Has captured a bee with pollinia adhering to its head. Will send it to CD if he likes.
Bee with adhering orchid pollinia lent to Charles Daubeny. Pollen-masses shaken off but if CD still interested he is welcome to specimen.
Sends photo for B. D. Walsh; requests those of New World entomologists, and CD’s.
