 Florida, Key Biscayne, III, 12, 1915, (H.; luxuriant vege- 

 tation in clearing), 1 $. 



This series is of particular interest, owing to the added evi- 

 dence which we have from it on the decided size variation in 

 this race, due wholly to local environmental conditions. Males 

 previously taken on Key Biscayne and the present specimen 

 from that locality average decidedly larger than any other 

 series we have seen, while the material from Miami Beach 

 also averages distinctly larger than that from the pine woods 

 near Miami.
