haniiltoni are also interesting captures of which I have a few 

 •duplicates for any one desiring specimens. — N. S. E. 



April II, near Central Park, Long Island, I took a specimen of 

 Tricrania sanguinipennis, on the ground. An abundance of adult 

 tettix near by suggests a possible life history. A. B. Champlain 

 "has taken them near New Haven, Conn., in a ploughed field where 

 there were many bee burrows. They have been taken by A. H. 

 Manee at Southern Pines, N. C, and are included in Ulke's list 

 of beetles of the District of Columbia. L. H. Joutel has speci- 

 mens with state labels, " N. Y." and " Mass." It is not included 

 in Smith's New Jersey list and has not been taken by the experi- 

 enced collectors of Philadelphia, Newark or New York. Local 

 captures are recorded by Norman S. Easton, near Fall River, 

 Mass., and by C. A. Frost, Framingham, Mass. — R. P. D. 



Hylecoctus liigubris, taking flying at Ft. Lee, N. J., April 18, 

 191 5, was described from Indiana, is not in the New Jersey list, 

 and is apparently extremely rare. Specimen was given to the 

 American Museum of Natural History. Notes on distribution of 

 this species would be very interesting. — R. P. D. 



Amphisoa insolens. One specimen taken from stomach of a 

 trout in Paradise Valley, King River Canyon, Sierra Nevada 

 Mts., 7,000 feet, August 6, 191 4, by R. L. Beardsley. 



Desmocerus auripennis. Three specimens on elderberry, same 

 locality and same collector. Specimens of californicus were 

 taken spring of 1914 near Pasadena by Alonzo Davis. 



Chrysobothris sp. A female from Bullfrog Lake, 10,634 feet, 

 August II, 1914, by the writer, comes from a somewhat high 

 station. 



Agabus lugens. Common in a small glacial lake, same locality. 



Metritis contractus. Probably same as sericeus Rivers. Nice 

 series taken by R. L. Beardsley near Camp Nelson, Tulare Co., 

 September, 191 3. 



Xylotrechus insignis. A specimen of this beautiful beetle taken 

 July 2, 1914, in the upper Arroyo Seco Canyon, San Gabriel Mts., 

 on a Yucca. — Fordyce Grinnell, Jr. 



My best captures this season were three males and five females 

 of Strategus mormon from the Medora (Kansas) sand hills. I
