Hololepta aequalis Say. (Histeridse). 



In his excellent treatment of the American Hololeptinse, my 

 friend Carnochan records H. cequalis (fossularis) from "New 

 York to Michigan and Eastern Kansas," etc. There are, I be- 

 lieve, in the collection of the Boston Society of Natural History 

 one or two ancient specimens which may have been collected in 

 New England, but these records were considered doubtful by 

 Carnochan, and hence not included in his paper. On April 30, 

 1920, at Northampton, Mass., I found three specimens of this 

 species, including both sexes, under the bark of Ulmus americana 

 logs, thus proving that it does occur within the limits of New 

 England. 



Nicagus obscurus Lee. (Lucanidas). 



On May 16, 1919, we met with this rather rare species in num- 

 bers on the but recently flooded sandy beaches of the Connecti- 

 cut River at Hadley, Mass. Specimens were taken in flight, on 

 the sand, and under drift.
