  REPORT 
  OF 
  NEW 
  JERSEY 
  STATE 
  MUSEUM. 
  

  

  Although 
  the 
  circumstances 
  under 
  which 
  the 
  insects 
  occur 
  suggest 
  that 
  

   they 
  are 
  scavengers, 
  it 
  is 
  certain 
  that 
  some 
  and 
  perhaps 
  most 
  of 
  them 
  

   are 
  really 
  predatory, 
  feeding 
  upon 
  other 
  genuine 
  scavengers 
  that 
  occur 
  

   in 
  such 
  situations.
