12 ENTOMOLOGICAL NEWS. [Jan., '92 



the collection should not be placed with the Academy — at least 

 from the facts now at hand. 



There is now but one insect type of Say's in the collection of 

 the Academy, a specimen of Chionobas sernidea [= Hipparchia 

 semidea Say], being the one from which the illustration (Plate 

 50) of the Americafi Entoinology was made by T. R. Peale. 

 With the specimen is this inscription: ^^ Hippajxhia semidea 

 Say, Am. Ent. v. 3, No. 5. The sp" is the one drawn for my 

 friend T. Say. 1828— T. R. Peale."— W. J. F. 



A List of the Hemiptera Hctcroptcra of the Vicinity 

 of Wood^s HoIIt Massachusetts. 



By Thos. H. Montgomery, Jr. 



University of Pennsylvania, Philadelphia. 



The following list is based upon a collection made by the 

 author from the middle of July to the middle of August, 1900. 

 All the collecting was done upon the mainland within a two- 

 mile radius of the town of Wood's Holl. Wood's Holl is situated 

 at the most southern point of the peninsula of Cape Cod, at the 

 point of union of Buzzard's Bay and Vineyard Sound. 



I am indebted to Dr. Philip R. Uhler of Baltimore and Mr. 

 Charles W. Johnson of Philadelphia for aid in the determina- 

 tion of a number of the species ; indeed, without the help of 

 these entomologists I could not have determined all the spe- 

 cies, since my own interest in the collection lay in the anatomi- 

 cal rather than the faunistic standpoint. 



The list is probably very far from being a complete one, yet 

 I believe it will be found to contain all the conmioner species 

 found during the time when the collection was made, so that 

 it may be of some value to students of the geographical distri- 

 bution of the group, particularly since to my knowledge no list 

 has been published for this region,
