Megacuile liuniseoa. Kirby. This species I have not met with, 
hut have included it in my list on the authority 
of Paget, who says, “ common in gardens.” I 
have some doubt as to the correctness of the 
name of Paget’s species, because he makes no 
mention of M. maritiina , an equally large species 
which does abound there. It is just possible that 
he may be right, and his species be the true 
M. ligniseca. He was in communication with 
Curtis, who may have named his insects. Ho 
makes no mention of Dasypoda Mrtipes which 
is also “ common in gardens,” so my doubts may 
be unfounded. 
„ versicolor. Smith. I have a female which Mr. Smith 
returned to me as this species ; I took it in my 
garden in 1873. 
,, circumcincta. Kirby. Not uncommon round the 
city, during the months of June and July. 
„ willughbiella. Kirby. Py far the most plentiful 
species of the genus in this district, during June, 
July, and August. 
„ maritima. Kirby. Not uncommon on Household and 
Yarmouth; July and August. 
Sub-Fam. IY. Scopulipides. Latr. 
Eucera longicornis. Lin. Not uncommon round Norwich. 
There is also a large colony extending about a 
quarter of a mile by the road side at Postwick ; they 
make their appearance about the end of May. 
Antjiopiiora retusa. Lin. Plentiful on Household and the 
neighbourhood. The general time of appearance 
is the beginning of May, but in 1874 I took a 
male as early as April 7th, and they were to be 
seen in plenty on the 19th of the same month. 
„ acervorum. Fab. To bo found in almost every dry 
bank. This is perhaps the earliest spring bee : it 
appoars with the first fine days at the end of 
March.
