Additions to the Coleoptera of Meriden, Connecticut. 
By Harry L. Jounson, South Meriden, Conn. 
In my first list of the Coleoptera of Connecticut published in 
the issue of Entomological News for July, 1915, I made the 
statement that it was my intention to add further species to 
this list as they came into my hands. Since I now have some 
275 specimens which are additions to the list, together with 
several corrections, I think it is advisable to publish them. 
I am greatly indebted to the following entomologists for the 
identification of many species and without whose help this list 
would have been necessarily incomplete and uncertain: Mr. 
A. B. Champlain and Mr. Charles Leng, of New York, have 
identified most of the Carabidae; Mr. Schwarz, of the Na- 
tional Museum, together with Mr. C. A. Frost, of Framing- 
ham, Mass., have determined the bulk of the material, while 
Mr. Fisher, of Washington, D. C., is responsible for most of 
the Cerambycid determinations; Mr. E. D. Harris, of New 
York, Mr. N. S. Easton, of Fall River, Mass., and Mr. W. E. 
Snyder, of Beaver Dam, Wis., have also helped in determin- 
ations of species, while Mr. Britton and Mr. Walden, of the 
Connecticut Agricultural Experiment Station, are largely re- 
sponsible for most of the corrections to my former list. 
A short description of collecting grounds in connection with 
this list is deemed necessary. To the northwest of South Meri- 
den there lies a long, narrow valley enclosed by hills and cliffs 
which is traditionally known as “Oregon” by the inhabitants 
of the village. Through the center of this valley flows the 
Connecticut river, on its northern bank runs the track of the 
“Cannon Ball Express,” while along the southern bank a road, 
known as the Cheshire or Oregon road, wends its way. Every- 
thing from sandy shores to deep woods and dense vegetation 
is found in this valley, thus affording a variety of collecting 
which is not easily imagined. My favorite collecting route is 
along the Oregon road for a couple of miles until I come to 
a bridge which takes me across the river, allowing me to make 
my return trip along the railroad track and thence home.
