Abstract
THE distribution of wasps this summer would seem to have been rather local, for this village is less than two miles from Christon, where Mr. St. George Gray was plagued with wasps (see NATURE, November 16, p. 209), yet here they have been very scarce, small, and apparently starvelings, though a few full-sized queens have been caught recently. Christon lies on a sunny slope, and this village is at the foot of the north side of a hill, yet that could not account fof all the difference, for we have had more wasps than enough in recent years.
