varies in size without perceptible variation in elytral markings; oc- 
- curs on ocean beach and alkaline flats; not inclined to inhabit the 
borders of inland fresh-water pools. 
Cicindela sigmoidea Lec. A very abundant species, actually 
swarming on the bay beach during June and July. Attracted in 
considerable numbers by the electric light. 
Cicindela gabbii Horn. Occurs in August on alkaline flats. Very 
desirable and not abundant. 
Cicindela hemorrhagica Lec. Occurs throughout the county. 
Formerly abundant about San Diego Bay, but has retreated before 
the advance of civilization, and at the present time is exceedingly 
rare.

September. From the sea-shore it extends up Pefiasquitos Creek 
for the distance of fourteen miles to Poway (elevation 700 feet).
