 green form of larger size considered by Dr. Horn as a var. of this 

 spegies occurred at a considerable elevation on Mt. Washington on 

 a freshly peeled Fir or White Spruce {A. balsaniea or alba). 



26. M. fulvoguttaia, Harr. — Only a few specimen seen.- One was taken 



on a Hemlock log which was riddled with holes corresponding in 

 size with this species in N. H. I have a specimen from a section 

 of North Carolina, where Hemlocks are abundant, but where there 

 are no Spruces or Firs. Harris' Ins, Inj., says he has taken it from 

 the trunks of the White Pine. Possibly it was in the vicinity of 

 Hemlocks.

June to August. 

 4C. C. azurea, Lee. — Three specimens, June and Jul}- on Sumac {Rhus 

 glabra). In Extomoi.ogica, Vol. II, p. 231, this species is men- 

 tioned as having been found in numbers on a species of Dogwood. 

 Besides the species of Cortius, Rhus toxicodendron is also called 

 Dogwood here. The occurrence of the three specimens mentioned 

 is of course bv no means conclusive evidence.
