A LIST OF THE BUPRESTIDZ AND CERAMBYCIDA 
TAKEN ON LONG ISLAND, N. Y. 
By ALAN S. Nicotay, New Brunswick, N. J. 
Owing to the ease with which it may be reached from the city, 
as well as to the richness and diversity of the flora, Long Island 
has become a favorite collecting place for entomologists. 
Although only one hundred miles in length, this island has the 
typical scrub oak and pine barren sections as well as an abun- 
dance of deciduous woodland and maritime regions. 
Mr. William T. Davis has collected more thoroughly and more 
exhaustively on Long Island than any other collector. He very 
kindly furnished me with a complete list of his captures in these 
two families. Mr. Frederick Schott and Mr. Ernest Shoemaker 
have also done much collecting, principally near the city. My 
own collecting was done in great part around Bellport on the 
South shore where I spent three summers.
