E. vinetorum was plentiful and the sound of the vibrations of their 

 wings could be heard on every hand when one entered a patch of 

 flowers. 



The Tachina flies were quite plentiful in individuals but the 

 number of species was rather limited. Beskia aelops was the most 

 interesting to me of all these flies taken, as I had never seen it be- 

 fore and it is rather attractive when on the wing. All the other 

 Tachinids given below were procured in numbers and the widely 

 distributed Archytas analis could be seen on every hand. 



The earwig I have identified as Labidura riparia was abundant 

 at one spot but I saw it no where else. Under a board that lay 

 near where I often passed I observed a large number of specimens 

 in various stages of development. They had burrows into the 

 ground beneath the board but seemed to leave these at times and 

 crawl some distance away. 



One of the most interesting Hemipterons to me is the one called 

 Tinobregmus vittatus. It is a large species of the family Jassidae 

 and appears to have selected as its food-plant the common woody 

 composite that seems to agree with the description of Iva frutes- 

 cens. Professor Osborn has treated this insect in the November 

 number of the current volume of The Ohio Naturalist.
