Most of the sifting was done around the hases of the larger 

 trees and in the drier portions of the woods. Almost 80 per cent, of 

 the species found in such situations belonged to the Coleoptera with 

 the Staphylinidre supplying the largest number in this order. 



In Dead Stumps, under Bark, etc., in Woods.
