APRIL COLLECTING IN GEORGIA AND FLORIDA. 



By Dr. D. M. Castle and Philip Laurent. 

 We left Philadelphia on the loth of April, taking the 12.09 

 P.M. train over the Atlantic Coast Line, arriving at Savannah, 

 Ga., about noon the next day. After a hasty lunch we were off 

 to Bonaventure, which is a suburb of Savannah, where we col- 

 lected until approaching darkness warned us that it was time to 

 retrace our steps. The i2lh we visited Tybee Island, where v\-e 

 collected all day. The island is about an hour's ride from Sa- 

 vannah, and much resembles some of the beaches on the New 

 Jersey coast, having a flat sandy beach, back of which are nu- 

 merous sand dunes, back of which again we find a dense growth 

 of trees and underbrush. The 13th another suburb of Savannah, 

 known as the "Isle of Hope," received our attention. The 

 party who gave the place its name \vas living here, and was no 

 doubt living in hope of some day having sufficient means to 

 enable them to get away from the desolate spot. As a collecting 

 ground we w^ere well satisfied with the place, as it was here that 

 we captured a number of rare Georgia insects. During our stay 

 at Savannah the following captures were made:
