recorded from California previously. Large brush piles furnished a 

 plentiful supply of fuel and led me to take a few sticks home to try 

 its burning qualities in a stove. These sticks laid in the wood shed 

 until December, when I tried splitting one of the sticks and greatly 

 to my surprise found neatly packed away in a cell next to the outer 

 bark a beetle new to my experience. This stranger turned out to be 

 Schizax senex Lee, previously recorded from Arizona. 



The galleries and cells of Schisax were most numerous in the limbs 

 ranging in size from one-half to one inch in diameter. The cells 

 were very little larger than the gallery and extended to the thin outer 

 bark. In December there were both pupae and adults in the cells, but 

 in February all were adults fully matured and with normal coloring. 



Other mesquite brush heaps of the same age about four miles distant 

 showed no signs of Schisax borings, though the first pile yielded about 

 fifty pairs. From the above I am inclined to think that this beetle is 

 local in occurrence. 



From some of these infested boughs which I took home and placed 

 in a cage (home was then in Pasadena) the beetles emerged from 

 March 3 to 25. — J. O. Martin, Berkeley, California. 



Entomological Literattare. 



COMPILED BY E. T. CRESSON, JR., AND J. A. G. REHN. 



Under the abov^ head it is intended to note papers received at tlie 

 Academy of Natural Sciences, of Philadelphia, pertaining to the En- 

 tomology of the Americas (North and South), including Arachnida and 

 Myriopoda. Articles irrelevant to American entomology will not be noted; 

 but contributions to anatomy, physiology and embryology of insects, 

 however, whether relating to American or exotic species, will be re- 

 corded. 



The numbers in Heavy- Faced Type refer to the journals, as numbered 

 in the following list, in which the papers are published. 



All continued papeis, with few exceptions, are recorded only at their 

 first installments. 



The records of papers containing new genera or species occurring north 

 of Mexico are all grouped at the end of each Order of which they treat.
