Insects in Cord Wood. (Country Gentleman, for November 14, 1889, 

 liv, p. 862, c. 3 — 10 cm.) 



Sounds from wood stored in a dry cellar, can not, as supposed, be 

 from worms or spiders, nor can the noise, as described, be caused by 

 insect burrowers. From the statement as made, no satisfactory 

 explanation can be offered. 



A Horn-Tail and its Enemies. (Country Gentleman, for November 21, 

 1889, liv, p. 881, c. 2, 3 — 23 cm.) 



A horn-tail, received from Flanders, N. J., within its burrow in a piece 

 of maple, is Tremex coluiuba (Linn.). The characteristic features of the 

 insect, and of the burrow inclosing it, are given, with remarks on the 

 parasitism to which it is subject, as suggested by a portion of the 

 ovipositor of its natural enemy, Thalessa, which has been broken off and 

 is imbedded within the block of maple.
