List of the Lepidoptera of Five-Mile Beach, N. J. 

 By Frank Haimbach, Philadelphia, Pa. 



(PART I) 



Five-Mile Beach, which includes Anglesea, Wild wood and 

 Holly Beach, is situated at nearly the extreme southern end of 

 New Jersey, being about five miles northward from Cape May. 

 The flora is southern in character, and while there are no very 

 tall trees, flowers grow in wild profusion in the narrow strip of 

 woods, which extends over the whole length of the island, 

 and for the botanist, as well as the entomologist, this place is 

 B \xritable paradise. 



I believe that Five-Mile Beach has been more thoroughly 

 surveyed entomologically than any other place so near to 

 Philadelphia, and probably no other place in the country 

 enjoys a better patronage by entomologists than this island.
