Notes on Arachnida and Hemiptera. 



Though this report is very meagre, nevertheless the outing, 

 from an entomological point of view, must be regarded as 

 a great success, if only by the discovery of the two interesting 

 insects mentioned above. 



Mr. J. Eardley Mason notes the following: — 



Hemiptera-Heteroptera. Phylus melanocephalus L. 



Dictvonota strichnocera Fieb. On Oak (Quercus sp.). 



Abundant on Furze (Ulex Psallus lepidus Fieb. Many on 



europseus). Ash (Fraxinus excelsior). 



Phytocoris ulmi L. Some on Psallus alnicola D.& S. A few 



Elm (Ulmus montanus). on Sallow (Salix sp.). 



The lateness of the season was evidenced by the numerous 

 immature individuals, not only of the above, but of many more 

 species. 



In Economic Entomology and Botany no damage was noticed 

 by Mr. Mason either to corn crops or to roots. 



Mr. W. Denison Roebuck, F.L.S., who had endeavoured to 

 collect Molluscs, but from the brilliantly sunny weather without 

 much success, noted that Helix cantiana, H. virgata, and H. 

 cnperata were very abundant on made ground by the railway 

 bridges near Castle Bytham, at which village H. aspersa, Agrio- 

 limax agrestis, etc., were common.
