INVEKTEBRATE ANIMALS OF VINEYARD SOUND, ETC. 331 



a few species of marine insects that are frequently met with under 

 stones, or among the small green algse. Among these a small lead-col- 

 ored insect belonging to the family of " spring-tails," Anurida maritima,is 

 the most abundant. With it a spider, Bdella, and several species of mites 

 [Trombidium) are often found. Several specimens of a "false scorpion, " 

 Chemes oblongus, were also found by Mr. Smith near low-water mark 

 under stones. In the pools and on the rocks, among the green confervse 

 and other sea-weeds, the active green larvae of a two-winged fly, Chiron- 

 omus oceanicus, is often found in abundance. This larva we have detected 

 in the stomach of the " tom-cod," mixed with small Crustacea.
