Very few species of bees were described in Great Britain 
until that indefatigable and most excellent inquirer into all 
subjects of Entomology, the Rev. W. Kirby, F. L. S., pub? 
lished his Monograpliia Apum Anglice, in which more 
than 220 species are noticed, of which 200 at least had not 
been before described as English. We now add another by 
the help of Mr. Jonathan Salt, of Sheffield. It is remarkable 
chiefly on account of the thorax being yellow.
