is found beneath stones in company with ants, whose nests 
they inhabit, and in cousequence of the darkness prevailing 
in its usual haunts, is white in color. Thus far it has been

Tridadylus sp. This is a small, blackish species taken at 
Raleigh early this month for the first time. It was found in 
low, sandy ground in which it frequently disappeared down very 
minute burrows. When disturbed or alarmed they jump with \ 
marvelous agility, their small size causing them to instantly 
disappear from view when they once leap away. After cap- 
turing several specimens by laboriously approaching them 
with the killing bottle, we finally began to walk rapidly over 
the ground and sweep the collecting net back and forth at 
random, and by this means secured them in considerable 
numbers.
