Chrysomela 10-lineata on Long Island. On May 25, 1875, I 

 captured a specimen of Chrysomela 10-lineata Say, or Colorado Potato- 

 beetle, at Bay Ridge, L. I., and a few days afterward received a number 

 from a friend, taken near Fort Hamilton, L. I. Thinking a notice of its 

 appearance among us would be interesting to some of the readers of 

 your valuable little publication, I have taken the liberty of sending you this 

 note. — John Akhurst, Brooklyn, N. Y., June 4, 1875.
