EDWARD BORCHERDT, PRINTER. ~ ; : PREFACE: Tue Publication Committee of the Davenport Academy of Natural Sciences takes pleasure in presenting to the scientific world the seventh volume of its proceedings. For the first time in many years considerable space has been given to entomological papers. ‘This is eminently fitting in view of the fact that the publication was started by J. Duncan Putnam, whose en- tomological contributions added much to the value of the first three volumes. The present volume contains valuable entomological papers by Samuel H. Scudder, Herbert Osborn, Elmer D. Ball, T. D. A. Cockerell, and H. F. Wickham. The departments of anthropology and ethnology, Academy takes a deep interest on account of its large and constantly in which the increasing collections in these lines, are represented by three papers by Frederick Starr. There is also a paper on Scott county geology by Professor W. H. Barris and botanical contributions by L. H. Pammel and H. Harold Hume. The volume is opened by a biographical sketch of Charles E. Put- nam, one of the early supporters of the Academy and twice its Presi- dent. This memoir is written by his son, W. C. Putnam. The membership lists at the close of the volume were prepared by irae, i Preston, and the index by J. G- Udden, Jr.,, of Rock Island, to whom, and to Edward Borcherdt for the pains taken with typography and press-work, the thanks of the Academy are due. The volume is illustrated by plates of a high grade, much enhancing its value. While the Academy is chiefly known to the outside world by its published proceedings, material progress has been made at home. Both the library and the museum have been steadily growing through gift and exchange, and the recent purchase of the adjoining church property will temporarily supply the urgent need for more room. Since the establishment of the Putnam memorial fund it has been possible to publish to better advantage than formerly. Already work has been commenced on Vol. VIII. of the Proceedings. A valuable paper by Samuel H. Scudder on the Orthoptera of the United States and Canada is now in the hands of the printer. ‘This will be followed by an entomological paper by Frederick Starr. With these articles and others that have been promised the value of the volume is assured, Davenport, December 30, 1899.

In a commodious residence on this noble site there dwelt, in the early part of this cen- tury, Benjamin Risley Putnam and Eunice Morgan Putnam, his wife. Here Charles Edwin, the fifth of seven children, was born on February tgth, 1825. The only survivor of this family at present is the youngest brother, Hon. John R. Putnam, a Justice of the Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York, who resides in a modern mansion built on the old family estate. The home at ‘‘ Prospect Hill’’ had been founded, not long after the close of the Revolutionary War, by the pioneer settler of Saratoga, Gideon Putnam, the father of Benjamin R. Gideon had, at the age of nineteen, purchased his majority from his father, and soon after- ward pushed into the wilderness, with his young wife and child, to do what lay in his power to open up and develop the country which had been won from England by the war. He laid out the village, opened the since world-famous mineral springs, built hotels to accommodate the people who began to be attracted thither in the pursuit of health and pleasure, and gave lands for the establishment of parks, churches, schools, and a cemetery. He represented the highest type of those public-spirited and energetic founders of commonwealths, of which our country has produced so many brilliant examples. Gideon was of [Proc. D. A. N.S., Vou. VII.] I { September 10, 1897. ] 4 DAVENPORT ACADEMY OF NATURAL SCIENCES. the fifth generation from John Putnam, the founder of the family in America, who settled in Salem, Massachusetts, in 1634. Gideon's ancestors for more than twenty generations had been landowners in England and New England. He was the nephew of General Rufus Putnam, the distinguished chief engineer officer of the American Army through the Revolution, who in 1788, about the time that his nephew was founding Saratoga, led a band of former officers of the Continental Army and their families across the mountains and down the Ohio River to establish at Marietta the first settlement made by Americans in the new Northwest Territory, thus laying the corner-stone of that vast structure of prosperous states which in the present century has covered the entire Mississippi Valley with its teeming millions. He was one of the Justices of the first Supreme Court of the Northwest Territory, and was afterwards appointed by President Washington a commissioner to negotiate treaties with the Indians, and later the first Surveyor-General of the United States, a position he held for ten years, during which he originated our present simplified system of govern- ment land surveys. He filled many other positions of honor and trust, and at his death in 1824 was, with the single exception of La Fayette, the last survivor of the general officers of the Revolution- ary Army. General Rufus Putnam was a cousin of General Israel Putnam, ‘‘Old Put,’’ the beau ideal of American soldiers, hero of the French and Indian and Revolutionary Wars, and one of the clarion names in history. It may be of interest to add that among the English ancestors of this family was Sir George Puttenham, who in 1589 published ‘‘ The Art of English Poesie,’’ one of the first and most important works in English literary criticism. Modern representatives of the family in the field of literature include George P. Putnam, the author and pub- lisher, George Haven Putnam, Professor Frederick W. Putnam, and others, and among jurists, Judges James Putnam and Samuel Putnam of Massachusetts, and William L. Putnam of Maine. Charles E. Putnam thus started in life with the heritage of an hon- orable ancestry. Delicate in constitution, studious by habit, genial and social in disposition, gifted with a mind of the highest order, he grew to manhood under the refining and broadening influences of an unusually intellectual and social community. For Saratoga, though but a village, was then for a portion of every year the home, as per- haps no other American community has since been, of most of the men famous in our literature, politics, art, and commerce, with many PUTNAM—MEMOIR OF CHARLES EDWIN PUTNAM. 