THE FAUNA AND FLORA OF NORFOLK. 
Part XIII. — Ichneumons. 
By Claude Morley, F.Z.S., F.E.S., M. Soc. Ent. France, 
Deutsche Ent. Gesellschaft, etc. 
So wonderfully complete was the first account of the Ichneumons 
of Norfolk, published in these Transactions (Vol. V., part 5, 
pp. 603-632) by John Brooks Bridgman in 1894, that 
it has rendered any earlier revision and addition a work of 
supererogation. This was Bridgman’s last paper, and he had 
then been working upon the subject — exclusively upon Norfolk 
material, with the exception only of occasional shooting visits to 
Wimbledon — for just about 20 years ; so the satisfactory result 
he attained cannot be unlooked for. I have seen a good deal 
of his private correspondence on the subject, especially that to 
his collaborator, the late Mr. E. A. Fitch, of Maldon, and this 
attests throughout the exceptional zeal with which he pursued 
the subject of British Ichneumons. His List contains records 
of 616 species, of which a few are in duplicate, and a great 
many are now regarded as synonymous ; both these points 
need revision, but it is in the discovery of older names for 
those employed, along with all systematists of his period, by 
Bridgman, and in the adaptation to modern classification that 
his List must be considered old-fashioned. I have worked 
through it critically ; and what especially strikes one is the 
peculiar completeness of records among the more obscure 
groups, while the larger and less difficult — such as the 
Anomalides, in which is not a single personal record of his — 
are comparatively neglected and ill-represented. The only 
small and difficult group he failed to tackle is the Orthocentrides, 
and this was nowhere understood till the appearance of Prof. 
Thomson’s monograph upon it in 1898. The majority of the
