They were C. marginala in considerable numbers; C. canicularis, apparently 

 confined to the groves of pines, and a few C. lyricen. Not far away from the 

 pond and along a sandy road the Cicada killer {Sphecius speciosus) had a 

 colony. These large ground hornets were flying about the trees, carefully 

 examining many of the branches for their prey. They apparently were 

 not at all attracted by the songs of the Cicadas but depended upon other 

 means than sound for locating them. Cicindela repanda was in some numbers 

 on the sandy shore, and one C. rugifrons and one C. generoia were also collected. 

 At a later date the last mentioned two species would no doubt have been 

 more numerous. 



A day was also devoted to exploring and collecting about Long Pond, 

 which lies a little over two miles north of the Sound shore, and is in part 

 margined by white sand. At this suitable environment, though at some 

 distance from the beach, a colony of the maritime grasshopper {Trimerotropis 

 maritima) was found. This species sometimes occurs far inland providing 

 the surroundings are suitable./? 



Among the hymenopteraf taken on this occasion were Trypoxylon clava- 

 tum and tridentatum. 



Mr. Shoemaker narrated the events of a collecting trip to Malaga, N. Y., 

 principally beating and sweeping through woods of pine and dogwood. He 

 took 100 species of coleoptera, including 14 buprestids and 3 longicorns.
