could be accomplished by careful work along that line ; the 

 insects of other orders have not been fully identified, but were 

 few in species and for the most part inconspicuous. A little 

 Lycaenid was the only butterfly seen, while the only bee was 

 Oxybelus emarginatus Say. The ants were represented by Cam- 

 ponotus tortuganus' Em., Tetramorium ccBSpitum Linn., T. 

 guineense Fabr. and Pheidole megacephala Fabr. Among the 

 Hemiptera we have Murgantia histrionica Hahn. , which was very 

 common in one or two spots, Chlorocoris loxopa Uhler, Gonia- 

 notus marginipundatus Wolff and Pangaus bilineatus Say. Only 

 a few species of Orthoptera were found, none of which are yet 

 identified. They are mostly immature individuals taken by 

 beating, though one is an Acridiid of considerable size. The 

 above identifications are the work of Messrs. Ashmead, Heide- 

 mann and Pergande ; those of the beetles, which follow, are due 

 to Dr. Horn, Mr. Schwarz and the writer, and the list includes 

 all the species found, which, while few in number, represent 

 twenty families. They are : 



Selenophorus pedicularius Dejean. 



Homalota sp. 



Cafius bistriatics Er. — Along the beach under sea- weed. 



Cafius sericeus Holme (?). — With the preceding, less common. 



Cafius (?) sp. — One specimen. 



Bledius basalts Lee. 



Briaraxis depressa Brend. — Under rubbish on the beach. So 

 far as known this is confined to these Keys. 



Actinopteryx fruicola Allib. — Under sea- weed on beach. 



Psyllobora nana Muls. — Not uncommon on bushes ; found also 

 at Key West and in the West Indies. 



Scymmis bivulnerus Horn. — With the preceding. 



Sytnbiotes (?) sp. — Found on the vessel while anchored here. 

 Mr. Schwarz writes that it agrees well with descriptions and 

 figures of 6". pygnicEus. 



Corticaria sp. indet. — Beaten from bushes, common through- 

 out South Florida. 



Saprhius fertugineus Mars. — Very common under the cara- 

 paces of two turtles which we laid out to dry. 



PseudebcBus oblitus Lee. — Common on bushes on Loggerhead 

 Key. 



Necrobia rufipes Fabr.
