838 REPORT OF NEW JERSEY STATE MUSEUM. 



Bird, Henry, Rye, New York. A lepidopterist who makes a special study 

 of boring larvae and has added much to our knowledge of "Hydroecia" 

 and allies, in which his records are cited. 



Bland, James H., Philadelphia. One of our oldest coleopterists, and, in 

 olden days, a great collector in southern New Jersey. 



Bno. Bueno, J. R. de la Torre, New York City. Hemipterist, and 

 specializes in the "Heteroptera." An earnest student of the younger 

 generation, who has supplied the arrangement in his specialty and 

 many of the records as well. 



Brn. Boerner, Chas. R., Philadelphia. A coleopterist who has taken 

 many good species in New Jersey. South Jersey is his stamping 

 ground, and his material has been named by Mr. Wenzel, Mr. Liebeck, 

 Prof. Fall and other authorities.* 



Brakeley, J. Turner, Bordentown. An enthusiastic amateur and owner 

 of the Lahaway Cranberry plantations, whence I have received a very 

 large number of specimens from him. He is the originator of the 

 plaster cast method of studying underground insects, and has added 

 much to our knowledge of mosquito habits. 



Brb. Barber, H. G., Roselle, N. J. Secretary of the New York Ent. Soc., 

 and an Hemipterist who has furnished many records in that order. 

 He has also looked over the manuscript of the "Heteroptera" and 

 has made many useful suggestions. 



Br. Brehme, H. H., Newark. Assistant in the mosquito work in the 

 State, and has taken many of the species cited as from "Coll." Also 

 collects and breeds "Lepidoptera," mainly butterflies, sphinges and 

 larger bombyces. To Mr. Brehme I owe a very useful list of food 

 plants and dates of the occurrence of the early stages as well as the 

 number of broods noted. 



Bruner, Lawrence, Lincoln, Nebraska; Professor at the State University: 

 specialist in the "Orthroptera." Prof. Bruner has determined much 

 of the material collected by me, and revised the manuscript of the 

 previous list in the "Orthoptera." 



Bsk. Busck, August, Washington, D. C. An assistant in the Entomo- 

 logical division of the U. S. Dept. of Agric., a student of the "Micro- 

 lepidoptera" and a specialist in the "Tineid" families. His records 

 are largely cited by Mr. Kearfott. 



Bt. Beutenmuller, William, New York City. Associate Curator for "Lepi- 

 doptera" in the American Museum of Natural History. Mr. Beuten- 

 muller has supplied records in several orders, and in "Coleoptera" 

 and "Lepidoptera" has supplied many data concerning early stages, 

 food habits, etc. In the "Cynipidse" and "Cecidomyiidae" he is au- 

 thority for the present list. He has published several lists of species 

 found near New York, and these have been freely used. His chief 

 collecting ground in New Jersey has been the district near Fort Lee, 

 along the foot of the Palisades, on their wooded slopes and often on 

 their summit. Greenwood Lake and Lake Hopatcong have also been 

 visited by him on entomological excursions. 



* His collection is now at New Brunswick.
