THE INSECTS OF ALDERNEY. 



Hemiptera " " that its right to a place in the British list 

 depends on a very few specimens taken years ago." 



The rare and beautiful Therapha hyoscyami is much 

 commoner in Alderney than in Guernsey. 



The Orthoptera and Neuroptera do not appear to be 

 numerous in species. Several immature specimens of the 

 great green grasshopper were captured near the pond on 

 Longy Common. 



Blatta orientalis, the common cockroach, has found its way 

 to Alderney, two being taken in the house by Mr. Marquand. 



In the previous list it was remarked that no dragon flies 

 had been captured, but one had been seen by the Rev. F. A. 

 Walker. 



Mr. Marquand saw about half-a-dozen and succeeded in 

 capturing a specimen, which turns out to be Sympetrum fons- 

 colombii, one of the rarest British species.
