likely carried the spider to its nest after the fly had laid its 
eggs upon it and when they hatched the flies had eaten the con- 
tents of the nest and Mr. Champlin had broken it open at the 
psychological moment, as they were all in good condition. 
Mr. Harbeck reported catching Cicindela rugifrons Dej. on 
a sandy path near railroad track at Manahawkin, New Jersey, 
IX-1. Said his nephew had taken him to a park on an island near 
Trenton and he had caught C. marginipennis Dej. along the 
shore about August 10th. Exhibited a specimen of Chloromyta 
from Woernersville, Pennsylvania, VIII-4-13, with abnormal 
center legs—these are twice as long as the others. A species of 
this genus is figured in Williston’s Manual. 
Mr. George M. Greene recorded seeing a male Pelecinus |poly- 
turator Dru. (Hym.) and capturing a Scaphinotus elevatus 
Fabr. (Col.) at Great Falls, Virginia, VIII-6-13. Also Cicindela 
rufiventris Dej. as common on Barren Hill at East Falls 
Church, Virginia, VIII-4-13. 
Mr. Kaeber exhibited a small specimen of Goes tigrina De G. 
(Col.) from Philadelphia Neck, VI-21 on oak and Trichodes 
nuttalli Kirby, Red Bank, New Jersey. In discussing the 
former Mr. Wenzel said he had been collecting it for years in 
southern Philadelphia and nearby Delaware County, and had 
always found it on isolated trees which also contained other 
species of Coleoptera. He showed a very bright yellow form 
of Chelymorpha argus Licht. from Delaware County, VII-12 
(both sexes). When first caught he placed them in cyanide 
and they quickly discolored, becoming almost black. Then he 
caught more specimens which he killed in wood alcohol and 
afterward placed in ammonia; these specimens retained their 
color. 
Mr. Wenzel, Jr., said collecting was very good this year up to 
July. 
Mr. Haimbach recorded the capture this year of many Noto- 
dontids, including Apatelodes torrefacta S. & A., A. angelica 
Grt., a very light form of torrefacta (undescribed) and ten 
species of Datana.
