THE CANADIAN ENTOMOLOGIST. 23 



attention at least can frequently be given to occurrences none the less 

 worthy of record. My practice of keeping on the lookout for all kinds of 

 insects or their work has led to some important economic discoveries, but 

 my present paper is prepared with the object of bringing together some 

 miscellaneous results for reference. 



In several instances my specimens were submitted through Dr. L. O. 

 Howard to experts in the Bureau, and his prompt attention and courtesy 

 in furnishing reports of their determinations have greatly aided me. Each 

 authority is given credit for such helpful assistance. 



INSECTS TAKEN IN DRY COTTON BOLLS. 

 While making search for hibernated cotton-boll weevils, AiithoJiomus 

 grandis Boh., other insects and a few myriapods have been taken under 

 the same conditions, but not all of the specimens thus obtained have been 

 specifically determined. However, the results of my collecting in two 

 lower Red River localities of Louisiana may throw light upon the winter 

 habits of certain species, as follows. 



Old cotton bolls collected at Alexandria, La., February 26 and 27 

 1909, harbored tha forms here listed in addition to the boll weevil.

MYRIAPODA. 



A few myriapods were found in rotten bolls on the ground. Their 

 partial identifications by Mr. Nathan Banks areas follows: "The myriapods 

 belong to three different genera, one near Folydesmus, one near Julus^
