log yields a few small beetles of the family Hister- 

 idae, and its stump, when the loose bark is pulled 

 away, reveals a number of large wingless cock- 

 roaches, most of which were dead, probably from 

 the effects of the recent frost. They are afterwards 

 identified as Eurycotis ingens 

 Scudder the largest and most 

 ill-smelling blattid I have ever 

 collected. Two scorpions, a num- 

 ber of minute pseudo-scorpions, 

 Chelifer muricatus Say, and sev- 

 eral examples of an earwig, 

 Labia burgessi Scudd., are se- 

 cured beneath the bark of the 

 same stump. 



The young of a very slender 

 bodied brown grasshopper, Rha- 

 dinotatum brevipenne Thos., are found to be frequent 

 on the scattering sedges and grasses in such small 

 open places as are bare of the saw palmetto. 

 A single butterfly, flitting along the road close 

 to the ground, is netted and found to be an old ac- 

 quaintance, Eudamus pylades Scudder, the dusky 

 wing. With the exception of six or seven small hya- 

 line white spots arranged in three groups on each 

 fore-wing, it is a uniform dark brown in color. The 

 antennae are spindle-shaped, with the apical half more 

 slender and bent abruptly downward. The wing ex- 

 panse is one and a half inches. It is quite common
