During November, 1958, I studied the Provancher types of Ichneumoninae in the Provincial Museum of Quebec. My work was very much facilitated by the kind assistance of subdirector Noel-M. Comeau, who has arranged the once badly neglected historical specimens in a most exemplary way, securing them against any further damage as well as saving the time of the visiting specialist. I have only to regret that the revision of all Provancher types, which Mr. Comeau has accomplished by many years' endeavour, is not yet published and therefore not available yet to scientific workers.
