OBSERVATIONS. 



I observed this species to be very abundant on 

 the Southern Sea Islands of Georgia ; many spe- 

 cimens also occurred in East Florida, but I can- 

 not learn that it has ever been taken further 

 north than that state, neither does it seem to in- 

 habit the vs^estern region.

 exhibited by a line, above which is an enlarged