5 of whom, as a young man, he was thrown into close association. The centre of much of this social and intellectual life during all this period was ‘‘ Pine Grove,’’ the well-known home of Reuben H. Walworth, the last of the Chancellors of New York. ‘‘ Pine Grove’’ was always another home for Mr. Putnam while he remained in Saratoga, and Chancellor Walworth a second father. His formal education was lim- ited to the private schools and academies of the village. After the early death of his father, and in order to be with his mother, to whom he was much attached, he relinquished a cherished plan he had formed of securing a higher education at Union College. But from his earliest childhood he supplemented the education derived from schools by the widest range of reading and study, drinking long and deep from the fountains of learning, and reading diligently every book within his reach. For this he had unusual opportunities in the large and well- chosen library of Chancellor Walworth. Though he had come of an ancestry which for countless generations had been landowners or farm- ers, he had no desire to follow in their footsteps, nor indeed to enter into any occupation which should not require the constant exercise of his highest intellectual faculties. He early developed a strong inclination to pursue a literary career, and wrote much for the local newspapers and periodicals. At this period he founded the ‘‘Coterie,’’ a charming literary society of the young peo- ple of the village, several of the members of which afterwards became eminent in literature, law, and politics. Many papers of merit were _ prepared by the members and read at their meetings. In this practice of writing in his earlier years, supplementing as it did the great fund ‘of knowledge which had been acquired by his constant reading, there was laid the foundation for the clear and polished style which charac- terized all of his writings in after life. But, though the call of literature to him was strong and seductive, though he possessed a highly imaginative and poetical mind, and though it cost him a great struggle to turn aside from it, as it did Blackstone and has many another lawyer since, acting under the advice of his life- long friend, Chancellor Walworth, he finally determined to enter the legal profession. He first read law at Saratoga in the office of Beach and Bockes, the senior member of the firm being William A. Beach, sub- sequently a resident of New York City, and one of the most eminent of American advocates; and the junior member, Augustus Bockes, afterward for forty years a Justice of the Supreme Court of New York, who is still living in honored retirement at Saratoga. He was admitted 6 DAVENPORT ACADEMY OF NATURAL SCIENCES. to the bar in May, 1847, but remained with his preceptors for two years or more. He then spent a portion of a year with an elder brother, who was practicing law in Georgia, and was afterward for a year or so in New York City, in the office of Gilbert Spier and Stephen P. Nash, both of whom have also been very distinguished members of their pro- fession, Mr. Nash particularly having been for nearly fifty years one of the most famous estate lawyers in America. Returning to Saratoga he in 1853 met at the home of Chancellor Walworth Miss Mary L. Duncan, who later became his wife, and through her influence he soon determined to make his home in the West. It is of this period of his life that Mrs. Ellen Hardin Walworth, the gifted historian, and a lifelong friend of the family, has written: ‘‘In the last years before the late war there was no young man better known or more kindly considered in Saratoga than Charles E. Putnam. Be- longing to one of the old and honored families of the village and the state, he had grown to manhood in this community an active and lovable boy, an intellectual, genial and fascinating young man, about whom there were varied predictions. His ready smile and charming manner, combined with a slow and easy grace of movement, led the superficial observer to surmise that there was a want of energy and force in his character. Friends who were nearer to his inner life knew even then that the latent fire of a fixed purpose and the forceful will of a strong and gifted man were but casting about for a haven suited to his activities. This was soon found in the great West, where Mr. Putnam rose to eminence as a lawyer, and became one of the leading business men in a vigorous and rapidly increasing city. In the first year of his residence in the West [on December gth, 1854, at ‘‘ Elm Grove,’’ the family homestead in Jacksonville, Ilinois,] he married Mary Louisi Duncan, the accomplished daughter of Governor Joseph Duncan of Illinois, one of the men who contributed largely to the welfare and progress of that state in its earlier days.’’ After making a tour through the West in 1853, and visiting the home of his cousin, the late Hon. William H. Clement, at Cincinnati, where he was detained for some time by a severe illness, Mr. Putnam settled in the spring of 1854 at Davenport, Iowa, entering immedi- ately into a partnership in the practice of his profession with Judge Gilbert C. R. Mitchell, a lawyer of eminence and culture, and one of the pioneers of lowa. From that time to the date of his death Mr. Putnam was actively engaged in the practice of the law in Davenport. His partnership with Judge Mitchell lasted for three years, when the - PUTNAM—MEMOIR OF CHARLES EDWIN PUTNAM. “7 latter was elevated to the bench. General Joseph B. Leake, who has since become prominent in his profession in Chicago, was subsequently associated with him for a year. From 1860 to 1886 he was in part- nership with Hon. John N. Rogers. The firm of Putnam and Rogers stood in the very first rank of the profession in Iowa, and indeed in the entire West. Their practice was extensive and varied, and in- cluded the argument of numerous cases in the Supreme Court of the State and in the United States Courts, and of very many in the Supreme