was found to contain a mass of minute spores each somewhat 

 oval in form and 10 mic. in length. The entire tract from the mid 

 portion of the metathorax was filled with the spores, and by 

 counting the number in a given area, an approximation of the total 

 gave 13,500 for the number in the tract. Unfortunately the 

 fungus with which the species was in association was not collected, 

 so even the family to which it belonged cannot be noted with 

 certainty. 



It seems certain that S}anbiotes will be found widely distributed 

 in North America.
