CATALOGUE OF INSECTS. 705 



river to the ocean, from the Delaware to the Hudson or from the Delaware to 

 the New York State line and beyond. From the Water Gap the course of the 

 Delaware river is northeast to Port Jervis, and the formations then run parallel 

 to it. 



The mountains are all in long ridges, the Kittatinny, which extends from the 

 Water Gap, parallel to the river, into New York State, being scarcely broken 

 in the 35 miles of its course in New Jersey. 



In this mountain, near the northern corner of the State, is the highest point 

 —1,808 feet. 



All these matters come out much more clearly on the geological map of the 

 State, but the few words of general explanation will serve to make more clear 

 the relief map by referring the various regions and ridges to their proper 

 formations. 



The following localities are given in alphabetical order for convenience of 

 reference, and it is believed that very few of those cited in the work are 

 omitted : 



Albion, Camden Count}', three and one-half miles west of Atco Scrub and 

 pine land, with pine and cedar swamps to the south. 



Allaire, Monmouth County. In the pines just west of the marshy shore mea- 

 dows, north of Lake wood, southeast of Freehold. 



Alloway, Salem County. A good, well-cultivated country, with scrub pine 

 and other woodland surroundings. 



Almonessen, Camden County, a few miles southeast of Woodbury, on Almon- 

 essen Creek. Low, somewhat marshy and scrubby land, with a consider- 

 able pond near by. 



Alpine, Bergen County, on the Hudson, about four miles south of the State 

 line. Rocky, palisade, wooded country. 



Ancora, Camden County, about three miles north of Winslow. In the pines, 

 scrub and swamp, with cranberry bogs on the Pump branch, near by. 



Anclover, Sussex County, about five miles south of Newton. A hilly, wooded 

 country, with extremes of a little over 700 feet ; small ponds near by, in 

 all directions, filled by little brooks. 



Anglesea, Cape May County. A fishing village on Five-Mile Beach, fronting 

 the ocean just north of Cape May. From the beach the land rises and 

 forms dunes half a mile back, where a heavy undergrowth with briars 

 chokes a somewhat irregular wood of conifers and deciduous trees. 

 This wood becomes larger, more open at Widwood and Holly Beach, 

 some of the Hollys being large and very fine. In this wood are swamps 

 densely filled with vegetation, and toward the mainland it merges rather 

 abruptly into a salt marsh subject to flooding at high tides. The flora" is 

 very rich and so is the insect fauna which has been very thoroughly 

 explored, almost all the New Jersey collectors having visited the place at 

 some time. The Philadelphians make frequent journeys to this point, 

 Messrs. Wenzel and Laurent having spent many days here. I have 

 visited there myself, each year, one or more times, and have an especially 

 fine lot of Orthoptera from this place.
