and in part, quite sandy. We found the collecting very good in these 

 fields and spent part of several days in sweeping the weeds and grasses 

 and in beating the bushes. In the sandy portion one day Mr. Davis 

 found an Amphicoma, buzzing as it flew much like a bee. The 

 locality is much further south than any given in Dr. Horn's paper on 

 the genus, but I learn that Mr. Schwarz has found it at Round Knob, 

 N. C. The species we found resembles vidpina closely. 



In low ground near these fields we came upon a pond with a 

 growth of sedges in its shallower parts on which we found Donacia 

 suhtilis, apparently identical in every respect with our familiar Staten 

 Island Donacia of similar food plant. Mr. Davis, who captured nearly 

 all the specimens by wading in the pond, pronounced the food plant 

 a species of Sparganium. 



Podahrus protensus was caught in June, 1909, as well as in July, 

 1910; the color of the elytra is very much paler in the June specimens. 

 Photiniis marginellns var. castns Lee. is also conspicuously pale but 

 apparently not on account of immaturity. We found no darker speci- 

 mens nor did we observe any variation in color. 



Agrilus fuscipcnms, of which one specimen was found by Dr. 

 Love in 1909, was found by Mr. Davis by beating persimmon. It was 

 not abundant but what few were taken were on this tree which is 

 therefore probably its food plant. 



Mr. Davis planted a number of traps, consisting of bottles baited 

 with molasses, beer, etc., the usual " sugar " mixture and caught a 

 large number of Carabidae in that way. The number of Carahus 

 limhatiis caught by these traps was surprising, the more so as search 

 in the usual hiding places failed to disclose any. For comparison we 

 put out a few traps baited with meat and caught in that way quite a 

 different set of species, including Silphidae, Onthophagiis and Aleo- 

 charini. Of the last named we also obtained a goodly number by 

 sifting and I am indebted to Dr. A. Fenyes for their identification. 



Mr. E. A. Bischoff has also been good enough to go over all the 

 Rhyncophora we caught and his familiarity with the characters of the 

 species should ensure a high degree of accuracy in the names used. 



Our labors in sifting did not produce the number of Pselaphidae 

 that we had hoped to find. Dr. Leconte's results in the nearby 

 Nakutshi Valley were much better, but it appears that he must have 

 been there in May. There may also be a considerable difference in
