Note i. — Cicindela iinipiincfata was the most abundant and 

 widely distributed tiger beetle. It was found on every mountain; on 

 Brasstown Bald Mr. Dury found it by hundreds. Mr. Davis ob- 

 served that this species was able to fly, though not for great dis- 

 tances. 



Note 2. — Cicindela tranqneharica varies greatly according to its 

 habitat. In Louisiana and other southern states, as far as I have 

 observed, it is smaller than the northern forms and never metallic or 

 brilliantly colored. The few specimens found in Georgia were of 

 this small dark form, which has been called minor by Mr. Edw. 

 D. Harris. 



Note 3. — Cychrus bicarinatus was abundant under the bark of 

 fallen trees and in the rotten wood, occasionally also under stones, 

 logs, etc. Twelve were found in one tree. In a few of the fifty 

 or more examined, three complete carinse are included in the elytra! 

 sculpture ; in most there are two complete carinse as in the type 

 (which came from northern Georgia) ; in a few specimens, one of 

 the carinas is broken into oblong tubercles. In all the sides of the 

 elytra are parallel and there is no approach to the more rounded 

 form of lecontei, of which this species has been regarded as a variety. 

 C. bicarinatus, like others to be mentioned below, occurs in northern 

 Georgia, western North Carolina and eastern Tennessee, or the 

 southern extension of the Allegheny Mountains. 



Note 4. — Cychrus andrczvsi occurs in the same region. The 

 specimens we found are identical with those found by Mr. Beuten- 

 muller in the Black Mountains of North Carolina, and differ in many 

 respects from the Cychrus found in western Pennsylvania, West 

 Virginia, Ohio and Indiana, which have long been called andrewsi, 

 but are identified as Germari Chaud. in Roeschke's recent monograph. 



Note 5. — Nomarcius dcbilis was found at the top of Black Rock 

 Mountain by sifting the deep masses of leaves. It is confined to 

 the region mentioned in note 3. 



Note 6. — Anillus fortis, a very tiny beetle, was also found by 

 sifting on Black Rock Mountain. It occurs in Ohio and Indiana, 

 as well as in these mountains, as I am told by Mr. Dury.
