Doings of Societies. 



At the meeting of the Feldman Collecting Social, Prof. J. B. 

 Smith described the habits of the larva of Cicindela generosa. 

 Their burrows extend from 15 inches to 2 and 3 feet into the 

 ground, and is a long, goose-necked affair opening into a pit, 

 which serves as a trap for their prey. 



Mr. Wenzel said that the larvae of C. dorsalis tunnels a straight 

 burrow.
