of the two former. Putnami, as recognized in this paper and as 

 determined for me by Mr. Fox and Mr. Ashmead, can be readily 

 separated from Couperi. 



B. Oregonensis, Cress., 1S7S. 



o* August 30, Ward; August 1, Lizard Head, several specimens 

 collected by E. I). Hall and determined for me by Mr. Ashmead. 



B. mixtus, Cress., 1878. 



9 Ft. Collins, May 22 ; 9 August 5, 19, Cameron Pass; August 17, 

 Home ; August 30, Ward. I have seen no males, and what I take to be 

 queens are rather small and some of them may prove to be workers. 

 B. so/wrus, Say. 



This has been taken in New Mexico by Prof. Cockerell, and is added 

 to the Colorado list on authority of Mr. Ashmead. It is very closely allied 

 to B.fervidus. Specimens I have seen can be readily separated. There is 

 black pubescence on the sides of the thorax. 



Mr. Ashmead, in his List of Colorado, Hymenoptera, recorded 

 twenty-eight species of Bombus. I have included in the table the 

 following, of which I have seen no specimen from this State: Bombus 

 affinis, B. hudsonicus, B. vagans and B. virginicus. In this paper twenty 

 of these species are given Colorado records. 



The records from Prof. Cockerell referred to several times, are from 

 his Custer County list. 



I wish here to express my thanks for favours received from Prof. T. 

 D. A. Cockerell, Mr. W. J. Fox and Prof. L. Bruner, and especially for 

 the kind assistance of Mr. W. H. Ashmead. Prof. C. P. Gillette, under 

 whom these studies were carried on, has ever been ready and willing to 

 aid me in any possible way. 



AN.FA ANDRIA IN INDIANA. 

 On April 27th, while collecting with my young son, Robert, the boy 

 distinguished himself by capturing several <$ £ of Ancea andria, at a 

 point east of Richmond, Ind., not far from the Indiana-Ohio State line. 

 The authorities give the habitat of andria as " Western States, from 

 Illinois to Texas ; Nebraska." No 9 9 were seen, nor were any 

 specimens seen in the fall. I presume that south-western Ohio can be 

 considered its most eastern habitat. No apparent difference exists 

 between the specimens referred to and material from Texas and other 

 westeiii points. \V. N. Tallant, Richmond, Ind.
