came on and dispersed all bees. The little Halictus was resting on the face of a cutting in the sand. If you visit the place please examine a couple of old pits overgrown with brambles. There are some very large burrows in them but it was too cloudy when I was there for the insects to come out. I got here last night but this has been a very wet day here and I am leaving tomorrow morning. There is a large colony of bees on the wall of the Wexford bridge, on the sand-pit end, as on Scarawalsh Bridge! The specimen of [[underlined]] Megachile centuncularis [[/underlined]] was taken flying along the stones of the mud-capped fence by the [[end page]] [[start page]] roadside at Enniscorthy, the earth on top of the fence is almost "honey-combed" by a great colony of bees. The enclosed few insects were all taken after 8 P.M. on the evenings mentioned! Glad to hear that you had a good day in the Deputy's Pass. With kind regards to all Yours sincerely R.A. Phillips
