Dec, 1914] Funkhouser: Membracid^ from the Andes. 277 



when the locality of the camp was in the zone of heavy precipitation. 

 The specimens of membracids bear the date label March 11, 1912. 

 Mr. Lloyd's field notes for this date record the weather as being rainy 

 and cold, the rainy season having just commenced. The temperature 

 en that date was 48° at 7:30 A. M. and 58° at noon. It is interesting 

 to note that the temperature records showed an almost constant varia- 

 tion of ten degrees between the lowest and the highest temperature 

 for each day. 



The specimens from the Valle de las Papas were collected from 

 March 21 to April 3. During this time it rained almost continuously 

 and the locality was constantly submerged in heavy clouds ; the altitude 

 was 10,000 ft.
