264 ENTOMOLOGICAL NEWS. [Oct., 'O2 



Now there's the Cossus family 



Their name might well be mud ; 

 Their parents worked in wood, you know 



The'll go down with a thud ; 

 While little Mrs. Arctia, 



Altho' she's talked about 

 Will still be in the social swim, 



When Dyar's List come out. 



There's Mrs. Thyridopteryx, 



Who owns a house you know 

 And wears it round upon her back 



(She was always fond of show) 

 She'll take a mighty tumble, 



O how the crowd will shout, 

 To see her thrown down good and hard, 



When Dyar's List conies out. 



But Mr. Luna Moth 



Who manufacturers silk, 

 Will still remain the cream 



Upon the social milk ; 

 While his couisin Polly Phemus, 



(The one so large and stout) 

 Will be a leader in her set, 



When Dyar's List comes out. 



Did you hear about Miss Psyche ? 



The saucy little minx- 

 She's the one you will remember, 



Was engaged to Mr. Sphinx ; 

 But alas for insect love-dreams 



The match ne'er'll come about 

 They'll fly in different circles, 



When Dyar's List comes out. 



And now you Human Insects 



Whether master, maid or clown, 

 You may be called on any time, 



To go " way back and sit down." 

 Don't brag about your family 



Your coat of arms, don't flout 

 You may not look like thirty cents, 



When a brand new list comes out.

PROF. AND MRS. SNYDER and their daughter Marian, together with 

 John and Hurd Comstock, have just returned from a trip through Colo- 

 rado. The party had great success, both entomologically and otherwise. 

 It will be remembered that the Professor visited Colorado two years ago 

 and had the good fortune to shoot two deer at that time. Another fell 

 by his rifle this summer which supplied the party with venison until their 

 return home. Prof. Snyder took a larger number of specimens this year 

 than he did before. The Comstock brothers have also a fine supply, and 

 have added much to their collection.