Court of the United States. In all of these courts their arguments were received with the greatest attention, and it was a rare exception when a decision was rendered against one of their clients. Mr. Putnam in his later years gave special attention to corporation and consultation practice, and to the management of large estates and im- portant business interests. For the last year of his life he was in partnership with his son, the writer of this memoir, who had been associated with him in his practice for the preceding seven years. Although deeply engrossed with the practice of his profession up to the day of his death, Mr. Putnam found time to be interested in many enterprises and institutions for the advancement of the community in which he lived. He assisted in the organization and establishment in Davenport of numerous business corporations, and gave much of his time to their development, even when not pecuniarily interested. He served during many years as President of the Davenport Plow Com- pany, the Mutual Plate Glass Insurance Company, the Oakdale Cem- etery Company, and various others. He was connected with the Davenport Gas Light Company for over thirty years, and served as its President during the last twelve years of his life. During his later years especially he gave much of his time and thought to the company last named, constantly introducing new processes in the manufacture of gas, and improving and extending the works. At his suggestion, and under his direction, this was one of the first gas companies in the United States to adopt the system of lighting by electricity in addition to gas illumination. He became profoundly interested in the subject of electricity, and, as was his practice in all matters which he investi- gated, mastered every essential detail of the science, its literature, and its practical application to light and power. Mr. Putnam was early impressed with the beneficent influences of savings banks, and in 1870 organized the Davenport Savings Bank, and served as its President for the ensuing fourteen years, giving during all of this period constant and daily personal attention to its manage- 8 DAVENPORT ACADEMY OF NATURAL SCIENCES. ment. He prepared and drafted the Savings Bank Law of the State of Iowa, which was adopted by the Legislature with a single change per- mitting such banks to do a commercial business, a change which has been regarded by financiers as constituting a grave defect. This law guards the interests of depositors by the most stringent prov.sions, has been pronounced a model by the highest authorities, and is extensively noticed by Emerson W. Keyes, in his ‘‘ History of Savings Banks.”’ It has remained unaltered since its passage, and under its influence the savings banks of the State have been successful beyond hope or precedent, and have largely developed the thrift, prosperity, and high average of intelligence and education, for which lowa has become so well known. In Davenport alone, with a population of about thirty thousand people, there are now (1897) nearly ten million dollars of deposits, making it pro rata one of the wealthiest cities in the Union. Mr. Putnam contributed articles to various financial journals and books upon the subject of savings banks, besides extended reports and ad- dresses to the directors and depositors of the bank over which he pre- sided, all displaying wide research, and evincing the deepest interest in the subject. In 1876 Mr. Putnam was elected President of the First National Bank of Davenport. The affairs of the bank had become seriously involved, and required the skilful treatment of a firm and experienced hand. This he conscientiously gave through a portion of one year, at great personal sacrifice. After carrying the bank successfully through its troubles he felt compelled to retire, owing to the numerous other demands upon his time. Such is a brief outline of Mr. Putnam’s professional and business career. This, however, presents but one phase of his life. His early love for literature, philosophy, art, and science remained with him through life, and always occupied the supreme position in his thoughts. He continued to be a constant reader of books, in every department of literature, science, and philosophy, and gathered at his home one of the largest private libraries in the State, most of the volumes of which he read and mastered. He kept fully abreast of the thought and pro- gress of the world in almost every line of activity, subscribing to, and examining carefully as they appeared, nearly sixty different periodicals, including almost all of the prominent scientific and literary journals. He was a thorough student of all that he read, and his mind was a great storehouse of well-arranged knowledge. He had for many years prior to his death been preparing a large amount of material for several PUTNAM—MEMOIR OF CHARLES EDWIN PUTNAM. 9 literary and scientific projects which he had in mind, and intended to devote the later years of his life to elaborating these and publishing the results of his labors. All of this material, representing the work of the ‘‘ leisure hours’’ of the mature years of his life, was lost in the destruction of his home by fire six weeks prior to his death. The loss of this work preyed heavily upon him, as he felt that he must begin all over again, which at his time of life was most disheartening. And yet, characteristically, he took a cheerful view of the situation, and imme- diately commenced to plan for the future. For in this work was where his heart lay, and though a life of intense activity in doing more than his share in conducting the practical business of the world had pre- vented him from making a permanent contribution to the literature of his time, yet his mind always recurred to this cherished object of his ambition, and it was his hope that he might live to accomplish it. Mr. Putnam took an active interest in all public educational and literary work. He served for five years as a member of the Board of Education of Davenport, introducing reforms into the methods of in- struction and management of the public schools, and retained through life a deep interest in all matters pertaining to their