June,i9i4 Bulletin of the Brooklyn Entomological Society 65 



Wood from Huntington, also in places on the south side of the island. 

 Mr. Davis had prepared elaborate maps showing the distri'bution of the 

 principal species over the island. 



Mr. Dow reported that C. marginata occurred in enormous numbers 

 around the mud fiats. Rockaway Beach, about September i, and that C. 

 repanda dated from March 28 on the sands of Bergen Beach. 



Mr. Weeks spoke on the capture of Leptiira emarginaia, the first speci- 

 men at Yaphank in i860, another in 1894. Both were taken from the 

 black oak trees, which had been partially cut and bent over to make fences. 

 It was pointed out that Mr. Joutel has bred this species from Ft. Lee, 

 N. J. Mr. Weeks also showed a box of beetles taken in his garden at 

 Yaphank. Specimens of Cychrus elevatus were quite black and like some 

 more southerly ones, some from Cape May Co., N. J. Most Long Island 

 specimens are more or less violet tinted. 



Mr. Pearsall mentioned taking Elater sayi in Brooklyn, presumably the 

 first positive record from Long Island. 



R. P. Dow, Secretary.
