In connection with the preceding list it may be interesting to note that the season 

 was a very dry one, there being hardly enough rain, except on one occasion, to thor- 

 oughly wet the canvas of our tent in the Walnut creek canon during a stay of five 

 weeks. The bed of the creek was dry for long distances. Collecting "at sugar" was 

 rewarded by very indifferent success. Some fine beetles and moths were taken "at 

 light," by making huge fires of pitch-pine logs. Among these were Plusiotis gloriosa, 

 Plusiotis Lecontei, Orizalms Snowi, Strategics cessus, Aphonics clunalis, and Cyclocephala manca. 

 Lachnostema longipilis was taken at dusk while flying about the foliage of the live-oaks. 

 The only specimen taken of Chcdcolepidius Webbii was a large female resting upon an 

 old pine stump. The electric lights at Silver ( ity were very attractive to insects. Here 

 were taken Sphinx Elsa, Halisidota pura, Smerinthus occidentalism magnificent Daritis, 

 Dynastes Grantii, and other line species of both Lepidoptera and Coleoptera. Dendrobias 

 qiiadriiiKiciiliitiis, Clerus Spinobr, and Macrobasis ochrea were found abundantly upon the 

 blossoms of the tall species of yucca in the vicinity of Deming and Silver City.
