194 PITHOEA. 



A black Tipula was running over the 

 water, and turning round like a Gyrhius or 

 Water Flea. [Cimex lacustris.) 



In the wells, the Swammerdamia of 

 Swammerdam and Lister ran about with 

 great velocity. Among these was a very 

 minute insect, which I could not ascertain. 



An Elastic us, [Elater, probably the 

 ceneus,) ot a golden black, with striated cases 

 to the wings, and geniculated antennee. 



A reddish Ccmtharis, with black anten- 

 nae, and light grey cases to the wings. 



I now entered the territory of Pithoea. 

 It rained about eleven o'clock for half an 

 hour, otherwise the day was fine. 



PITHOEA. 



June 13. 



A VERY bright and calm day. The 

 great Myrgiolingen * was flying in the 

 marshes. 



* What this word expresses I am unable to deter- 

 mine.
