extending to the rose pink sliglitlv granu- 

 lated iiorn. Along each side above the 

 oblique stripes and extending from the 

 head to the posterior oblique stripe is a 

 yellow band. The nature of this band is 

 the principal mark by which the larvae of 

 this species is distinguished from that of 

 5. geminatus. The practiced eye readily 

 distinguishes between the above species by 

 this band. Fore legs pink, caudal shields 

 darker green than the rest of the body. 

 Head and dorsum of next segment not 

 granulated. Spiracles yellow with a car- 

 mine areola. 



An e.vcellent beginning toward the nat- 

 ural history of our aquatic insects has just 

 been published by C. A. Hart in the bulletin 

 of the natural history laboratory of Illinois. 

 We trust it is a forecast of the work to be 

 done at the biological experiment station of 

 the University of Illinois, where Mr. Hart is 

 entomologist, and next summer's programme 

 of which has just been issued. The paper 

 is chiefly devoted to Diptera, especially 

 Tipulidae, Tabanidae and Stratiomyidae, 

 and is rendered much more useful by the 

 liberal use of keys and by excellent half- 

 tone plates.
