MISCELLANEOUS NOTES ON COLLECTING IN 

 GEORGIA.^ 



By Wm. T. Davis, 



New Brighton, Statex Island, N. Y. 



As Mr. Charles W. Leng and I visited Clayton. Ga.. in 1910, about 

 a month later than in 1909, we had the pleasure of getting better ac- 

 quainted with some of the resident species of Cicadas, known quite 

 appropriately as "jar" or "July flies" by the natives. Cicada sayi 

 was quite common about the town and in all the cultivated tracts that 

 we visited. Teftigca hicroglypluca was still singing, but confined 

 more to the woodland, and a third species resembling Cicada lyricen, 

 which has since been named Cicada cngcUiardti, was found only in 

 the woodland. Attracted by the songs of this insect, we could with a 

 powerful glass see them in the trees, and note the black thorax with 

 prominent central fulvous spot. The distribution of Cicadas will yet 

 become as interesting a study as that of tiger beetles. Why Cicada 

 sayi should occur in considerable numbers about Clayton, Ga., and 

 be absent from parts of New Jersey, where it is generally quite com- 

 mon, is an interesting fact worthy of consideration. 



Though we collected the same species of tiger beetles as we did 

 in 1909, they were not as numerous, owing to the lateness of the 

 season. The exception to this was Cicindela nnipuncfata, which was 

 quite plentifully distributed in the woods and along the wood paths. 

 The individuals that we have seen at Plainfield, Lakewood and Lake- 

 hurst in New Jersey, did not fly when disturbed, but at Clayton they 

 flew almost as well as the other native species. The most interesting 

 Cicindela observation was made on July 25, on the trail leading along 

 Tuckoluge Creek, where I saw a male Cicindela sexguttata apparently
