but they generally represent more or less distinct physiographicai regions. 

 For the sake of convenience these areas will be referred to in the course 

 of this report by the following letters: 



Station A, that part of East Hill in the city of Ithaca east of Linn 

 Street, including the old city cemetery and the steep banks west of the 

 gun works, the university campus, and the territory directly eastward. 

 Part of this area is thickly covered with small locust trees, and in and 

 around the cemetery and the campus are a considerable number of culti- 

 vated shrubs. This is an excellent station and from it have been collected 

 large numbers of Thelia himaculata, Vanduzea arquata, Enchenopa binotata, 

 most species of the genus Ceresa, and occasionally Archasia Belfragei, 

 Smilia camelus, and Stictocephala lutea. 



Station B, the hills east of Renwick and southeastward to Cornell and 

 Cayuga Heights. These hills are densely wooded near the lake and more 

 open eastward. The wooded parts contain principally locust and oak. 

 The open spots, particularly the abandoned street-railway road, are 

 overgrown with sweet clover and goldenrod. Along the roadsides con- 

 siderable black elder occurs. This is one of the richest stations in the basin, 

 and yields Cere.'^a diceros, Vanduzea arquata, Thelia himaculata, Enchenopa 

 binotata, and a number of species of Cyrtolobus, especially C. vau, in great 

 abundance. 



Station C, the hills on the east side of the lake extending from McKinneys 

 to Portland. Scattered woods, cultivated fields, pastures, and neglected 

 roadsides make up this station. The section supports hickory, pignut, 

 maples, and small oaks, scattered growths of blackberry and raspberr}'^, 

 and some cultivated fruits. It is a good station for various species of 

 Ophiderma and one or two of the rarer forms of Ceresa. 



Station D, the region around Rogues Harbor and northward. This 

 section consists of rolling farm lands, orchards, and pastures. Fruit 

 trees have yielded considerable membracid material, and during certain 

 seasons timothy, clover, alfalfa, and buckwheat fields have proved good 

 collecting grounds. Scattered areas of goldenrod. New England aster, 

 joe-pye weed, and sweet clover are found along roadsides and fences. 

 In this station have been collected a large number of the local species of 

 the genus Telamona, and most of the grass-inhabiting forms such as 

 Stictocephala inerinis, Campylenchia latipes, and Ceresa bubalus.
