402 Mr. W. F. Kirbj on the ments (14—17). Male generative apertures paired, and situ-ated upon 18th segment of body, which is always behind the elitellum ; genital papillte occasionally developed in neigh-bouring segments. Female generative aperture single, and within the elitellum upon the 14th segment. Two pairs of testes, more or less solid and compact^ in segments 11 and 12 ; terminal portion of vas deferens on either side connected with the duct of a large prostate gland. Copulatory pouches varying in number from two to four pairs, and provided each with a variously shaped supplementary pouch or pouches. Intestine with a cascum on either side in 20th segment*.

XLVII. — On the Hymenoptera collected during the recent Expedition of H.M.8. ^Challenger.'' By W. F. Kirby, Assistant in Zoological Department, British Museum. The series of Hymenoptera collected during the voyage of H.M.S. ' Challenger ' is interesting not only on account of several apparently new species having been obtained, but because * In two species, P. Sieboldi and P. musicus, Horst (' Notes Leyden Museum,' &c. pp. 192 & 194) describes sis of these cieca on each side; but in the latter species, at least, they do not seem to be at all regular in their presence.
