Aaron, Eugene M. Lepidopterist and student in the butterflies: cited 

 from published records. 



A. E. S. American Entomological Society: Philadelphia. This means 

 that New Jersey specimens are in the society collection, usually with 

 a State label only. The society now possesses, among others, the 

 collections of the late Dr. George H. Horn and of the late Messrs. 

 Wilt and Martindale. The collection of Mr. E. T. Cresson is also 

 stored in its rooms, and there is much material from older sources, in- 

 cluding quite a number of types. I have looked carefully over the 

 collections in "Hymenoptera," and Dr. Calvert cites those in "Odo- 

 nata." 



Ang. Angleman, John B., Newark. Collects "Macro-lepidoptera," and 

 has furnished some of the records credited to the Newark Society. 

 Mr. Angleman's collections have been largely made within a few 

 miles of Newark. 



Angel I, George W. J., New York City. Collector of "Coleoptera" chiefly, 

 but occasionally cited in other orders. 



Ashm. or Ash. Ashmead, Dr. William H., late of Washington, D. C. Dr. 

 Ashmead was Assistant Curator of insects in the United States Na- 

 tional Museum, and, until the time of his death, the leading authority 

 in the "Hymenoptera." In the old catalogue that order was compiled 

 by him from data furnished by collectors and contributors generally, 

 from material in his own collection and from the collections in the 

 U. S. Nat. Mus. He also made many determinations in "Hemiptera" 

 for me. 



Banks, Nathan, Falls Church, Virginia; Assistant in the Division of Ento- 

 mology, IT. S. Dept. of Agric. Is a specialist in the "Neuropterous" 

 orders, and has determined not only my material, but that of other 

 collectors who sent him their New Jersey specimens. I have used 

 Mr. Banks' Catalog of Neuroptera as a guide in this list, but have 

 given the divisions ordinal rather than family rank. 



Beyer, G., New York City. Coleopterist; has sent me records chiefly 

 from the northern section of the State.

Bf. Bischoff, E. A., Newark. An enthusiastic collector of "Coleoptera," 

 and his records are numerous. His collecting grounds are chiefly 

 the environs of Newark, but this embraces the marshy districts lying 

 east and south, and the hilly country lying west and north along the 

 first ridge of the Orange Mountains. The locality "Orange Mts.," in 

 Mr. Bischoff' s records, usually means the ridge west of South Orange, 

 the vicinity of Hemlock Falls and in the direction of Eagle Rock.
