oped from them. These larvae became full-grown and went into 

 the earth to pupate during the last ten days in June and the first 

 days in July. They reached the period of general pupation 

 about the first of August, and the single moth which I reared 

 emerged on October 6th. 



Full-grown larva. Length, 29 mm. General color of body light 

 chocolate-brown. Head light yellowish brown and faintly mottled. Tip 

 of mandibles black. A whitish stripe runs the entire length of the 

 body from just back of the head to the anal proleg on each side, 

 passing just below the spiracles and partially including some of them. 

 Occiput of head and collar with an inconspicuous median longitudinal 

 whitish line. A slight dark median shading runs the entire length 

 of the body from just behind the collar. There are also two pairs of 

 inconspicuous dark spots on the dorsum of each of the abdominal 

 segments, the two spots of the posterior pair being placed farther apart 

 than those of the anterior pair. 



Pupa. Length, 17 mm. Color, light brown. Surface smooth, not 

 punctate. Cremaster consisting of several (about four) straight sharp 

 spines. 



NEW JERSEY is a place where any genus or species of insect may be 

 found by those who have sufficient faith, and in addition to that it has 

 a wonderful extinct animal. Mr. Rockefeller was very anxious to 

 secure a specimen of the great Hadrosaurus foulki, fifty feet high, 

 a specimen of which had been found in a marl pit. The Professor of 

 Palaeontology of the University of Chicago was sent out to secure a 

 specimen. While crossing the dangerous pine barrens and in ascend- 

 ing a sand dune he severely sprained his ankle. Great was the con- 

 sternation when he did not get back at the appointed time. The Presi- 

 dent of the University telegraphed to the Governor of Illinois, the latter 

 communicated with the Governor of New Jersey, who 'phoned to New 

 Brunswick and at once ordered the State Entomologist to send out a 

 relief expedition. It arrived just in time. The learned Professor was 

 on his back, nearly exhausted, with the left femur of a Hadrosaurus, 

 five feet long, grasped in his right hand. Swinging this in the air he 

 was beating off to save his life, clouds of Coclodiazcsis, Cyclolcpidop- 

 teron, Lutzia, Ccratocystia, Pneumaculex, Panoplitcs, Dcinoccritcs, 

 Ochlcrotatus, Cniicclsa, Pseudoculcx, Culiscta, Culicclla, Mclanoconinni, 

 Mochlostryax, Sabcthoides, Lesticocampa and Aldiborontifoscofoniitin. 



A Jerseyman, a member of the rescuers, said the poor man nearly 

 lost his life from a joblotia of mosquitoes.* Newspaper.
