Ecological Distribution. — Along the coast occurs both in true 

 salt marsh and in the marginal (Submaritime) zones, though in my 

 experience it is most frequent in true salt marsh, where it chiefly 

 inhabits the tall, reedy growths of Spartina glabra along the tidal 

 streams and ditches. Mr. Davis writes that he found it at Lake- 

 hurst about cranberry bogs. 



Locality Records. —

 Anglesea (Fox) ; Cold Spring (Davis, personal communication) ; 

 CapeMay (N.J.St. Mus. Rep.); Goshen (Fox); Dennisville (Davis). 



Cape May Interior. — In a personal letter Mr. Davis does not specify 

 any locality, but states that he has collected the species "about as 

 far away from the salt water as it was possible for it to get on the 

 rather narrow strip of land." 



C. nebrascensis Bruner. 



General Range. — Records known to me include parts of southern 

 New Jersey, southeastern Pennsjdvania, Ontario, Indiana, Minnesota 

 and Nebraska. 



Local Distribution. — Rather infrequent and local, in my expe- 

 rience most frequent in the Delaware Valley, occasional in the 

 Coastal District. 



Ecological Distribution. — In swamps, frequenting rather dense, 

 reedy growths of grasses and sedges. 



Locality Records. — 



Middle District. — Elmwood, in Tinicum meadows, in a swamp 

 containing an almost pure growth of rice cut-grass {Homalocenchriis 

 oryzoides) (Fox). 



Washington Park (Fox). 



Coastal District. — Sea Isle City (Haim, in N. J. St. Mus. Rep.); 

 Cold Spring (Long) ; Cape May Point, in Scirpus americanus marsh 

 along edge of salt marsh (Fox)."^* 



C. caudellianus Davis. 



General Range. — I do not knoAV of any records of the occurrence 

 of this species outside of New Jersey. 



2'' Mr. Davis writes mo that the I^akehurst record credited to him in the 

 State Museum Report refers to C. It/rides and not to C. ncbrascensiti. Its inchi- 

 sion under the latter was an error.
