o'clock, only occasional stragglers were seen during the remainder 

 of the afternoon. These, like the ones that preceded them, were 

 headed in a southward direction. — Raymond C. Osburn. 



Florida Carabidse. — Mr. H. P. Loding has called attention to the 

 failure to mention in my " Carabidae of Florida " the occurrence in 

 Alabama of the following Floridian species, viz : Pasimachus suhsul- 

 catus, Ardistomis puncticollis, Cymindis elegans, Tachys columbien- 

 sis, T. ventricosiis, L'oxandrus celeris and Olisthopus parmatus. He 

 also mentions Bradyccllus neglectiis as an Alabama species and there- 

 fore somewhat liable to occur in Florida. Since southern Alabama 

 and northern Florida are practically a continuous region these omis- 

 sions should be corrected by those using the list. — C. W. Leng. 



Florida Beetles. — I found about thirty specimens of Dicaclus quad- 

 ratiis, noted as rare in Leng's " List of the Carabidce of Florida," at 

 Detroit, the last station this side of Key West, from the i6th to the 

 2ist of May,, 1915. I had never taken it before, though I have done 

 considerable collecting in Florida. Euphoria limbalis Fall was also 

 rather plentiful at Detroit. At Enterprise in 1910 I took a single 

 specimen of Chlccniiis maxillosus on May 10, as well as quite a num- 

 ber of two other species, floridanus and circiimcinctus, but this year 

 the Chlseniini were quite scarce. — D. M. Castle. 



Snout Beetles on Holly Bloom. — While visiting recently with Mr. 

 H. W. Wenzel in Philadelphia, he gave me among other rarities two 

 small snout beetles, Xanthus pygmccus and Anthonomus latinscuhis, 

 taken late in May on the flowers of Holly at Anglesea. This oft- 

 quoted locality is rapidly becoming too civilized for good collecting ; 

 but those of our readers who have holly trees near them, may secure 

 these species by examining the trees when in bloom. — C. W. Leng. 



Additional records of the Deer Bot-fly Cephenomyia abdominalis. — 

 This species was described by Prof. Aldrich in the June, 191 5, num- 

 ber of this journal from three males collected on White Face Moun- 

 tain in the Adirondacks, New York, July 6 and 10, 1914. In looking 

 over my Diptera I have found two additional specimens, kindly pre- 

 sented to me by their collector, Mr. Frank E. Watson. One is labeled 

 " Summit of Mt. Marcey, N. Y., 5,344 ft., July 3, 1913," and the other, 

 simply "North Elba, N. Y., July, 1913." This last, however, may have 

 been collected on one of the mountains ascended by Mr. Watson. 

 These five specimens are so far the only ones reported of this rather
