8 4 o REPORT OF NEW JERSEY STATE MUSEUM. 



Crn. Cresson, George B., Philadelphia. Son of E. T. Cresson, and also 

 interested in "Hymenoptera." All the records credited to him were 

 made for the first edition, and his collecting was largely done in Cam- 

 den and Gloucester Counties. 



C. V. R., see Riley. 



Davis, G. C., Pasadena, California. Mr. Davis is cited as authority for the 

 New Jersey habitat of certain parasitic "Hymenoptera," and these 

 records come from his published papers. 



Dietz, Ottomar, late of New York City, a coleopterist whose collection 

 contained some interesting species from North Jersey. 



Dietz, Dr. William G., Hazelton, Penna. "Lepidoptera" and especially the 

 "Tineoidea." Dr. Dietz prepared the list in this super-family in the 

 previous edition, and is authority for many of the species listed. He 

 has been good enough to determine much material sent him by New 

 Jersey collectors, and also not a few "Tortricids" and "Pyralids." In 

 the "Coleoptera" Dr. Dietz's papers in the "Rhynchophora" have been 

 followed in the groups treated by him. 



Div., Divers. This means that the record cited has been handed in by 

 more than one, and usually more than two collectors. 



Dke. Daecke, V. A. E., Harrisburg, Pa. An excellent general collector 

 whose expeditions into South Jersey have produced a large number 

 of most useful records in almost all orders. The determinations are 

 almost invariably by specialists and reliable. In the "Tabanidse" Mr. 

 Daecke himself is authority and has furnished the data for this list. 



Dkn. or Dn. Dickerson, Edgar L., Newark. Assistant in the N. J. Exper. 

 Sta. Specializes in "Coleoptera," but collects generally. Many of 

 the Chester records from the "Coll" are due to him. 



Doll, Jacob, Brooklyn, N. Y. A collector and breeder of "Lepidoptera" 

 who has few equals in the skill with which he prepares his specimens. 



Dow, Robert P., Brooklyn. Collects generally, but chiefly in "Coleoptera." 

 Has also specialized somewhat in "Thysanura" and is authority for 

 the list in that order. 



Ds. Davis, Wm. T., Staten Island. One of the few really good general 

 collectors. He has made it an object to thoroughly explore the fauna 

 of Staten Island, and his material, so far as he has not felt competent 

 to work it up himself, has been identified by specialists; so the 

 records may be considered entirely reliable. He has also collected at 

 Lakewood, in Ocean County, Newfoundland, in Morris County, and, 

 to a less extent, at Spring Lake, Passaic Counts', and other localities. 



Dyar, Dr. Harrison G., Washington, D. C., in charge of the "Lepidoptera" 

 in the U. S. National Museum. Dr. Dyar has made a specialty of 

 classification based upon larval structures. He has supplied many 

 notes of food plants of "Lepidoptera," and has also added much to 

 the list of saw flies among the "Hymenoptera." In a few instances 

 the facts with which his name are associated were obtained from 

 his published papers, but as a rule they are original notes made for 

 the previous edition of this work.
