FAUNA AND FLORA OF NORFOLK. 
559 
hosts in the former List were not from Norfolk, and these I 
have omitted, retaining only the names of those from wffiich 
Ichneumons have been bred in the County. I have added 
synonyms only -when a name has been altered from that in the 
former List, and the number of these will well illustrate the 
vicissitudes through which the study has passed during the last 
twenty years. The records from Paget’s “ Yarmouth ” and 
Stephens’ “Illustrations” are still retained for what they are 
worth, which amounts to little nowadays. Where no authority 
for a record is instanced, Bridgman is understood ; and the 
name quoted is always that of the captor, for the whole of the 
earlier records are upon his authority, and the more recent ones 
— all those since the date of his List, in fact — are upon my 
own. Thus he is responsible for all Mr. E. A. Atmore’s earlier 
records, and I have had the pleasure of naming the latter ones. 
Besides these, many species from the County have at various 
times been sent to me for determination by Mr. C. J . Wainwright, 
Mr. E. Brunetti, Mr. F. C. Hinde, Mr. E. A. Elliott, and others; 
while specimens thence were in the late Mr. A. Beaumont’s 
collection, and I have myself occasionally collected both in the 
Broads and upon the West Coast. I have marked additions to 
the former splendid List with an asterisk, and the total number 
now known in Norfolk is 675 — a number at present exceeded 
by no pubiished county list, though those of Suffolk and Surrey 
(embodied in my “ British Ichneumons ”) wall probably rather 
exceed it, but that of Devonshire is 585, and no other county 
has yet been sufficiently worked to attain a position. The total 
of the indigenous kinds in Britain is 1,517. 
I have added a short and preliminary List of the other 
parasitic Hymenoptera that have chanced to come under my 
observation from time to time ; but this part of the study has 
received practically no attention in the County hitherto, and, 
although he collected them, Bridgman published next to nothing 
upon the Braconidse, etc. His collection of them, preserved in 
the Norwich Castle Museum (though not, I believe, along with 
the remainder of his Hymenoptera, which I have three or four 
times consulted in the Committee Rooms since 1899), will be
