 OF THE GLOBE. 



Dr. J. F. McClendon has been employed as Resident Naturalist to the 

 Marine Biological Association of San Diego, California, this past summer. 



Prof. E. D. Sanderson, Professor of Zoology and Entomology, has 

 been made director of the Experiment Station at New Hampshire College

Who Lives in Cecropia Cocoons? — In looking over a mass of 

 cecropia cocoons, I was surprised by finding scores of the tiny, pearl- 

 gray, globular cocoons of Chrysopa attached to all parts of the out- 

 side of the looser cocoons of cecropia. The flies emerged, most of 

 them, within two days of my bringing the cocoons to a warm room. 

 A fine Ichthyura apicalis emerged from one of the medium-sized 

 cocoons, and a little dead beetle tumbled out of another which I was 

 cutting open. Two or three small egg-masses of spiders were just 

 inside the loose mouths of small cocoons. It would be interesting to 

 know what creatures winter in cecropias door-ways. — Caroline Gray 

 Soule.
