base with greyish hairs, and furnished with a series of scales beneath, [see fig. b]. Feet pale red, otherwise the general colour of the insect is black. It lives on the willow. (This appears to be the Tenthredo lucorum, a species not preserved in the Linnæan cabinet.)
A small Papilio, of the fritillary tribe, with one silver mark underneath of the form of a shield. See it among those of Petiver collected in Portugal. (This must surely be Papilio C album.)
A greyish Butterfly with feathered antennæ, whose female has no wings. See Swammerdam. (Phalæna antiqua.)
An elegant little blackish Butterfly, besprinkled with snow-white spots like rings, smooth and polished on the under side, was very plentiful in the paths.
A black Tipula was running over the water, and turning round like a Gyrinus or Water Flea. (Cimex lacustris.)
In the wells, the Swammerdamia of Swammerdam and Lister ran about with great velocity. Among these was a very minute insect, which I could not ascertain.
An Elasticus, (Elater, probably the æneus,) of a golden black, with striated cases to the wings, and geniculated antennæ.
