198 EEPOETS. 



Moulin Huet Bay during August of this year, I sent 

 specimens to Mr. A. C. Imms, of the Zoological Laboratory, 

 University of Birmingham, who informed me that they 

 were Clunio bicolor, Kieff, a species which he had just added 

 to the British list, and described in a paper published in 

 the Transactions of the Liverpool Biological Society, Vol. 

 XVII. (1903). Mr. Imms's specimens were taken at Port 

 Erin, Isle of Man, during August, 1902. Among my 

 specimens were one or two individuals which appeared 

 somewhat different from the rest, but not having been 

 preserved in spirit, were too much shrivelled to make out 

 the details. Of these Mr. Imms says : " The tarsi are bright 

 yellow — if this is not due to coagulation of blood in these 

 parts (or some unusual process), but is the natural colour, 

 the insects belong to a species new to Britain, and most likely 

 to science.'' 



Three additions have been made to the Alderney list. 

 The pretty little Dragon-fly, Ischnura elegans, was taken 

 by Mr. E. D. Marquand at Rose Farm pond ; it also occurs 

 with us at the Grand Mare, Vazon. Musca tpmpistiva is a 

 species of Diptera not included in the British list, and 

 Agrotis exclamationis is a nice addition to the Alderney 

 Noctuce. 



During June Mr. Edward Saunders, F.R.S., again 

 visited Jersey and captured nineteen species of Aculeate- 

 Hymenoptera, additional to those recorded by him last year. 

 He gives an interesting account of these captures, with 

 comparisons between the Jersey, Guernsey and Alderney 

 species, in the Entomologist's Monthly Magazine for 

 October. 



The best capture was that of a fine species of Ammophila 

 (Sand Wasp), new to science, which he has done me the honour 

 of describing under the name of A. Luffii. Mr. Saunders 

 concludes his paper by stating that "the number of species 

 now recorded for Jersey amounts to 165, against 104 from 

 Guernsey, and 90 from Alderney ; of these 53 are common 

 to all three islands ; 75 are recorded from Jersey only, 21 

 from Guernsey only, and 14 from Alderney only ; 22 occur in 

 Jersey and Guernsey and not in Alderney, 16 in Jersey and 

 Alderney but not in Guernsey, and 7 in Guernsey and 

 Alderney but not in Jersey." 



Lists of the Ichnenmonido? and Coccidce of Guernsey have 

 been read and will be published in the present number of 

 the Transactions.
