Notes from Color.\do. — Timothy bugs. On Aug. 21, 1889, I took 

 r^ and 9 Pentatomids on Timothy-grass {Phleiim pratense) by Willow 

 Creek, Custer County, Col. They are identified by Mr. Ashmead as Ho- 

 mcsmiis bijugis Uhler, which is probably a variety of H. aneifrons Say. 



Yucca-iTisects. One day I examined the flowers of Yucca angustifolia 

 at West Cliff for insects, having at the time just read some articles on the 

 Yucca controversy. I found many Aphides, and some ants, possibly 

 Formica ciliata Mayr, and on the outside of one of the flowers a bee, 

 Xomia nortoni Cress. The Hymenoptera were kindly examined by Mr. 

 Ashmead. 



Ccenonympha eggs. On June 26, 1889, I caught a ? Coenonympha

 size of the insect. It proved infertile. — T. D. A. Cockerell.

 in other countries, and would be pleased to hear from the readers of En- 

 tomological News as to any striking forms of variation that may come 

 under their notice.

 curiosity. Some relations that were disappointed by her will, attempted 

 to set it aside by acts of lunacy; for they suggested that none but those 

 who were deprived of their senses, would go in pursuit of butterflies. 

 Her relations and legatees cited Sir Hans Sloane and Mr. Ray to support 

 her character; the last gentleman went to Exeter, and on the trial satisfied 

 the judge and jury of the lady's laudable inquiry into the wonderful works 

 of the Creation; and established her will. — Harris'' Aurelian 1766. 



" I recollect some ten or twelve years ago, one Sunday, whilst col- 

 lecting in a neglected field, near Bernard's dam, that the proprietor of the 

 ground, or of some neighboring territory, a pleasant, hale old gentleman, 

 came down in his shirt sleaves to gratify his curiosity in regard to mj' 

 doings. He first approached with the proper caution due to nearing an 

 equivocal animal, but assuring himself by the placidity of my countenance, 

 doubtless, that there was no apparent danger to be dreaded, he approached
