Insects in Great Britain, 
273 
ADDENDUM. 
SINCE the above paper was finished, one of us (I. H. B.) 
has made observations upon the early spring flowers near 
Scarborough — from March 15 to April 11, 1895. Details 
cannot here be given, but the following table shows the total 
number of species of insects visiting each class of flower. All 
the open flowers (thirty-seven in number) in the district were 
studied. To five anemophilous plants and to three of the class 
A B no visitors were observed ; the other twenty-nine flowers 
were visited as follows : — -

A comparison of these numbers with those given in the 
other tables may be made. We may call attention to the 
increased proportion of short-tongued bees and flies. 
In addition to those entomologists whose services have 
been acknowledged earlier, we desire to thank also Messrs. 
Edward Saunders and C. Warburton for their very kind 
assistance.
