152 THE AMERICAN MUSEUM JOURNAL 



The department of in\ertebrate zoology is engaged in a survey of the 

 insect fauna of Florida with especial reference to its origin and present dis- 

 tribution. A number of entomologists are generously assisting both by 

 field work and identification. In this connection IVIr. John A. Grossbeck 

 of the Museum and Mr. William T. Da\'is of Staten Island will spend April 

 and early ]\Iay chiefly in the southwestern portion of the state. 



Mr. Max Schrabisch of Paterson, New Jersey, has filed a report of 

 his recent work for the Museum in explorations among New Jersey rock- 

 shelters. During the past season he found six shelters showing definite 

 traces of ha\ing been occupied by man. Altogether this enthusiastic 

 archaeologist has located, excavated and mapped twenty-three such shelters. 



The department of mineralogy has received a large californite of gem 

 quality through an exchange with Mr. F. A. Canfield.of Dover, New Jersey.