welfare, as well as to the general cause of education in all of its phases. He served as a trustee of the Davenport Library Association, and was an active sup- porter of and contributor to its work. In earlier years, long before the days of ‘‘ University Extension,’’ he was instrumental in bringing many eminent lecturers to Davenport. He was a trustee of the First Presbyterian Church for a long term of years, and, although his views of religion were not bounded by any creed or sect, he was a constant attendant at its service. During his first years at Davenport he belonged to various social and literary organizations, among others being the organizer in 1857, and President during its existence, of the Davenport Literary Society, which was one of the earliest associations of the kind in the West and had an important influence upon the growing Western town. He was also one of the founders and first President of the ‘‘ Excelsior Society,” composed of former residents of New York. He delivered many ad- dresses before these and other kindred associations. He took no part in the practical work of politics. It had no attractions for him, and he never held a political office, though throughout his life he kept fully abreast of all passing political problems. Before the war he was a whig, during its continuance a unionist, and after its close a democrat with very independent proclivities, always voting for the best man [Proc. D.A.N.S., Vot. VII.] 2 { September 15, 1897. ] ie) DAVENPORT ACADEMY OF NATURAL SCIENCES. regardless of party. The only outdoor address he ever delivered was an eloquent and patriotic speech on the Fourth of July, 1860, delivered during the stress of the memorable campaign which preceded tne war. Without being a specialist in any department of science, Mr. Putnam was a conscientious and constant student in many of its branches, and gave it much of the leisure of a busy life. He became a member of the Davenport Academy of Natural Sciences in 1869, not long after its organization, serving asa trustee for fourteen years, as its Treasurer during two years, as Chairman of its Finance Committee for many more, as its President during the years 1885 and 14886, and was at the time of his death its Corresponding Secretary. He, together with his wife, had become especially interested in the Academy in order to assist the scientific life-work of their eldest son, Joseph Duncan Putnam. This son, although burdened with a fatal disease during the last eight of his brief life-span of twenty-six years, succeeded in becoming eminent not only in the special field of entomology to which he devoted himself, and which gave him a world-wide reputa- tion, but also in putting the Academy, its active work, its museum, its library, its correspondence, and its publications, upon a permanent foundation. The sympathy between parents and son was always very strong, and in all of the projects which the latter formed for the ad- vancement of the Academy’s work and welfare, he found a friend and counselor, and a strong financial supporter, in his father. After their son’s death, in 1881, Mr. Putnam and his wife continued their active participation in the work of the Academy, having a strong feeling that the different departments of this work, which the son had so largely founded, should not suffer from neglect. During the remainder of his life Mr. Putnam gave much of his time and thought to this institution and its welfare. It is owing largely to his oft-repeated and unstinted generosity, and to his wife’s untiring labors, that the Academy has its permanent building, and that it has been enabled to keep up its publi- cations and carry on its work. During his presidency he published, in the Academy Proceedings, and separately, an extended treatise upon the ‘‘ Elephant Pipes and Inscribed Tablets in the Museum of the ? Academy of Natural Sciences, Davenport, lowa,’’ containing an ex- haustive discussion of the scientific problems and other questions involved, and which called forth numerous letters of commendation from eminent scientists in all parts of the world. He delivered two annual addresses as President of the Academy, which are published in its Proceedings. ‘The scientific work which he accomplished, compar- PUTNAM—MEMOIR OF CHARLES EDWIN PUTNAM. Ve atively limited though it was, and undertaken late in life, can at least be regarded as an index of what he was capable of doing, and of what he would undoubtedly have accomplished had his life been spared to carry out his projected undertakings. He had planned and prepared material for extensive work in the fields of archzeology and ethnology, the““science of man,’ ’ and his life on earth, being the subjects to which he gave much of his thought and labor during his last years. In 1895, eight years after Mr. Putnam’s decease, his widow estab- lished, largely through the assistance of a bequest from his sister, Mrs. Mary Putnam Bull, of Tarrytown, New York, a permanent fund of Ten Thousand ($10,000.00) Dollars, to be known as the Putnam Memorial Fund, in memory of Mr. Putnam and of his son, Joseph Duncan Putnam, the income of this fund to be used toward carrying on the publications of the Academy. In view of the long and inti- mate association of father and son with this institution, no more appro- priate memorial could have been founded, as it ensures the continuance of the important work which both had so much at heart. But probably the most charming side of Mr. Putnam’s life was that presented during the hours spent in his own home. Here, with a wife of kindred tastes and sympathies, with a family of ten sons and one daughter, to the happiness, education, and advancement of all of whom he was absolutely devoted, and surrounded by the books which served as his lifelong and intimate companions, he really lived the best part of his life, the part which he most highly prized and would least have done without. In May, 1863, he purchased and removed to an estate of eighteen acres in the outskirts of the city, commanding an extensive view of the Mississippi valley. ‘lo the embellishment of this beautiful suburban home, with its wooded avenue and its sloping lawns and ” vineyards, which he