dilates cliez les males'. I must decline to inimii the tniili of the abo\c 

 as a quotation of my opinion. In the Trans. Am. I'.nt. Sue, 1876, p. 

 236, the followin'j^ occurs, "In every other se.xual character /?/7)wc>c7v/r//.s 

 does not differ from Cicinkla.' The only point in which Dromochorus 

 differs from the mjnrity 0/ Cicintkl is — the middle til)iai are verv (inelv 

 pubescent in both se.xes. the males not having the tuft of erect hairsalong 

 the ouier edge This is however, a character of no value, except specif- 

 ically, as several other CicinileUie {■■i f'/)*ii ce/en'pjs an.l c rcumficla) are in 

 various ways aberrant from the accepted typical form. 



The reversal of the names adopteil by Dr. LeConie bv M. Salle (.Ann. 

 Fr. Bull. 1877, p 7), seems to require confirmati(3n by an examination of 

 Guerin*s type which isuow in the possession of. Mr. Kdw. }aii-on ot London. 



No Cdmmenls requiring notice have been made on Omus (tr Tt;- 

 Iraclhi and the genus Cicindeia has not been reacheil, but it is ti> be 

 hopetl that the work will get nearer its completion than diil the Mon- 

 ograph of Tliompson so beautifully bjgun in 1859.
