848 REPORT OF NEW JERSEY STATE MUSEUM. 



W. Wenzel, Henry W., Philadelphia. One of the best collectors of 

 "Coleoptera" in the country, and possesses the best individual col- 

 lection in Philadelphia. His collections in New Jersey have been 

 chiefly made along the line of the Atlantic City R. R., in Caniden and 

 Gloucester Counties, within easy reach of Philadelphia, and at Angle- 

 sea, Cape May County. This latter point has been a favorite, as 

 the number of species taken there will testify. He has also collected 

 at Lake Hopatcong and in the Orange Mts. To Mr. Wenzel the list 

 of "Coleoptera" owes much of its completeness, and in the families 

 "Scydmsenidse" and "Pselaphidas" he has practically prepared the 

 entire list. Incidentally he also collects in other orders, the material 

 gathered being generally turned over to his friends, according to their 

 specialties. 



Watson, Frank E., New York City. A Lepidopterist who gives much atten- 

 tion to the life histories of diurnals. 



WEB. Britton. Dr. W. E., New Haven, Conn., Entomologist to the Ex- 

 periment Station. Dr. Britton has been good enough to help me out in 

 the "Aleyrodidse" and "Coccidse," the list in the first-named being as 

 prepared by him. 



Weigand, Fred, Philadelphia. An amateur whose captures are recorded 

 by other collectors of that city. 



Wdt. Weidt, A. J., Newark. A Lepidopterist and more recently interested 

 in "Diptera." Most of his collecting has been done in the environs 

 of Newark and in the Orange Mountains, and much of his material 

 in the "Lepidoptera" has been seen by me. 



Wheeler, Dr. William Morton, Harvard Univ., Professor of Entomology. 

 Specializes in ants and has written the list in that series. Dr. 

 Wheeler has made many of his studies in New Jersey, and this makes 

 the records in the "Formicoidea" exceptionally complete and satis- 

 factory. 



Wrms. Wormsbacher, Henry, Jersey City. A Lepidopterist who has col- 

 lected at various points in the Hackensack Valley. His records are 

 scattered throughout the order. 



Zabriskie, Rev. J. L. Has collected generally, largely at Flatbush, Long 

 Island, and at Nyack and other points just north of the New Jersey 

 line. Some of his specimens are in the U. S. Nat. Mus., and these 

 are credited to him in this list. 



A very few names have been omitted, where only cited once or 

 twice, but I think no contributor of any important record has been over- 

 looked: none has been intentionally left out, and sincere thanks are given 

 to all for their contributions. It is only by the contributions of many, 135 

 in this case, that even an approximately complete survey of the insect 

 fauna of any State can be obtained.
