only to the offspring when similars are bred together. The black charac- 

 ter is, therefore, stable, or self-perpetuating in the first generation. 

 Spotted [individuals appearing in a cross between the two opposing 

 characters] transmit both opposing characters to the offspring, the off- 

 spring likewise transmitting both characters though bred from similar 

 parents. In the third generation from similar parents the spotted appear 

 to breed true." The article is well worthy of careful study.

ENTOMOLOGICAL GLEANINGS FROM ALL QUARTERS 



OF THE GLOBE. 



MRS. A. T. SLOSSON has changed her address from 38 E. 23d Street 

 to 83 Irving Place, New York city. She will probably spend July and 

 August in the White Mountains. 



MESSRS. DAECKE, H. W. WENZEL, H. A. WENZEL AND SKINNER had a 

 pleasant collecting trip on April 3oth ; lona, N. J., was visited, lloinby- 

 lius pyguucns, Basiceschna Janata, Neurocordulia uhleri, and Pyrgus 

 centaurecs were among the species taken. This is apparently the first 

 record for P. centaurea? south of the Orange Mountains. Mr. Wenzel took 

 many rare Scolytidse and some new to his collection. lona is in Gouces- 

 ter county about 26 miles south of Camden. 



WE HAVE received a circular of announcement of the courses offered at 

 Cedar Point Lake Laboratory, of the Ohio State University, for the com- 

 ing summer and which calls attention to the course in entomology. This 

 embraces a study of different orders of insects, gives practical training in 

 collecting, preparing, mounting, labeling and identifying insects, and is 

 intended to furnish a practical field and laboratory experience for those 

 who wish to get started in the methods of entomological study. Particu- 

 lars may be had from PROF. HERBERT OSBORN, Columbus, Ohio. 



ATLANTICUS (Orthoptera.) On October 16, 1904, I took a female Atlan- 

 ticiu; in dry upland woods near Cold Spring, Long Island, which is inter- 

 esting for two reasons. First, because members of this genus are very 

 rare in this vicinity ; and, second, because it is almost absolutely interme- 

 diate beween the only two species that do occur here A. pachyiiit-rus 

 (Burm.) and A. dorsalis (Burm.). 



The ovipositor of this specimen is 22 mm. long. Beutenmuller ('94, 

 Bull, of Am. Mus. Nat. Hist., VI.) gives 30 mm. as the length of the 

 ovipositor of dorsalis and 20 mm. of pac/iymt-rns. It is, thus, in this, 

 nearer pac/iyinen/s. Its femur is 25 mm. long. Beutenmuller gives (p. 

 290 loc cit] for the female (?) dorsalis femur 27 mm. and for pitc/iyit'nis 

 22 mm. This is, then, in this nearer dorsn/is , and if weaccept the meas- 

 urement given on page 285, where no mention is made of the sex for
