XOTF. BY HENRY SKINNER. 



In addition to being an ornithologist, mammalogist and botan- 

 ist. Dr. Stone is a naturalist and takes a keen interest in all 

 living things. Some of the butterflies collected are of special 

 interest. Mclitaca cyncas is not common in collections. It has 

 been recorded in the Biologia Ccn trail- Americana from Oaxaca, 

 Mexico. Mclitaca thcona is another species better known from 

 farther south. Limcnitis wcidcnicvcri ani/nstifascia is an inter- 

 esting race, the types having been taken in the White Moun- 

 tains of Arizona. So far as I am aware, Ncophasia tcrlooti 

 has not before been taken in the United States except in the 

 Huachuca Mountains. The specimen of Tcrias damaris taken 

 by Dr. Stone is the first one I have seen from the United 

 States. Exact records, with date of capture, are becoming 

 very important in the study of specific values and our concep- 

 tion of some of the older work is gradually changing. Every 

 year we are learning more about the species of our western 

 country. It was hardly possible in the past to form much of 

 an opinion of a- single specimen with only a State label. 



The Maggot of the Guava in Costa Rica (Dipt., Trypetidae). 



Senor C. Picado C., author of the valuable study on the epiphytic 

 Bromeliaceae considered as a biological medium (1913) has reccntlv 

 worked out the life-history of the maggot which infests the guava 

 fruit ( /'si, Until </ua:u I..). His result-* appear in the I'nl'Hctii'ion-x del 

 Co/cilia dc Scii'iritus. of San Jose, Costa K'ica, Serif V /'studios C'n'n- 

 ///ivi'.v. Xo. 2, l ( J2(i, entitled "Historia del Gusano dc la Gnayaba." The 

 -"I is the larva of Anastrepha s!rlata Schiner, as determined by 

 Professor Bex/i. Its structure, both external and internal, and that of 

 its parasite, f^iaclidsuid cnr^-fonli n. sp. ( Braci midae i . are de-cribed 

 and figured in detail and methods of control are considered. It is an 

 interesting and valuable piece of research which, we hope, will be 

 followed by others frorn the ,-ame pen.
