NOTES ON NEW PHILIPPINE HYMENOPTERA

Dr. W. H. Ashmead, of the National Museum, Washington, D. C.., has published from time to time in the Canadian Entomologist descriptions of new genera and new species of Hymenoptea from the Philippine Islands. As the great majority of these new insects were either collected or bred in the garden attached to the Manila Observatory, perhaps the life histories of some of them will not be without interest and value.
