MISCKLLANEOUS NOTEsi AND OliSEUVATlONS.

at Trescoe, 18G3-G5, I am not surprised your specimen found its 
way into Vingoe’s hands from the islands without being recorded 
by Mr. llodd.” 
In addition to this evidence afforded by the extract from Mr. 
Cornish’s communication liere given, Mr. Yingoe put on a paper 
a statement that he received the Flycatcher in the flesh, and 
skinned and stuffed it. — J. H. Gurney, Ju.s. 
Ai’Anteles stauroi’ODIs, M.AR.SHALL. — At tlic end of September, 
1888, Mr. Thoidess gave me a group of cocoons of an Apauft le.^, 
which had been formed by larvie which had just emerged from the 
larva of the Lobster Moth {Sfaun>j>us faiji). On October 20th some 
of the parasites emerged. I could find no description of them : they 
appeared to come next to A. oefonarittx, litz. I therefore .sent them 
to the Kev. T. A. ^lai’shall, who decided they were new to science, 
and proposed the above name. He will describe them in ‘ Species 
des Ilymenopteres d’Europe et d’Algi'rie,’ vol. iv., which consists 
of tile Lraconidie, and is being written by Mr. Marshall. S/aurojtux 
t'ai/i seems to be very much infested with parasites. 1 have several 
species bred from this singidar larva. — -I. If. Lridgman, F.L.S. 
SriR.EA tomentosa ano Samrucus RACE.MOSA. — These two foreign 
shrubs have both become partially naturalized in Norfolk. The 
former, which is very like the common garden shrub N. ml iri folia, 
but has leaves downy beneath and flowers of a deeper rose colour, 
grows at Merton, in damp ground near Lord Walsingham’s house, 
and has been sent to me by the Lev. II. Williams. The latter, 
the Ked-bcrried Elder, from a plantation at Sculthorpe Fen, where 
it is believed to have been originally planted by the late Sir 
Willoughby Jones, has been sent by the Kev. E. W. Dowell.
