ASYNTOMID FAR AWAY FROM HOME. 



I have on several occasions had specimens of both the European and 

 Oriental cockroaches sent me by fruit dealers, who had found them on 

 bunches of bananas, and there was a report of the capture of a large 

 scorpion, said to be over five inches in length, on a bunch at Spokane, 

 Wash., but the most interesting capture that I have to record is a beautiful 

 freshly-emerged specimen of Ceramidia But/eri, Moschler, which I secured 

 here last March. The specimen was sent to the U. S. Museum for identi- 

 fication, and Dr. Dyar writes me that it made a welcome addition to their 

 cabinet, and cites Guatemala and the Amazons as its habitat.
