Rare Bees ( Andrew analis , Nomada 
xanthosticta, N. Fabriciana ). — The An - 
drena analis seems here exclusively at- 
tached to sandy peat soils for its nidifiea- 
tion : the males were all gone, and the 
females busy carrying a yellow pollen to 
their burrows. The larva is white. The 
Nomada xanthosticta is of course at- 
tendant on it. I mention N. Fabriciana 
because it was a perfectly immaculate 
variety, not indicated by Mr. Smith. —

NOTES OF AN ENTOMOLOGICAL TOUR 
IN CORNWALL. 
[Continued from p. 144.] 
Before taking leave of the Lizard, 
perhaps a few notes on its various fea- 
tures may be desirable. It is a small 
tract of level country about 200 feet 
above the sea, hollowed out here and 
there into little valleys by the influence 
of running water, and ending on all 
sides in steep jagged cliffs, which have 
been broken by the force of the sea into 
gorges and bays of every shape and size. 
There are no trees, and the place of 
hedges is supplied by rough stone walls, 
which also serve the purpose of paths : 
a large part of it is uncultivated, and 
here the Cornish Heath ( Erica vagans) 
grows freely. When I was there the 
downs were gay with the pale lilac 
blossoms of the vernal squill ( Scilla 
verna), the place of which is supplied 
somewhat later by the chives ( Allium 
Schcenoprasum). The variety and luxu- 
riance of the vegetation in some of the 
little coves is really remarkable; and, if 
worked, the Lizard would probably soon 
win the same high reputation among en- 
tomologists that it has long held among 
botanists. 
The little village that is dignified by 
the name of Lizard Town is situated at 
the end of the promontory, and is within a 
mile of the sea on three sides : the houses 
appear to have dropped into their places 
by accident, and the roads meander 
among them in a most perplexing man- 
ner : there is an inn, a general shop, and 
three or four houses where they let 
lodgings: the church is about half a 
mile off, and the few houses around it 
are called Lizard Church Town ; people 
who are not afraid of losing their teeth 
call it Landewedneck. Any one visiting 
the place will find an admirable guide in 
a little book called ‘ A Week at the 
Lizard.’ 
Returning to Probus on the 10th, I 
took the following: — 
June 11th. — Alternaria, Metaxellus, 
Illigerellus, Crepuseulella. 
June 12th. — Rubidaria, Rivularia. 
June 16th. — Ramburialis; a single 
specimen flying in a swamp at dusk. 
Closely allied to Literalis, but more 
glossy, and the markings more irregular 
— Udana. 
June 17th. — Badiana, Campoliliana. 
Viminetella larvae on sallow and Myrica 
Gale. 
June 18th. — Nervosa larvae full fed, 
common ; sometimes spin-up in the leaves 
instead of burrowing into the stems. 
Viminetorum larvae ; moth, July 6th. 
June 19th. — Lignaria, Coronaria, Lu- 
zella, Verhuellella ; a small larva mining 
in the shoots of Centaurea nigra, causing 
the heads to droop : it seems to enter close 
to the axil of a leaf, about two or three 
inches from the top, and burrow from 
side to side while young. Its subsequent 
habits in a state of nature I do not know, 
but in confinement in bores in the stem 
eating the greater part of it, as also the 
young shoots in the axils of the leaves, 
and ejecting the frass from a hole in the 
stem. Head black, body yellowish, with 
small black dots. 
June 21st. — Hydraria, Perlellus,Ino- 
piana, Cidarella. 
June 22nd. — A Depressaria larva on
