nette, Pa., was originally in iny possession and is from Green 

 Ridge Mo. Am of the opinion this species does not occur in 

 southwestern Pennsylvania. 



C. viduus Dej. 



I have apparently been more fortunate than most collectors in 

 the capture of this species, yet all were taken in a small, re- 

 stricted locality at Baldwin's station. 



Several specimens have often been found very close together, as 

 many as four at one time under a stone about one foot in di- 

 ameter. It has often been a great pleasure to me to hold this 

 beautiful insect in my hand and admire its graceful form. 

 Though I have had as many as three specimens in my hands at 

 one time, it does not always happen that success rewards a 

 search for this species, having many times turned over so many 

 stones, logs, sticks and bark that my back felt broken from the 

 exertion; on glancing backward over the route followed in the 

 vain search, it looked as if it had been struck by a cyclone 

 [ have held a live Cychrus vidttus in mv hand whose head was 

 imbedded in the mouth of a shell of the large land snail, who 

 was so intent on his occupation that transferring my hold from 

 him to the shell and letting him hang suspended did not inter- 

 fere with him in the least ; he seemed so absorbed in the pro- 

 cess of feeding that continual maneuvering in this manner 

 failed to distract his attention from his prey. 

 The species is found here from April until the end of September.

Tliis species is so rare that it is represented in but few collec- 

 tions 



Prof. Jerome Schmitt,of St. Vincent, Pa., has a fine pair re- 

 ceived some years ago from North Carolina. 

 As for as recorded, this species occurs only in the mountain re- 

 gions of that State. (A note concerning the above record will 

 be published in the September number.) 



C ridingsii Bland . 



This very pretty little species, in appearance so much like a 

 diminutive C. andreiesii, has only been found at Uuiontown 

 ami Cressou, Pa., proving it to be a strictly mountain species, 

 as is the case with C. cn<nh iixix. 



C. andrewsii llarr. 



The species is found here, though not so restricted as ( '. riihmx, 

 nor found as often, yet the habits are similar. 

 This has only been taken from June 28th to September 14th and 

 does not SI.TIII to cover as lono- a perion as C. riditux. 

 In looking for (.'i/c/irms, I find wherever land ~nails are abun- 

 dant, some one of the species will be found. 

 r//c///v/x should always besought after in damp, shady and 

 stouyplace*. During mv collecting experience of twenty years, 

 have never found anv species but (.'. Icconlci hibernating.
