Dr. Skinner exhibited leaf stems from large hickory trees 

 on a lawn here in Ardmore that had been attacked at the base 

 (of the stems) by an insect presumably a beetle or micro- 

 moth. Also sections of the bark, the back of which was badly 

 marked by Scolytids and Buprestids, and which contained 

 living lars'se of both, and some dead imagoes of the former 

 in too poor a state for determination but most likely Scolytus 

 quadri-spinosus Say.

 quoted from the New York Times mentioning live insects 

 found in solid rock by a mine or quarry superintendent two 

 hundred feet below the surface, at Marysvale (State not 

 given) .

 cauda and Lainpria hicolor Wied.. both collected at Hunter's 

 Run, Pa. \^n-23-'ii, saying he would exhibit the species at
