36 MR. TUCK ON THE ACULEATE-H YMENOPTF.RA OF A SUFFOLK VILLAGE. 
2, 2|, and 2 inches respectively. On the working edge of 2^ inches 
there are three projections and two indentations, all being beautifully 
chipped, but to a very sharp and cutting edge. Of the remaining 
two specimens I shall describe, one seems to resemble a hollow axe 
more than anything else. It is triangular, being roughly 2f, 3f, 
and 3 inches, but instead of running straight from angle to angle 
it is a sweeping hollow curve, and each apex of the triangle is 
beautifully chipped. The last specimen seems to be a combined 
semi-circular and hollow scraper and awl. It is 2 inches long, 
1 j inches wide, the bottom end being chipped to a point on the 
left about inch in length, forming an awl, at the base of which is 
a beautifully-chipped indentation which forms the hollow scraper. 
For the drawing of the illustrations which accompany this, I am 
indebted to the kindness of Miss E. Fryer.

A LIST OF THE ACULEATE-HYMENOPTEEA 
OF A SUFFOLK VILLAGE. 
By W. H. Tuck, M.A. 
Read 30th October , 189J/.. 
It was about four years ago that I began to keep a list of our village 
Aculeate-Hymenoptera. I had always been fond of this branch of 
entomology, as the insects it embraces certainly stand in the front 
rank from their rare intelligence in nest building, and the pursuit 
of them gives plenty of field work during the most pleasant months 
of the year, commencing in early spring with the first rush of Bees, 
to the Sallows and Blackthorn ; later with the Whitethorn and 
Wild Eoses in early summer ; and again with the advent of the 
autumn flowers and the blossoming of the Bramble.
