to the Allegheny Mountains. We found it on Rhododendron flowers. 

 Mr. Dury has it from Virginia, North Carolina and Maryland. 



Note i8. — MicJifhysoma heterodoxum was found on Black Rock 

 Mountain ; first seen at about 3,000 feet elevation and abundant at 

 the top — 3,700 feet. As described by Mr. Frederick Blanchard, it 

 is usually found walking up the trunks of oaks, chestnuts and other 

 trees; and from its size, color and form, greatly resembles the large 

 black ant, Camponotus. This species again is peculiar to the region 

 previously mentioned. 



Note 19. — Cistela marginata, one specimen taken by Mr. Dury 

 near the top of Screamer Mountain. As remarked by Major Casey 

 (Col. Not., Ill, p. 166), this species is widely isolated from our 

 other species of Cistela and may have to be generically separated. 

 Mr. Dury in a letter adds: "The type is stated to be 12.5 mm. 

 long, this specimen is 14 mm. The elytra are not nearly one half 

 wider than prothorax, as stated in dimensions given for type. The 

 last joint of maxillary palpi does not agree with the form given by 

 Le Conte to separate Cistela from the other genera of the family. 

 It must be rare, as I never met with it in Kentucky or Tennessee, nor 

 have I received it in large collections made on Roan Mountain, N. C. 

 Mr. Schwarz says it is found at Washington D. C. It is remark- 

 ably active when beaten into umbrella."

On another page of this Journal Mr. Leng has given an account 

 of our visit to Clayton, Ga., in June, 1909, with particular reference 

 to the Coleoptera collected. Mr. Charles Dury in Entomological 

 News for November, 1909, has also written of the Clayton expedi- 

 tion.
