Typical brevipemie and the south Floridian race b. peninsulare 

 were thoroughly compared by Rehn and Heljard in 1912. 

 Blatchley, in the last paper referred to above, refuses to recog- 

 nize the southern race of this species. He (piotes our statement 

 that "Lakeland indivi(hials are absolutely intermediate," and 

 that "In central Florida tiie species (i. e., l)y inf(u-(Mice the 

 typical race) intergrades with its geographic race R. brevipenne 

 peninsulare" as proof of our error. Appai'ently he do(^s not 

 realize that an area of intergradalion li(>s between the geograi:)hic 

 races of a species, uidess the lalter be insular or has in some 

 other manner been completely sc^parated from tlie parent stock. 

 We reiterate that Lakeland material is intermediate; that 



"The Miami female shoukl have been referred (o R. b. peninsulare. 

 " I'robably intermediate between h. brvviptunv and b. peninsulare.
