yellow. Sides of segments 1-3 yellow, including the auricles ; sides of 

 7-9 broadly yellow, with apical ventral angles bordered with black ; 

 appendages yellow. 



Appendages yellow, the superiors one-third longer than the inferior, 

 hardly as long as the 9th abdominal segment. Viewed from above, the 

 superiors are arcuate, approximated at apex around an oval space, but not 

 quite touching, smoothly rounded externally ; the inferior shows an oval 

 apical cleft, whose depth equals one-third the length of that appendage. 

 Viewed from the side, the superiors are broad at base, suddenly contracted 

 just beyond, and then cylindric and regularly declined to apex, with the 

 superior margin regularly curving from base to apex ; a straight row of 

 half a dozen black denticles beneath the apical third ; apex obtuse. 

 Inferior declined at base and upcurved at apex, its superior margin 

 forming a regular semicircular curve ; apices hidden between superiors, 

 each bearing a little superior tooth. 



A single male specimen collected at Corvallis, Oregon, June 6th, by 

 Prof. A. B. Cordley, by whose generosity the specimen is now in the 

 collection of the writer. 



NOTES. 



We regret to record the death of Mr. R. J. Weith, of Elkhart, 

 Indiana, which took place on Sunday, September 21st, after an illness of 

 only two days, from appendicitis. Mr. Weith was born in Prussia, on the 

 15th of September, 1847. At the age of twenty-five he came to America, 

 and after visiting many of the large cities in the east and south, finally 

 settled at Elkhart, where he lived for about a quarter of a century. For 

 many years he devoted himself to the study of entomology and the collec- 

 tion of insects, especially Hymenoptera, and made many notable captures. 



Mr. Otis W. Barrett, formerly of Tacubaya, Mexico, is now at the 

 Agricultural Experiment Station, Mayaguez, Porto Rico, and desires his 

 correspondents to take note of his new address. 



The Annual Meeting of the Entomological Society of Ontario will 

 be held in London, on Wednesday and Thursday, October 29th and 30th. 



Mailed October 9th, 1902.
