourhood, similar to 

 those seen in India ; most of them were carried off at noon 

 by a light breeze." 



Mr. Charles Williams, of the Hanois l.h., Guernsey, says, 

 under date of July 10th, " A great quantity of large ants with 

 wings passing. A great many settled on the rocks and about 

 the lighthouse. I have only once seen them before like this, 

 when I was stationed at the South Bishop Kock off the coast of 

 Wales."
