4 NOTES ON JAMAICAN HEMIPTERA 



pages is on the whole satisfactory. The very large proportion 

 of new species, more than one third of all those taken, shows 

 how much need there is of thorough systematic collecting on 

 this island, and the same is probably true of many of the other 

 West Indian islands. 



The localities and dates where most of my work was done 

 are as follows : 



Rock Fort, just east of Kingston. Here I collected along 

 the shore road from the terminus of the trolley line for about 

 three miles toward Morant Bay. The collecting was excellent 

 after passing the old fort. 



Kingston, March 26th. I left the trolley at a cross road 

 about a mile south of the Constant Spring Hotel and worked 

 toward the hills along the roadside and on adjacent fields. 

 Collecting poor. 



Kingston, March 27th. At Hope Gardens. Here I found 

 good collecting along the lane leading from Papine to the Gar- 

 den office and back of the office buildings. 



Mandeville, March 29th to April 4th. I stopped at the 

 Newleigh House and worked in the fields and on the hillsides 

 in the neighborhood, where the collecting was the best I found 

 on the island. 



Balaclava, April 4th to 6th. Stopped at Malvern Hill and 

 worked in the near-by fields and roadsides and along the rail- 

 road track for about a mile east of the town. 



Montego Bay, April 7th and 8th. Here I worked along 

 the shore toward the "Doctor's Cave", up a dry ravine behind 

 the village, and along the road running up the hill to Paradise 

 Pen. It was too dry and hot for good results here. 



Appleton, April 9th. Collected east along the railway and 

 on a cross road to the Shiloa River with good results. 



Port Antonio, April 12th. Here the land was under com- 

 plete cultivation and there were no good opportunities for col- 

 lecting within walking distance of the Hotel. 



St. Margaret's Bay, April 12th. Collected along the Rio 

 Grande River just east of the village in the afternoon with 

 satisfactory results. 



Hope Bay, April 13th. Worked near the river and along 

 the road east of the village. Collecting poor. 



Richmond, April 14th and 15th. Worked on the Alexander 

 estate and along the road north of the town and for about a
