would lie on my hand and eat the flies which I caught and of- 

 fered in my fingers. Sometimes he would catch the flies himself 

 if I held him close to the window where they were crawling. He 

 also ate a number of small spiders that were just emerging from 

 the egg case placed in a glass jar. The lizard was kept in a cage 

 with adults of the same species and was possibly eaten by them, 

 as no trace of him could be found, and these lizards had, on two 

 other occasions, been suspected of devouring small lizards. 



HYMENOPTERA. 



Pogonomyrmex ba.rba.t2is var. nwnefaciens. These ants were 

 eaten October 29, November 3, November 22 and May 24. 

 The sting is quite severe. 



Pachycondyla liarpax, a stinging Ponerine ant, was eaten Octo- 

 ber 28. 



Polistcs annularis, a formidable wasp, was not noticed Novem- 

 ber 5. 



ORTHOPTERA. 



Giylhis abbreviatus. Several of these crickets were eaten 

 March 7 and March I r. It is therefore probable that those in- 

 troduced November 9, January 18, and January 19, were also 

 eaten, since crickets seem to be a favorite food with all the species 

 of lizards. 



NEUROPTERA. 



Panorpa nuptialis Gerst. This species has the wings of typical 

 black and yellow warning colors. A female was introduced 

 November 9 and a male November 15. Both disappeared in 

 some way, but were not seen to be eaten. 



ARACHNIDA. 



Epeira fasciata Hentz. This protectively colored specimen was 

 eaten October 25 and a second November 6. 



SCORPIONS. 



Centrums caroliniensis Beauv. On March 23 the specimen 

 which was introduced stung one of the lizards. He appeared to 

 be in much pain and was so frightened at the scorpion that the 

 experiment seemed likely to terminate there, but suddenly he 

 seized the offending sting in his mouth and spitefully devoured the