appropriately named ‘‘ Woodlawn,’’ in memory of the well-known estate at Saratoga adjoining his father’s home, he de- voted many of his leisure hours for nearly a quarter of a century. He took an active interest in the practical cultivation of trees and fruits, and his fertile and active mind was continually suggesting improvements to the estate. Here he passed the remainder of his life, always glad to return to its peaceful repose when the business of the day was over. It was a truly ideal home which he founded. Nothing that could make the home life attractive and cultivating to his children was omitted. He encouraged them while young boys in undertakings of theirs for the writing, printing, and publication of a magazine bearing the title of the ‘‘ Star of Woodlawn,’’ and of other papers; in the conducting of 4 DAVENPORT ACADEMY OF NATURAL SCIENCES. a complete amateur printing office; and in the performance of private theatricals through the winter months fora number of years, played upon a regular stage with appropriate scenery and all of the accessories. He supplied them with a well-equipped carpenter and machine shop, from which were turned out rowing and sailing boats, canoes, and mechan- ical work of various kinds. He was a firm believer in recreation, pro- viding his children with a billiard table and various indoor games, as well as riding horses and all kinds of outdoor paraphernalia so dear to the hearts of boys. He guided them in their reading and studies, often reading aloud to them with his rich, musical voice from the works of the best writers, having an educating influence of the highest value in the formative stage of his children’s minds. Under the stim- ulus of his character and example the children, while very young, formed among themselves, and carried on for years, a society for his- torical research and study where original papers were read each week, theatrical, amusement, and stamp companies, besides conducting a juvenile savings bank, a post-office, and other institutions. He lived again in the life of each of his children, and was always interested in and sympathetic with whatever interested them. But we are constantly reminded how temporal is everything in life. At noon on June grd, 1887, the fell destroyer came in the shape of fire and swept away the residence at ‘‘ Woodlawn,’’ the scene of so many years of happiness. Mr. Putnam was the only member of the family who reached the house before its total destruction. ‘The home of twenty-four years, with much of its accumulated treasures and household gods, a large portion of his library, and all of his own and his sons’ literary work and manuscripts, were devoured by the flames in an incredibly short time. The nervous shock was a terrible one to him, and the blow was deeply felt, yet his buoyant tempeiament at once made the best of the situation. Over the smoking ruins he began to lay plans for a future home, and never showed the white flag of discouragement. The family moved temporarily into a cottage on the grounds. Here, six weeks later, on one of the hottest days ever experienced in this climate, Mr. Putnam was suddenly stricken down by disease. At seven o’clock in the morning of the second day afterwards, on July 19th, 1887, in the sixty-third year of his life, his soul passed peacefully into the unknown realm the mysteries of which had always had for him an absorbing though speculative interest, and the intense activities of his life were ended. His widow, six sons and one daughter survived him, PUTNAM—MEMOIR OF CHARLES EDWIN PUTNAM. 13 and three days later his remains were borne amid a large concourse of friends to the beautiful Oakdale Cemetery, which during his life had been a cherished object of his care. In his death there passed from earth one of nature’s true noblemen. Speaking from a long and intimate association with him, in the home and in the office, the writer can truthfully say that he was thoroughly and unfailingly honest and just in all of his dealings with his fellow- men; throughout life he treated every one with the utmost courtesy and the fairest consideration, being instinctively a gentleman in all that the term implies; he was the most generous and kind-hearted of men, and it was well-nigh impossible for him to refuse assistance even against his better judgment; he was untiringly industrious, and never neg- lected his duty in doing to the best of his ability any work which lay before him; he accepted the decrees of fortune, good or evil, with calm equanimity, and always courageously looked upon the hopeful side of life; he cared nothing for money except to use it for the good of others, and, instead of accumulating a fortune, spent one as he made it in ministering to the happiness of his family and friends, in the dif- fusion of knowledge, and in helping the poor and the distressed. With all his great talents, and notwithstanding the position he had gained in so many fields of human endeavor, he was thoroughly modest, thinking always of others rather than himself. His predominating characteristics, however, were his unselfishness and his industry. Though his natural tastes were all those of a stu- dent, and his inclinations were towards a quiet life of repose, where his literary and scientific powers could have enjoyed full play, he reso- lutely laid everything aside in order to mingle with his fellow men, perform the duties which he felt belonged to him in the economy of life, and thus make the most he could, for the benefit of others, of the powers which had been given him. And he exemplified by his indus- try how much may be accomplished, in many different directions and spheres of activity, by a well-ordered life, not allowing the cares of business, of money-getting, or of ambition, to prevent him from doing his whole duty to his family, to his friends, to his fellow citizens, and, so far as lay within his powers, to the enlightenment and _ uplifting of the human race. 14 DAVENPORT ACADEMY OF NATURAL SCIENCES. OUR LOCAL GEOLOGY BY OW. H. (BARRIS INTRODUCTORY AND EXPLANATORY. In former papers on our Local Geology, the author treated of the discovery, character, and contents of the lowest series of fossiliferous rocks here