in September; found about grass roots at Palm Springs^ 

 and in debris along the Colorado River by Mr. Hubbard. 



Dasycerus. — Specimens of angulicollis have been 

 taken by Dr. Fenyes at Monterey, under the fungus- 

 grown bark of a decaying stump. 



Metophthalmus. — M. rwrf/s, Ojai Valley, Los Angeles, 

 and Panamint Valley; specimens were taken by me in 

 March at the former locality, occurring in the interior 

 debris of a woody fungus: trux, one specimen taken on 

 the under side of a log in a moist situation in the San

Lathridius. — Z. armatulus, a rather common species in

Coninomus. — C. constridus and C. australicus are not 

 rare in our region and probably occur nearly every-

 G. nodifer has been taken in some numbers near San 

 Francisco. 



Enicmus. — E. suspecius, Pomona; Panamint Moun- 

 tains; not common: desertus, Palm Springs and Yuma 

 (Hubbard): minutus, occurs everywhere, but is not com-
