Crustaceans. Frogs nos. 7 and 12 had each eaten a crawfish, of 

 which there remained as evidence only the clicli|ic(ls. These indi- 

 catcd half grown individuals o! 1 (lie genus C a m b a r u s. Frog 

 no. I." had eaten, probably by accident, a minute ;ind undeicr 

 mined eopepod. 



Hymenoptera. These collections were made during ilie season 

 of illicit of the winded males and females of the hit;- carpenter :int 

 i < ' a m ]> o n o t u s pennsylvanicus) remains of Avhich 

 \\ere found in nine stomachs. Thus this species occurred a 

 greater number of times than any other. Stranded specimens 

 were frequently seen floating down the creek, and ilie frogs ma\ 

 as well have obtained them from the surface as from the air. 

 Worker bumble bees (Bom bus t e r n a r i 11 s Say and 1'.. 

 cons i m i 1 i s Cr.) were found in five stomachs, and these wen- 

 doubtless obtained alive. The bullfrog would seem to be. like the 

 brook trout, immune to bee poison. The other hymeiioptera were 

 bin three; a wasp (Vespa diabolic a Sauss.) in frog no. 12, 

 a sawfly larva in frog no. 1, and a minute parasitic hymenopler in 

 frog No. 11. 



Coleoptera. Of the 16 specimens of this order eaten 12 were 

 C a r a b i d a e (11 adults and one larva) . and there were single 

 adults of S c a r a b a e i d a e , Chrysomelidae, and C u r - 

 c u 1 i o n i d a e . and a single larva of E 1 a t e r i d a e . 



Diptera. This order was represented by the largest number of 

 individuals, but many of them were very small. Six families were 

 represented : T i p u 1 5 d a e , C h i r o n o m i d a e . S t r a t i o - 

 m y i d a e , S y r p h i d a e , T a b a n i d a e , and Tacliinidae. 



A single adult Tabanid was eaten, two adult Tachinids, 

 four adult S y r p h i d s , the better preserved appearing to belong 

 to (lie genus E r i s t a 1 i s , five adult T i p u 1 i d a e . all belong- 

 ing to moderate sized species of the genus T i p u 1 a . There was a 

 single adult C h i r o n o m i d . but there were eleven pupae, ten 

 of them from frog no. 14, all belonging to the genus C h i r o n o - 

 m u s and one larva from the same frog belonging to the same 

 genus and one belonging in Ceratopogon. A sixth family. 

 S t r a t i o m y i i d a e . was represented by twelve larvae of 

 S t r a t i o m y i a b a d i u s ? from frog no. 1 . Tn bulletin ^7.
