which are liable to infest the tank when feeding live 

 food are hydras, which in a very short time will de- 

 stroy a whole brood, and it is very difficult to rid a 

 tank of this pest. 



Lalius will breed three or four and even more 

 times during a season, the first broods always being 

 more numerous and stronger than the later ones, but 

 it is good policy not to let the fish breed too often, 

 as the drain on their vitality may be too much and 

 prove fatal.

AMBLYSTOMA TIGRINUM ON LONG 

 ISLAND, I. 



After many years of futile search for Ambly- 

 stoma tigrinum on Long Island, the past season has 

 been unexpectedly productive in furnishing records 

 of both adults and larvae of this species. 



Records of Adults. 



"Rancocas," the first and apparently specific rec- 

 ord by William L. Sherwood (Linn. Soc. 1894-95, 

 No. 7), is a misprint as no such place exists on Long

 the occurrence of the species he prefers to withhold 

 the right name of the station, fearing extermination.
