The Irish Naturalist, 
February, 
My collecting here was done mostly in my own fields, 
also on the roadside between my house and Poyntzpass 
which I denote by "hill," and in the wood near here, known 
as Acton Wood, which I found to be an excellent collecting 
ground. At Coolmore I took many of my best captures 
among sallows which grow in profusion in the roadside 
hedges, an especially good locality was a grassy lane off 
the old Ballyshannon road. As on former occasions um- 
belliferous flowers and thistles proved always attractive to 
these insects. 
I have once more to thank Mr. Claude Morley, F.E.S., the 
talented author of " British Ichneumons," for most kind 
help with many critical species, as well as much encourage- 
ment. 
ICHNEUMONINAE. 
Cratichneumon liostylus Th. — Coolmore, among sallows on the roadside. 
C dissimilis Gr. — Coolmore, among sallows on the roadside. Neither 
this nor the preceding are common species. 
C. fugitivus, Gr. — Coolmore, among herbage and sallows. 
Melanichneumon sanguinator Rossi. — Poyntzpass, in field, in August. 
Barichneumon gemellus Gr. — Poyntzpass, hill, in June. I had named 
this specimen as above, but not having a type, thought it better to 
send it to Mr. Morley for confirmation. He is much pleased at having 
a specimen to fit the description of this species. His record of 
Melanichneumon monostagon Gr. from Kenmare in Ent. Mo. Mag., 
1902, p. 54, is to be altered to this species. 
B. ridibundus Gr. — Coolmore, among sallows ; by no means common. 
B. albieinctus Gr. — Coolmore, among sallows. 
Ichneumon sarcitorius L. — Poyntzpass, hill, in August, at flowers oi 
Angelica. Among these was a female with the head entirely black. 
I. latrator Fab. — Coolmore, at Umbelliferae, a remarkable variety of this 
common species with the scutellum white, a form which Mr. Morley 
informs me he has never before seen. This specimen is a female, 
in which sex the scutellum is said to be always black, though in the 
male it is very rarely flavous-marked. 
I. bucculentus Wesm. — Coolmore, at UmbeUiferae. 
I. suspiciosus Wesm. — Poyntzpass, in August, at Angelica ; Coolmore, 
in porch of the bungalow. 
I. terminatorlus Gr. — Poyntzpass, field, at Angelica, in August. 
I. stramentarius Gr. — Coolmore, among sallows. 
I. militaris Gr. — Poyntzpass, in field, at Angelica, in August. Mr. Morley 
("British Ichneumons, vol. i., p. 134) says of this species; "Not 
very common : found in the spring near London, and in Salop 
(Stephens, October, 1835). I know of no other records from Britain,
