246 THE CANADIAN ENTOMOLOGIST. 



Colorado Beetle, and forms the best remedy. They are so wary that it is 

 almost enough to clear the plants if one walks between the rows so that 

 one's shadow falls on them. They may be seen dropping to the ground 

 in a shower. 



Though these three species are so abundant here, I have not seen a 

 specimen of the fourth member of the group, the Ash-grey Blister-beetle 

 (L. cinerea), this summer, and a row of English Eroad Windsor Beans 

 which I planted as an experiment were quite untouched by them. The 

 late Mr. Walsh says he never could grow these beans at Rock Island, 111., 

 because of the swarms of Ash-grey Blister-beetles which ate them up. My 

 Broad beans were, however, badly injured by numbers of a small black 

 hopping beetle, the name of which I do not know, but which treated their 

 leaves exactly as the Turnip Flea Beetle treats the seed leaves of the 

 young turnips. It was, however, much larger. 



Not to paint the Black Blister-beetle any blacker than is just right, I 

 must add that I not long ago found a swarm of them devouring the 

 flowers of the great Rag-weed (Ambrosia trifida). One of them, which 

 I watched for some time, cleaned the whole of the flowers from one of the 

 involucres of the raceme in a few seconds.
