LIST OF NORTH AMERICAN CICINDELIDAE IN THE HARRIS COLLECTION. 

 By Edward Doubleday Harris, Truan Press, Yonkers, New 

 York, 1911. 



The advent of the printed pin-locality-label marked a distinct ad- 

 vance in the study of entomology, as many interesting problems will 

 be solved by a study of geographical distribution and seasonal appear- 

 ance. Mr. Harris has given the student of distribution a useful guide 

 and has made his splendid collection of these beetles of use to the 

 scientific world. There are too many collections that are only a source 

 of pleasure to the owners and contain a large amount of valuable data 

 tliat may or may not become of use. The genus Cicindela is a very 

 interesting one from the standpoint of evolution and illustrates the 

 words of LeConte spoken many years ago : "The prevailing character 

 of tropical faunas is individuality, the production of peculiar forms 

 within limited regions, while the distinguishing feature of temper- 

 ate and Arctic faunas is the repetition of similar or identical forms 

 through extensive localities." The Coleopterists have been prone to 

 poke fun at the Lepidopterists, alleging lack of anatomical characters 

 ir descriptive work, and undue reliance on color. A careful study of 

 specific values in the Cicindelidae will show some surprising things, 

 and I am afraid, in some instances, the best method of determining 

 species is to rely on the locality label. This work by Mr. Harris will 

 be found very useful to the systematist, and the student of distribu- 

 tion and geographical variation. H. S.
