At Bluff Point, Ram Island, I took Augochlora confusa. 



On the Island of Cuttyhunk, Mass., July i8, I took the following: 

 Bomb us aniericanorum Fabr.; B. separatus Cress.: Agapostemon viridulus 

 Fabr. (larger than those from Woods Hole) ; Noviada articulata Smith 

 (one female, a variation with the anterior coxal spines reduced to mere 

 minute rudiments). 



It is interesting to note that the Bombi flying on Cuttyhunk were 

 different from those at Woods Hole. 



Megachile sapelloJiis Cockerell. 

 The northward range of this fine species is considerably extended by 

 a female which I took at Tolland, Colorado, Aug. 23, at flowers oi Cardtius 

 centaurece Rydb. This was at the altitude of about 8,900 feet. Other 

 interesting bees which may now be recorded from Tolland are : Osmia 

 armaticeps CxQss. (coll. W. P. Ckll.) ; 0. bucephala Cress, (coll. W. W- 

 Robbins) : Sielis montaiia Cress, (coll. W. P. Ckll.) ; CJielynia pulchra 

 Crawf.; Coelioxys inoesta Cress, (coll. W. P. Ckll.) ; C. ribis Ckll. 



Dr. C. Gordon Hewitt, Dominion Entomologist, was married at

 Sir Frederick and Lady Borden. Dr. Hewitt's numerous friends in 

 Canada and elsewhere unite in heartiest congratulations and all good 

 wishes for the happiness of himself and his biide.
