9s(3) — Compositae: Vernonia fasciculata; Convolvula- 
ceae: Ipomoea pandurata; Rubiaceae: Cephalanthus occiden- 
talis. 
c?s(5) — Compositae: Cirsium lanceolatum; Convolvula- 
ceae: Ipomoea pandurata] Malvaceae: Hibiscus lasiocarpus, 
H. militaris] Verbenaceae: Verbena stricta. Flowers also vis- 
ited by the female are in italics. Of the general visits, 57 . 1 per 
cent fall under Mas, Hb and red (=red, purple etc.). 
In my lists of visitors to local flowers I have distinguished the 
visits of the males and females and noted the pollen visits of the 
females. These are ignored and mixed with notes where the 
distinctions were not made. In 12 , 149, it is stated that visits 
of nest-making bees should show the pollen visits of the female, 
the nectar visits of the female and the nectar visits of the male. 
This was carried out in 13 . The female of Calliopsis andrenifor- 
mis shows 33.3 per cent under Mas and 52.3 under red, while 
the male shows 27.5 under Mas and 48.2 under white. The 
pollen visits of the female show 48 . 7 under Mas and 47 . 3 under 
red, while the nectar visits show 30.4 under Mas and 56.5 under 
red. In 15 , 82 it is shown that oligolectic bees exhibit remarkable 
differences in their pollen and nectar visits. At Hibiscus lasio- 
carpus, at Ipomoea pandurata and at Verbena stricta mean three 
different things. Probably most people would not regard the 
distinctions as important. Many people, however, think science 
and the applications of science are the same thing and that there 
is no conflict between science and 1000 conflicting religions. In 
references to my papers “ Hibiscus ” means H. lasiocarpus. The 
bee never occurs on H. trionum. 
E. fuscojubatus (8) was based on comparison of three females 
from New Jersey with one of E. bombiformis from Georgia. Local 
specimens show that differences like those credited to these spe- 
cies are not constant are not correlated. Any repectable local 
collection is likely to discredit the validity of E. fuscojubatus. 
Twenty-two local females and 12 males vary as follows: meso- 
notum pale 22, 12; scutel ochraceous 18, 0; vertex rufofuscous 
'12, 6; vertex ochraceous 3, 3; front rufofuscous 6, 3; front 
ochraceous 6, 4; cubital cell 3 longer than second 7, 5. The hair 
of vertex varies from nearly black through ochraceous to quite
