his experimental station near Los Angeles. A long paper on 
experiments with Junonia cenia is in the July Bulletin of the 
Southern California Academy of Sciences. 
Mr. Victor L. Clemence, of Pasadena, on a trip to Mt. Wilson 
in early August, collected a series of the interesting Lycena 
neurona Skinner, of which something further will be said con- 
cerning the dimorphism or non-dimorphism. 
Dr. Frank C. Clark, of Los Angeles, spent his vacation in the 
San Bernardino mountains, and collected a great quantity of 
insects of all orders, mostly Hymenoptera; including some inter- 
esting Mutillide and stylopized wasps.

‘*An insect much resembling the June bug, and found in great 
quantities in the high plains about Quito, the capital of Ecuador, 
is toasted and eaten as a delicacy by the natives of that country. 
They are sold in the streets in the same manner as are chestnuts 
in the cities of this country. The roasted bugs taste very much 
like toasted bread.’’—The San Francisco Argonaut, April 26, 
1913. 
Prof. C. F. Baker, former editor of the Journal, now of the 
University of the Philippines, has an interesting article in the 
Philippine Journal of Science, April, 1913, entitled: ‘‘A Study 
of Caprification in Ficus Nota.’’ He gives, first, an account of 
the marvelous symbiotic relations of the fig-insects and the figs, 
and their guests and parasites. He describes a new Blastophaga 
nota, anew genus Agaonella larvalis n. sp., and five other new 
species in other genera, and a synopsis. The paper is illustrated 
by drawings of different structures; and is a valuable addition to 
the extensive literature of the subject.
