mology represent only specimens collected accidentally except 
those taken in the last week in August. It might be said, 
however, that ants are constant visitors to the blossoms of 
spirea and blackberry throughout the entire season. They 
are perhaps the most consistently numerous insect visitors as 
they are to be found working among the blossoms in almost 
every kind of weather except during heavy rain storms and 
even then some are stranded there. It-is likely that their 
primary object is to obtain nectar but it is by no means 
improbable that they eat pollen as well.

Probably little comment is necessary regarding the 
Hemiptera listed above. It is hkely that most of these 
should be looked upon as casual visitors, and not as forms 
which visit the flowers to obtain some portion or product of 
these for use as food. Where such a casual or accidental 
relation exists, it is apparent that quantitative data of the 
insect on the flower would not be likely to furnish a reliable 
foundation upon which to base conclusions regarding its sea-
