[Vol. XII, No. 4, 
was found to contain a mass of minute spores each somewhat 
oval in form and 10 mic. in length. The entire tract from the mid 
portion of the metathorax was filled with the spores, and by 
counting the number in a given area, an approximation of the total 
gave 13,500 for the number in the tract. Unfortunately the 
fungus with which the species was in association was not collected, 
so even the family to which it belonged cannot be noted with 
certainty. 
It seems certain that Symbiotes will be found widely distributed 
in North America.
