2. F. pubescens Gne. Found on the 
sea coast, at Charmouth (and near 
’Weymouth) on reeds. In great 
plenty formerly, when I first sup- 
posed they were only young of F. 
auricularia (being apterous) in 
August and September. 
3. F. decipiens, Gne. Mr. Curtis 
took a specimen near Wilton in 
May 1852, and I took one in the 
middle of .November 1860 from 
laurels, here close to our house, 
and as no reeds were in either 
place I consider that these may be 
decipiens. 
4. Chelidura aptera, Charp ? Mr. 
Curtis had a large specimen found 
dead on the Sea Coast in Suffolk. 
5. C ? ATbipennis, Meg. Found by 
Mr. Westwood in June near Ash- 
ford in Kent. 
6. Anisolabia mcesta, Gne ? f maritima 
Wailes.) Found in plenty by Mr. 
Wailes near Newcastle, who sup- 
poses it to be imported. 
7. Labidura gigantea, Fab. This 
was found in plenty at low water 
mark on the Sea Shore near Christ- 
church, Hants, July 7. 1808 by 
the late Kevd. W. Bingley, in 
company with the late Mr. How- 
man, who went with me to the 
same place in the dusk of evening, 
being the right time, — but it has 
not been taken since. L. gigantea 
has been supposed to have been 
imported also, or to have flown over 
but on my examining the wings 
they are smaller and finer than the 
common one and, I think, not well 
adapted for long flights. 
8. Labia minor, Leach. Found near 
mixtons, and flies well in the sun- 
shine. There appear to be three 
different kinds (or sexes?) as re- 
gards the size of the forceps at the 
tail. I have observed in Agrion 
three sorts (or sexes ?) in a few, 
such as tenellum, pumilio and 
elegans / or, at least, there are two 
kinds of females. J. C. Dale,
