looked on account of the small size. Schwarz (Ms.) lists it also 

 from Crescent City, Fla. 



Anamorphus waltoni, sp. nov. — Larger and broader than 

 pusillus, the shape hemispherical rather than oval. Colour uni- 

 form pale reddish brown. Elytral punctures much finer and more 

 dense than in pusillus, the pubescence therefore thicker and more 

 evident. Characters otherwise much the same as those of pusillus. 

 Length L6 mm. 



Named in honour of L. B. Walton of Gambler, Ohio, the re- 

 cognized American authority on the Endomychidae. 



Dury's record, cited above, is as follows: "One specimen 

 July 7, taken feeding on beech log in company with Rhymhus 

 minor, which species it resembles in an astonishing manner." 



Nausibius repandus Lee. — Listed by Schwarz as very rare 

 under oak bark at Tampa. A single specimen was taken at 

 Dunedin while sweeping huckleberry and other low shrubs on 

 Jan. 29. It is a southern form, described from the District of 

 Columbia, and appears to be everywhere very scarce. 



Ino reclusa Lee. — A single specimen was beaten March 26 

 from the dead limbs of the Florida button-bush, a shrub resembling 

 the black mangrove and growing just back of the borders of the 

 latter near the middle of Hog Island. The beetle was described 

 from Columbus, Texas, and has not before been recorded from 

 Florida. It is one of the smallest (2 mm.) of Cucujids, pale brown 

 with broad head, thorax triangular, wide in front, very narrow at 

 base, and elytra covering only half of the abdomen. 



Catogenus rufus Fab. — This widely distributed species has 

 been recorded from several stations in Florida, though only six 

 examples have been taken by me during seven winters' collecting. 

 It is mentioned here only to make known its power of resisting 

 cyanide fumes. On December 15 three were found beneath the 

 bark of a pine log and placed with other specimens in a heavily 

 charged cyanide bottle. Five hours later they were all alive and 

 active, though everything else in the bottle had long before "passed 

 on." I replaced them in the bottle and left them for 24 hours, 

 when they, too, appeared to have succumbed. They were then 

 put in a pill box with proper label and date, and I was much sur-
