NEW BRITISH BEES 
45. N. signata, Jurine (Smith, Zoologist, ii. 602); not 
uncommon some seasons around the Hampstead and High- 
gate districts. 
46. AT. JRoberjeotiana , Panzer (Smith, Zoologist, ii. 603); 
a very rare species, discovered at Blackwater, Hants; Mr. 
Dale has also captured it, I believe in Hampshire. 
47. AT. rubra , Smith; described in the Zoologist, vol.vii. 
App. 41, from the unique specimen in the British Museum, 
taken at Kingsbridge, Devon, by Dr. Leach. 
48. N. mistura , Smith (Zoologist, ix. App. 127); taken at 
Newcastle by Mr. Hewitson; I have since captured a specimen 
in Yorkshire, and have received it from Scotland. 
49. N. atrata , Smith (Zoologist, iv. 1568); taken at 
Arundel by Mr. S. Stevens; it has not occurred elsewhere 
that I am aware of.

50. Ccelioxys rufescens , St. Farg. (Smith, Zoologist, iii.

51. C. Vectis , Curtis (British Entomology, folio 349); 
very plentiful along the Undercliff, Isle of Wight, in July; 
it has occurred in Hants, and this season at Putney, taken 
by Mr. Grant. 
52. C. sponsa , Smith, n. sp. This is probably the male 
of the next species; both will be described in my work on 
the British Bees; they were taken in the London district. 
53. C. manclibularis , Nylander; taken in the same loca¬ 
lity as the former. 
54. C. umbrina , Smith (Zoologist, iii. 1153). This insect 
occurs in profusion along the Undercliff, Isle of Wight* 
particularly in Sandown Bay, in July.
