than half surrounded by high cliffs situated to the east of the 
city of Meriden. The fauna of this locality differs consider- 
ably from that surrounding my own home and almost always 
supplies new names for the list with each visit, an abandoned 
road through the hills to the north of this pond being one of 
my favorite collecting places. 
Family CrcINDELIDAE. 
Cicindela hirticollis Say. Rare. Taken from June 7 to Aug. 6. 
Family CaRABIDAF. 
Carabus limbatus Say. Rare. Taken in a trap made by sinking a 
glass jar containing some molasses into the ground so that the 
top was level with the ground. Dense woods were selected as 
best for the trap and a specimen of C. limbatus was secured in it 
on May 30. 
Calosoma willcoxi Lec. Rare. Taken with C. frigidum while 
killing caterpillars. May 21-27. 
Calosoma frigidum Kirby. Not common. Taken from May 27- 
June 12. All my specimens were captured while running along 
the fence on the Oregon road where they were busy killing and 
eating the caterpillars of Malacosoma americana. These worms 
fairly swarmed along the fence and every now and then would be 
seen an open spot where the Calosomas had broken their ranks and 
left the dead and wounded on the field. 
Calosoma sycophanta Linn. Rare. 1 specimen May 14. 
Scarites subterraneus Fab. Rare. 2 specimens on June 30 and 
July ‘7.

of May.

stones on May 15.

May 1 to July 7.

tember.

tember and October.
