position, head somewhat higher than the body. They frequently re- 

 sembled very closely the background of dead twigs and leaves and 

 showed no more signs of life. Along the edges of the road in some 

 places was a slight bank, and in this bank were often circular, irregu- 

 lar holes ranging from the size of a quarter to a half dollar. None of 

 the specimens were taken near these holes, however. 



On the second date, August i6th, the remaining ten specimens were 

 taken in the afternoon. This time the day was rather cloudy, and sev- 

 eral of the specimens were taken around five o'clock, when the road 

 was considerably darker than on the previous occasion. These speci- 

 mens were quite lively, running rapidly when approached, but never 

 flying. 



The rest of the insect life of this locality seemed to be limited most- 

 ly to Cicindela punctulata in large numbers, a few specimens of C con- 

 santanca and wasps of the families Sphecidae and Mutillidae. — Wm. C.

Under the above head it is intended to note papers received at the 

 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, how- 

 ever, whether relating to American or exotic species, will be recorded. 

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

 the following list, in which the papers are published. 



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

 first installments. 



The records of systematic papers are all grouped at the end of each 

 Order of which they treat, and are separated from the rest by a dash. 



Unless mentioned in the title, the number of new species or forms are 

 given at end of title, within brackets.
