( )n .\i)ril 9, 1.S92, a few hours before sundown, while driving 

 toward Las Cruces over the mesa from Organ, there were noticed 

 for several miles hundreds of a neuropterous insect flying al:)out 

 the shrubs, particulary of Ephedra nnadcnsc, which grew numer- 

 ously on this |)art of the mesa. They were first noticed at a point 

 about five miles to the east of Las Cruces, being on the lower 

 sandy portion of the mesa. They occurred in companies, in small 

 numbers, anil even singly. The weather was clear, sunny, and 

 quite warm, and had been so all day. There was not much wind.
