[[preprinted]] 4, Thurtlestone Road, Newton Abbot Devon. [[/preprinted]] 13.ii.35 Dear Stelfox, Your box arrived by last post yesterday, so that I was only able to look through them in a low light at 5 p.m., but I made them out correctly so far as I can see after a careful examination this morning. Crosswise left to right as they now stand they are: 1st row. [[underlined]] Nomada rufipes [[/underlined]] [[insertion]] Sheen R. Co. SK. AWS. 17.7.34. [[/insertion]] ordinary black [[female symbol]] I took one [[female symbol]] half this size only last year - the smallest I ever saw! [[underlined]] Crabro [[/underlined]] (pubescens) [[underlined]] nigrita [[/underlined]]. [[insertion]] Sheen R. Co. SK. AWS. 17.7.34. [[male symbol]] [[/insertion]] (Kohl doubted whether the old name [[underlined]] nigrita [[/underlined]] really referred to this species, but I think it does) [[underlined]] Selandria morio.
