 Charles Dury, Dr. E. G. Love and the writer collected the species

 Dozier's Hotel, Clayton, Rabun Co., Ga. Clayton stands at an 

 elevation of 2,000 ft. in a valley traversed by a small river and 

 surrounded by mountains. Our collections were made partly in the 

 immediate vicinity of the village, but principally on either Black 

 Rock or Screamer Mt., each about three miles from the village and 

 each about 3,700 feet high. We also visited the deep forests about 

 Tuckalege Creek, six miles east, and Wilson's Gap, ten miles north. 

 The largest number of Cychrus came from the place last named. 

 All these localities are in Rabun County, which is one of the northern 

 tier, and its mountains are quite similar to those of the adjoining 

 states, Tennessee and North Carolina, though they do not reach 

 the elevations attained by the mountains of the latter. 



Extreme precipitation, the greatest known in eastern America, 

 manifested during our stay by heavy thunder storms almost every 

 afternoon, combined with the warm climate of its latitude, are fac- 

 tors that influence the flora and fauna of the region. In addition,
