Al<*Daaa N. F. Howard (April 16): Hibernation studies in the field near 
Biminghara have resulted in finding mere beetles eer unit of area 
than during the previous two winters; also, larger colonies and 
more colonies were found. While it is too early to give eercent- 
ages of survival in the hibernation cages, it is expected that the

acsoiuteiy dormant during the greater part of the winter, and 
activity did net start until April 5.