exposed on the Mississippi River. They had been necessarily overlooked in the earlier Geological sur- veys of the State, inasmuch as they had not been discovered until after those surveys were completed. Lithologically they seemeca dis- tinct from any of the rocks with which they were here associated. Their more characteristic fossils were new and undescribed, differing widely from any of the forms above them. It was acknowledged they underlaid what was considered the western extension of the Hamilton Group of the New York geologists. From these they seemed widely separated. There was a difference in rock structure apparent at a glance. Fossils were new, some having an external resemblance to those of the Corniferous. ‘The appearance of certain corals and the presence of a coral-reef suggested such reference. It was not simply an: individual caprice or fancy that led to such identification. The highest authorities in both Iowa and _ Illinois geology had plainly and fully expressed their opinions. Professor Hall had traced the rocks of the Upper Helderberg through and _ be- low the city, had defined their position in Rock Island as underlying the Hamilton.* Professor Worthen considered them to be most nearly allied to the Hamilton of New York, and yet claimed they contained some fossils that in that State were characteristic of the Upper Helder- berg. Hence, his conclusion was that they were really the western representatives of 4o¢h these formations.+ In view of such facts, and in deference to such authority, the local workers in the rocks naturally came to the conclusion that both the Upper Helderberg and Hamilton were here represented. That such conclusion was not altogether sat- isfactory is made evident by the fact that in neither of the three col- * Geology of Iowa, Vol. I., page 86. + Geology of Illinois, Vol. I., page 120. BARRIS—OUR LOCAL GEOLOGY. 15 lections here made —that of the College, the Academy, or my own— were any of the fossils labelled ‘‘Corniferous’’ or ‘‘ Upper Helderberg.”’ In the present paper, attention is directed not as heretofore to the study of a single fossiliferous rock, but extended to the whole series of which it here torms a part. ‘This series admits of three natural divisions. These were first recognized and published by Professor Calvin. ‘To the upper member, as developed at Buffalo and vicinity,* he gave the name of Spirifer Parryanus beds, in view of the presence of that spir- ifer; to the next lower the name Spirifer Pennatus beds, that being its characteristic fossil. ‘To the lowest the writer suggested the name of Phragmoceras beds— the Phragmoceras walshi being its most marked fossil in this vicinity. The Professor favored its application szmply as a convenient local name. ‘The name of each bed thus suggests its distinguishing fossil. ‘ It is proposed to invite attention to each of these beds in the order of its exposure, to mark out something of its extent, its character and contents, as exhibited in the various localities on the river, to show the relations these beds sustain each to the other, and the “we siguift- cance of such relationship. THE PHRAGMOCERAS BEDS. These comprise the lowest fossil-bearing rocks found in this vicinity. They extend from a point in the eastern portion of the city, and are seen on both sides of the river as far west as the Cook quarries. ‘They also appear on Rock River, near Camden, Illinois. The earliest indication of their existence is furnished by the dis- covery of the trilobite known as the Proetus Prouté of Shumard.+ In his description of it, he writes: ‘‘I am indebted to the kindness of my friend, Dr. H. A. Prout of this city, who found it some years ago a short distance above the town of Davenport, lowa, near the water level of the Mississippi, in ‘compact grey limestone’ supposed to be of the age of the Hamilton Group of the New York series.’’ This compact grey limestone of which he writes is one of the persistent elements of the Phragmoceras beds. While every vestige of the rock 77 Alace has disappeared, the original specimen on which Shumard based _ his description was lost in the great fire at St. Louis, which swept away his whole collection. Fortunately a second and third specimen page 26. {Transactions of the Academy of Science of St. Louis, Vol, II., No. t, page 111. 16 DAVENPORT ACADEMY OF NATURAL SCIENCES. was found in Cook’s quarry just below the city, and which at his re- quest was loaned to Professor Hall, who redescribed the species, illus- trating both specimens in his great work on Palaeontology. * The next exposure westward was long known as the LeClaire quarry, located within the city limits, but now entirely obliterated. For years it had been visited, and collections made mainly from the Spirifer Pennatus beds. ‘The quarry had the appearance of being opened for the sake of procuring stone suitable for building purposes. Excava- tion had gone down into the Phragmoceras beds, when the next suc- ceeding limestones and shales must have become loosened, and resuited in a confusion and commingling of rocks and fossils of both beds. Here, as elsewhere, the Phragmoceras beds included their two most marked divisions. ‘The upper consisted of a series of thin, hard, non-continuous layers of limestone. On the surface of many of these were crowded the detached valves of Owen’s Adtrypa comts (the Gypr- dula occidentalis of Hall), and corresponding so closely to Owen’s figure, particularly in the absence of frontal plications, that on men- tioning the circumstance to Dr. Parry he responded that he had ac_ companied Dr. Owen to this very locality. Beneath these thin slabs could be traced the other member stretching for eight or ten feet down the bluff, a light grey, thick, heavy-bedded rock, in the rough- ened face of which stood out the weathered forms of some of its most ordinary fossils. As a third locality, we have the extension of these beds across the river into Rock Island. One difference between this and other ex- posures was that the series of upper thin layers was to some extent absent. The upper member of the Phragmoceras beds graduated so gently into the lower part of the Spirifer Pennatus beds as scarcely to be recognized. Yet Professor Worthen did not fail at once to detect the difference. In his description of the Devonian limestone between Rock Island and Moline, he separated it on purely lithological grounds into three divisions. The upper two correspond to Professor Calvin’s Spirifer Pennatus beds. The lower is the Phragmoceras, and cannot be better described than in his own words: ‘‘ These shaly limestones are under- laid by @ fine-grained grey or dove-colored limestone, the upper part becoming tolerably massive.”’ + *Natural History of New York. Palzwontology, Vol. VII., page 126, Plate xxiii., figures 16-18. t Geology of Illinois, Vol. I., page 121; Vol. V., page 223. BARRIS—OUR LOCAL GEOLOGY. 77 In a succeeding volume he speaks of its ‘‘ being destitute of fossils except in the upper layers, near its junction with the shales.”’ ’ These ‘‘upper layers,’’ in virtue of their position and character, constitute the upper member of the Phragmoceras beds as they are elsewhere exhibited. The Professor further claims that there were no fossils in these beds, differing from those in the beds above them (the Spirifer Pennatus beds). He overlooked the fact that in the very volume in which the statement 1s made he had described one of its most characteristic fossils, the Sperifer subundiferus. In the next volume two others equally characteristic, the Phragmoceras walsht and Calceocrinus barrist, were described and figured. Recrossing the river, in Cook’s quarries, just below the city, on the bottom-land, and but a short distance from the river and little above its level, was the typical realization of the Phragmoceras beds.* As originally described, the southern portion had been first worked, presenting for years the two marked divisions by which they were distinguished. ‘Tne lower, answering to Professor Worthen’s description, was a fine-grained, grey or dove-colored limestone, attaining a thickness of eight or ten feet, arranged in regular layers of a foot or more in thickness. — Irregularly disseminated through the mass was found the greater part of the larger and best-preserved fossils. Conspicuous among them were the Ceph- alopods, Brachiopods, and Crinoidea. Above these were thin, non- continuous layers from two to three inches thick, extending upwards two or three feet, with abundant coralline forms, embracing Cyatho- phyllum, Favosites, Cladopora, Alveolites, and Stromatopora. On the surface of the ground the same forms occurred in abundance, while in a neighboring quarry they were massed together in a reef. As the quarries were worked northward these layers became gradually thick- ened, till they assumed something of the character of the rock on which they rested, carrying few fossils. Occupying their place was a stratum of one to two feet in thickness, roughened with the broken valves of a shell, in external form closely resembling a Rensseleeria, the greater number partially weathered, and so compacted together that while they existed in large numbers it was difficult to extricate a single individual from the mass without such breakage as to place it beyond all hope of positive identification. This today forms an ex- tended layer capping the limestone beneath, and stretching on a quarter of a mile or more towards the bluff, excluding through the whole distance almost every other form of fossil. * PROCEEDINGS OF THE DAVENPORT ACADEMY OF NATURAL SCIENCES, Vol. Il., page 261.

All the fossils enumerated with scarce an exception were gathered from this locality. With the filling up of the quarries first worked and the gradual change in the rock northward, with corresponding decrease of fossils, it is not very prob- able that many of the rarer forms in the first list will again be met with. Yet it is possible that on further examination some of these may be found to have passed up into the Spirifer Pennatus beds, and in such case should be inserted in the second list. 1.— List of fossils characteristic of the Phragmoceras beds: Aulopora conferta....... .

One other locality is worthy of a passing notice. Professor Worthen claimed that the whole floor of Rock River, from Camden almost to the Mississippi, is composed of this rock.* He writes: ‘‘'The massive solidity, conchoidal fracture and white dove-color of the stone indi- cate it belongs to the lower portion of the formation.’’ Few fossils were found in it when he wrote. Subsequently, when the river was drained, many of the rarer forms were found. A few rods from the bridge, in the rise towards the bluff, are the remains of an old quarry in which the upper thinner layers are more than usually thickened and carrying some of the usual fossils in excel- lent condition. It is only in the Phragmoceras beds, and confined to their lower portion, that Ganoidal remains have been found. Fragments of plates occur measuring nearly an inch in thickness and several inches in length and breadth. As in other localities, their entire surface is covered with small stellate tubercles. Apparently similar fragments appear among fossils of the Hamilton formation of Ontario, Canada, in their best known localities. These fragments have been formally acknowledged by Whiteaves, in the Geological and Natural History Survey of Canada, as parts of the cranial plates of the Wacropetalich- thys Sulivanti Newberry,} at first described from the Corniferous of Ohio. SPIRIFER PENNATUS BEDS. Between these beds and those just described a marked contrast ex- ists extending to rock and contents. ‘There are soft clays, irregularly bedded, light-colored limestones, often separated by bands of calcar- eous shale, and, in addition, holding a prominent place and maintaining a definite position in these beds, is a persistent encrinal limestone. * Geology of Illinois, Vol. V., page 227. } Contributions to Canadian Paleontology. Vol. I., Part II., Sec. 2, page 119. Geological Survey of Ohio, Palzontology. Vol. I., page 2go. 20 DAVENPORT ACADEMY OF NATURAL SCIENCES. Fossils assume a greater variety of forms. There is an increase both in the number of species, as well as multiplicity of individuals. Adopting the same order as before, we may revisit the LeClaire quarry. ‘Though limited in extent, the lithological and faunal differ- ences are at once recognized. The soft clay enclosed a profusion of small fossils. With the minute, frail, delicate bryozoa were mingled brachiopods equally small and delicate. The limestone carried the common forms. Of the two American species of Hexacrinus, one was found in the encrinal limestone of this quarry. The Academy was fortunate in having it studied, described and figured by Messrs. Wachs- muth and Springer, who gave it the name of Hexacrinus occidentalis.