island. It was dead and in a perfect condition when I 

 found it, and had it not been at considerable distance from 

 high-water mark I should have supposed that it had been 

 thrown on shore by the waves. This is the seventh instance 

 of its occurrence in this state. 



Badister nofiatus, Hald. In the spring of 1879 I captured 

 one of this species in Milton, under a stone in a rather 

 high held. The species is verj^ rare in this state and I know 

 of but one other instance of its capture here. — R. Hayivard,

CiCINDELA ANCOCISCONEXSIS (HaRR.) IN V^ERMONT. 



It may be of interest to the entomological readers of the 

 Journal to know that 1 secured an example of Ciciiidela 

 ancocisconensis at Underbill, Chittenden County, Vermont, 

 on July 28, 1881. This is, 1 believe, the first recorded in- 

 stance of its capture in the state, although there appears to 

 be no good reason why it should not be found there, as it 

 is very abundant in the White Mountains only about eighty 

 miles distant. This is still more probable since the hab- 

 itat of Cicindela ancocisconensis is quite extended, it having 

 been already recorded from New^ Hampshire, Maine, West- 

 ern Pennsylvania and Northern Illinois. — R. Hayicard.
