it open, and was surprised to find the 
ground covered with Orchesia micans in 
all stages, the perfect insects skipping 
about like so many fleas, and almost as 
diflScult to catch. I also found in the 
same fungus a few Triplax russica and 
one larva ? of Tiresias serra. 
June 23. I passed hy Brockdish, 
where last year I was rewarded with a 
pair Mycelocharus scapularis, and some 
others still undetermined in my cabinet, 
taken from Fungi. I was delighted to 
see the trees covered with some very fine 
ones, from which, in a month’s time, I 
hope to reap a rich harvest. I knocked 
off a small one and took one M. scapu- 
laris, ahA three or four of another species 
yet undetermined. I have also taken a 
fine series of Carabus monilis. — Ibid. 
OBSEKVATIONS. 
Acontia luctuosa. — This species was 
observed disporting itself in a clover 
field, on the 9th instant. Ours is a 
gravelly soil, and we are some fifteen 
miles from the chalk. — S. Stone, 
hamplon ; June2\. 
Adela viridella bred. — I have had given 
me by Mr. Clements a bred specimen of 
Adela viridella, with the case from which 
it appeared ; the pupa-skin protrudes 
from the end. — C. Miller, 17, Silurian 
Terrace, Broke Road, Dalslon ; June 21. 
Hymenoplera w.Diptera. — At the com- 
mencement of the seventh volume of the 
‘ Intelligencer,’ p. 6, are a few notes 
from me on some pupae of Hymenoptera 
I had discovered in one of our old 
window-sills, with remains of various 
species of flies. Three perfect insects 
came out yesterday. It is a wasp, most 
likely, as Mr. Inchbald said, the car- 
penter wasp. The body is dull black, 
the abdomen belled with yellow, the 
belts interrupted in the middle ; the an- 
tennae are also dull black, with the ex- 
ception of the first joint, which is yellow. 
with a black spot in the middle ; the 
femora and tarsi are very dull yellow ; 
the tibiae bright yellow ; the length 
is about five lines. Perhaps some 
Hymenopterist will recognise the in- 
sect from this description: I shall be 
glad to send a specimen to any of repute.
