Of the Coleopterous enemies, the Coceinellidw were by far the most 
industrious. Of this family probably Coccinella 9-notata, with its larvee, 
was the most abundant and generally distributed species. 
In a field of newly harvested grain, in La Grange County, within a 
radius of 3 feet from where I was standing at the time, fifteen individ- 
uals were counted, crawling about among the stubble. Hippodamia 
parenthesis followed next, in point of numbers, H. conrergens, H. 13- 
punctata and H. glacialis being also found in quite large numbers in 
various localities. Megilla maculata was scarcely noticed at all, and 
Anatis 15-punctata but once. 
Podabrus tomentosus was exceedingly useful in some portions of the 
State, while Telephorus carolinus was often quite numerous in the fields 
of the central part of the State.
