Stibtcrricohiis Animals. — AUhough many phuit-catcrs burrow in 

 the ground, most of them obtain their food above the ground, so that 

 the truly subterranean plant-eaters are not abundant. A short list

Predaceous am'mals, as well as plant-caters, include forms which 

 select their food within more or less narrow limits, and those which 

 exercise very little i)rcference. Pcrillus circniiiciuctits feeds upon 

 the larv.'c of Blcpharida rliois; tiger-beetles eat any small moving 

 animal. Our knowledge of the food of most of the animals is quite 

 incomplete, and therefore a division of the predaceous animals ac- 

 cording to food selection can not at present be made. 



Acricolous Predaceous Animals. — The aericolous group of the 

 predaceous animals has been restricted to those which obtain their 

 food in the air. Certain strong fliers, Macrochires, Odomita, etc., 

 are continuously on the wing. Quite frequently they ily at consid- 

 erable altitudes, and arc not inlluenced by the boundaries of local as- 

 sociations. Thcv are thus seen scattered about, .and can not be said
