Data Wanted on Migrations of the Cotton Worm Moth (Lep.). 



Prof. John H. Gerould, Dartmouth College, Hanover, New Hamp- 

 shire, desires data bearing on the appearance of swarms of Alabama 

 argillacca in the Northern States. He has recently reported such a 

 phenomenon which occurred at Hanover on October 12, 1912, and 

 correlated it with records of this species at other localities, and with 

 prevailing weather conditions, in an article to appear in Science. 



A mite parasitic on the Musk Rat. (Arachnida, Acarina). 



Last year Messrs. M. Printz and L. I. Miller found specimens of a 

 remarkable mite on a musk rat (Fiber zibcthicus cinnamominus Hollis- 

 ter) on the Brighton road in Adams County, Colorado. I determined 

 it as Laelaps multispinosus Banks, and this identification was later con- 

 firmed by Mr. Banks. The species was described from Canada, and is 

 new to the United States. T. D. A. COCKERELL, Boulder, Colorado. 



Entomological Literature. 



COMPILED BY E. T. CRESSON, JR., AND J. A. G. REHN. 



Under the above head it is intended to note papers received at the 

 Academy of Natural Sciences, of Philadelphia, pertaining to the En- 

 tomology of the Americas (North and South), including- Arachnida and 

 Myriopoda. Articles irrelevant to American entomology will not be noted; 

 but contributions to anatomy, physiology and embryology of insects, how- 

 ever, whether relating to American or exotic species, will be recorded. 

 The numbers in Heavy- Faced Type refer to the journals, as numbered in 

 the following list, in which the papers are published. 



All continued papers, with few exceptions, are recorded only at their 

 first installments. 



The records of systematic papers are all grouped at the end of each 

 Order of which they treat, and are separated from the rest by a dash. 



Unless mentioned in the title, the number of new species or forms are 

 given at end of title, within brackets.
