CATALOGUE OF INSECTS. 729 



Sk. Skinner, Dr. Henry, Philadelphia, Editor of Entomological News and 

 Curator of the American Entomological Society. Is a Lepidopterist and 

 confines his studies mainly to the Papilionides or butterflies. His recent 

 catalogue of this super-family has been followed, and Dr. Skinner has 

 added many dates and localities. He collects incidentally in other 

 orders, turning over the material to his specialist friends. South Jersey 

 generally, but especially Cape May, is his collecting ground. 



Sm. Smith, John B. My own collections have been made throughout the 

 State and in all orders. Jamesburg, Anglesea and Lahaway have been 

 more systematically explored than any other points, but many of the 

 species recorded from Lahaway are really the results of the unselfish 

 labors of Mr. J. Turner Brakeley, who has sent me not only all the 

 material collected by him, but also voluminous and interesting notes on 

 their habits. It may be added that in every order except the Coleoptera 

 and Lepidoptera all the material collected by me has been submitted to 

 specialists for determination. 



Sp. Schaupp, Frank G., late of Brooklyn, New York. A Coleopterist of 

 recognized standing and a specialist in the families Cicindelidse and 

 Carabidse, in which he has published faunal lists. His main collecting 

 grounds, twenty years ago, were along the base of the heights back of 

 Hoboken and extending northwardly. Fort Lee, Clifton, Greenville and 

 the banks of the Passaic were also explored and the records in the 

 families named are generally reliable. 



Ss. Few-Seiss, C, Philadelphia. Specializes chiefly in Orthoptera and Hem- 

 iptera, in which he has added many records. These are of great import- 

 ance because so few collectors of the orders named exist in and about 

 the State. South Jersey and the points easily accessible from Philadel- 

 phia have been chiefly collected over by Mr. Seiss. 



Sz. Schwarz, E. A., Washington, D. C. Assistant to the Entomologist in the 

 U. S. Department of Agriculture and Honorary Assistant in charge of 

 the Coleoptera, in the U. S. National Museum. Mr. Schwarz is the best 

 Coleopterist at present living in the United States. He has been good 

 enough to look over the first edition of the list carefully and to note such 

 errors and probable errors as occurred. In this way the old list has been 

 cleared of such species as were probably erroneously identified. Mr. 

 Schwarz has determined many New Jersey specimens for others as well 

 as myself, and, notably, all the Staphylinids credited to Mr. Reinick. 

 He has done comparatively little collecting in New Jersey, yet is sole 

 authority of the occurrence of several good species in our State. He 

 has been good enough to allow me to use the biological and other notes 

 to the list of the coleopterous fauna of the District of Columbia, com- 

 piled by Mr. Ulke and himself. All the citations are marked "U" (q. 

 v ). Finally, Mr. Schwarz has also revised the list in the Psyllidte, and 

 has added the notes concerning their food habits. 



Thompson, J., Staten Island, N. Y. Collects coleoptera, his records cited by 

 Mr. Davis or Mr. Leng.
