two inches or more at Newark, when not a 

 drop fell on the Amboy marshes. There is 

 no such thing, therefore, as a uniform breed- 

 ing throughout the state, though identical 

 conditions, like a general storm, may bring 

 out broods from a number of localities at 

 one time. 



Nor is it impossible that, exceptionally, 

 larvse of any of the salt-marsh forms may be 

 found away from their normal breeding areas. 

 Personally I have never found sollicitans in 

 that way; nor have any of my collectors so 

 found it. But larvse of cantator have been 

 found on one occasion half a mile back, 

 though not much above the general marsh 

 level. But these are accidentals, due probably 

 to the desire of a single gravid and perhaps 

 injured female to place her supply of eggs.
