could be accomplished by careful work along that line ; the 



insects of other orders have not been fully identified, but were 



k-\v in species and for the most part inconspicuous. A little 



Lycaenid was the only butterfly seen, while the only bee was 



Oxybelus emarginatus Say. The ants were represented by Cam- 



ponotus tortuganus Em., Tetramorium ccespitiim Linn., T. 



girineense Fabr. and Pheidole megacephala Fabr. Among the 



Hemiptera we have Murgantia histrionica Hahn., which was very 



common in one or two spots, Chlorocoris loxopa Uhler, Gonia- 



notus marginipundatus Wolff and Pangceus bilineatus Say. Only 



a few species of Orthoptera were found, none of which are yet 



identified. They are mostly immature individuals taken by 



beating, though one is an Acridiid of considerable size. The 



above identifications are the work of Messrs. Ashmead, Heide- 



mann and Pergande ; those of the beetles, which follow, are due 



to Dr. Horn, Mr. Schwarz and the writer, and the list includes 



all the species found, which, while few in number, represent 



twenty families. They are : 



Selenophorus pedicularius Dejean. 



Homalota sp. 



Cafius bistriatus Er. Along the beach under sea- weed. 



Cafius sericeus Holme (?). With the preceding, less common. 



Cafius (?) sp. One specimen. 



Bledius basalts Lee. 



Briaraxis depressa Brend. Under rubbish on the beach. So 

 far as known this is confined to these Keys. 



Actinopteryx fucicola Allib. Under sea- weed on beach. 



Psyllobora nana Muls. Not uncommon on bushes ; found also 

 at Key West and in the West Indies. 



Scymmis bivulnerus Horn. With the preceding. 



Symbiotes (?) sp. Found on the vessel while anchored here. 

 Mr. Schwarz writes that it agrees well with descriptions and 

 1 1^1 ires of vS". pygmccus. 



Corticaria sp. indet. Beaten from bushes, common through- 

 out South Florida. 



Saprinus ferrugineus Mars. Very common under the cara- 

 paces of two turtles which we laid out to dry. 



Pseudebcsus oblitus Lee. Common on bushes on Loggerhead 

 Key. 



Necrobia rufipes Fabr.
