YORKSHIRE HEMIPTERA DURING 1929 -1932. 
James M. Brown, B.Sc., F.L.S., F.E.S. 
During the past four seasons since my last general report 
on the Yorkshire Hemiptera (The Naturalist, 1929, p. 309), 
the weather has not been very favourable to these insects, 
yet several additions have been made to the county fauna, 
and our knowledge of the distribution of the members of the 
order has been considerably extended. The recent results 
are embodied in the accompanying lists. 
Considerable alterations in nomenclature, especially in 
the generic names, must be made in our recoils to bring them 
into conformity with modern usage. The names here adopted 
are those recommended for use by Mr. W. E. China, of the 
South Kensington Museum. 
In preparing these lists I have to thank several entomo- 
logical friends for help in supplying either records or 
specimens ; in particular Dr. W. J. Fordham, Messrs. M. L. 
Thompson, W. D. Hincks, E. G. Bayford and J. Wood.
