220 THE ESSEX NATURALIST
tions in the west of the county have extensive tracts of acid sandy
heathland with large shallow ponds and bogs.
Mr P. J. Chandler is similarly gathering Kent records, and his
Tipulidae list for that county now totals 125 species. This includes
several recent unpublished additions made by Mr R. I. Vane-
Wright. Kent has a more varied coast-line than Essex, but I
would not expect much difference in the final lists for the two
counties.
