tains. The locality "Orange Mts.," which occurs so frequently in Mr. 

 Bischoff's records, usually means the ridge west of South Orange, the 

 vicinity of Hemlock falls and in the direction of Eagle Rock. Most of 

 Mr. Bischoff 's collection has been seen by me ; many of the species have 

 been determined by me and others have been named by Messrs. Wenzel 

 and Liebeck. 



Bird, H., Rye, New York. Collects Lepidoptera and makes a special study of 

 boring larvae. His notes are chiefly in Hydrcecia. 



Boerner, Chas., Philadelphia. Is a coleopterist, and has taken many good 

 species in New Jersey. South Jersey is his stamping ground and his 

 material has been, in the main, named by Mr. Wenzel. 



Brakeley, J. Turner, Bordentown. An enthusiastic amateur and owner of the 

 Lahaway Cranberry plantations, whence I have received a very large 

 number of specimens from him. He is the originator of the plaster cast 

 method of studying underground insects. 



Brehme, H. H., Newark. Collects and breeds Lepidoptera, confining himself 

 mainly to the Papiliones, Sphinges and the larger Bombyces. To Mr. 

 Brehme I owe a very useful list of food plants and dates of the occurrence 

 of the early stages in the families studied, as well as the number of 

 broods noted. Mr. Brehme's collections have been chiefly made in the 

 environs of Newark and in the Orange Mountains. 



Bruner, Lawrence, Lincoln, Nebraska, Professor at the State University ; 

 specialist in the Orthoptera. Prof. Bruner has determined most of the 

 material collected by me, and has revised the manuscript of the list in 

 the Orthoptera, which may therefore be taken as representing the present 

 arrangement of most of the groups. Quite a number of species are 

 added on Prof. Bruner's authority, and, altogether, the list makes a very 

 fair showing in this order. 



Bt. Beutenmuller, William. Curator of Insects in the American Museum of 

 Natural History. Mr. Beutenmuller has supplied records in several 

 orders, and in Coleoptera and Lepidoptera, especially the latter, has sup- 

 plied many data concerning early stages, food habits, &c. He has pub- 

 lished several lists of species of various groups found near New York, 

 and these have been freely used. His chief collecting ground in New 

 Jersey has been the district near Fort Lee, along the foot of the Pali- 

 sades, on their wooded slopes and often on their summit. Greenwood 

 Lake and Lake Hopatcong have also been visited on entomological 

 excursions. 



Buckman, Fred , Newark. Coleopterist and member of the Newark Society. 



Bwl. Broadwell, W. H., Newark. A lepidopterist with a small, chiefly local 

 collection, but well kept and accurately dated Some of the material 

 has been collected in the more northern parts of the State, and a large 

 proportion of it has been seen and determined by me. 



C. Calvert, Dr. Philip P., Philadelphia. Professor in the University of Penn- 

 sylvania and specialist in the order Odonata. Dr. Calvert has not only 

 prepared the list in that order, but has also furnished a very large pro- 

 portion of the records. Furthermore, he has determined all my material