* Of these beds, as exposed in Rock Island, no later or better summary can be given than that by Prof. Udden.+ The section described was near the Rock Island depot, and divided into three parts: ‘‘ The upper twenty feet was composed of shaly limestone and calcareous shale, con- taining throughout fossil brachiopods and, near the top, stems of vari- ous crinoids. The next six feet comprised three ledges of limestone separated by seams of shale, and containing about the same fossils as the beds above. The lower consisted of three solid ledges of a strong limestone, seven feet thick, containing a less number of brachiopods and more corals.’’ ‘The two upper portions represent the Spirifer Pennatus beds, the lower, the Phragmoceras. From this bluff exposure at Rock Island, crossing the river, we de- scend to the low bottom land below the city in which Cook’s and neighboring quarries were wrought. The entire mass of the Spirifer Pennatus beds has almost disappeared. The bluff from which they were detached is more than a mile to the northward. ‘The surface rock through that whole distance is the Newberria strata of the Phrag- moceras beds, and only in its slight irregularities and shallow troughs are traces of the shale to be found. At the quarries the limestones and shales represented at Rock Island by over thirty feet of thickness have dwindled down to two or three feet, still carrying their larger fossils. Underneath is a soft clay like that in the LeClaire quarry, crowded with exquisitely-preserved small brachiopods and as equally delicate small bryozoans. ‘There is no further exposure through a distance of five or six miles, where we reach the quarry of Mr. John Sauer. It is * North American Crinoidea, by Wachsmuth and Springer, Vol. II., page 745, and Atlas, Plate Ixxviii., fig. ro. t Report of the Illinois Board of World’s Fair Commissioners at the World's Columbian Exposition, page 136, BARRIS—OUR LOCAL GEOLOGY. 21 situated on the brow of the bluff facing the river, and shows the fol- lowing section: FEET. 1.

Cee MR ig Beginning at this quarry and still going westward, within the next four miles is found, at comparatively short distances from each other, no less than six long ravines, each, in its course, contributing some- thing to our knowledge of the rock. ‘This whole ravine region de- serves a slight notice. I have called them ravines. In reality they are valleys of erosion two or three hundred feet broad, thirty to fifty feet - high, not the result of any forces now in existence. ‘The little streams have simply hunted them up—taken advantage of their work to make the nearest way to the river, doing some excellent work as they passed along. Their apparent origin seems simple. Little rivulets originat- ing back in the prairies running southward, swollen by rains and es- pecially spring freshets, have cut their way through the soil and into the upper part of the shales, have ploughed deeper in their course as they approach the bluff, leaving on their banks for a mile or more masses of rock and shale. ‘The excavation goes on through the long slope stretching towards the river, building a channel for its course. The rock, whether exposed in the ravines, at the bluff, or on the long slopes extending to the river, with one exception, is always that of the Spirifer Pennatus beds. All the quarries that have been opened are in the same beds. Along the crown of the slope occur their most prominent features. A few rods east of Mr. Sauer’s quarry and along its side extends the First Ravine. ‘Though shorter than some of its neighbors, it originates back in the prairie, and along its course for a long dis- tance good exposures of rock and shale may be studied. North of the quarry for thirty or forty feet extend thick, heavy beds of encrinal limestone. They form a sharp contrast with the softer, thin- ner layers in the quarry,—showing the change occurring in the same rock within such short distance. Between this and the next ravine, 22 DAVENPORT ACADEMY OF NATURAL SCIENCES. and at about the same height as the Sauer quarry, a new, large quarry has just been opened on the farm of Mr. J. G. Dutcher. The section shown is as follows : FEET 1. Irregular layers of shaly limestone slightly fossiliferous. 2 tae Layers still more irregular. : 3 Thickened strata including three Ee a onal liaenrane! 7 A slight bluish limestone zz ‘¢Azs place arranged in regular strata each of 6 or 8 inches, forming the floor of the quarry. 6 ny In all other places this limestone is most irregularly bedded. It is readily recognized, abounding in broken fragments of fossils which are of a darker blue than the rock in which they were imbedded. One-quarter of a mile west of this quarry, and nearly half a mile from the First Ravine, we find the Second. In many respects it differs from the first. It cuts through the limestone at a lower horizon. It shows not a continuous, regular exposure, but abounds in occasional bluffs attaining a height of fifteen to thirty feet. These challenge attention not only for number or height, but for irregularity in bedding. Strata are laid down sometimes horizontally, but oftener diverging from such rule, often disposed in long, flexuous curves, each bearing only the slightest possible resemblance to its neighbor. To a student interested in abnormally developed strata this locality commends itself. To add to the perplexity, the same strata change in thickness with every new exposure. Leaving out this element of uncertainty, the section is as follows: 1. First and uppermost is a well-defined cora/ reef showing a thick- ness of one or two feet. to The upper series of limestones and shales especially noted for dis- turbances in bedding. 3. Encrinal limestone in the mass or distributed in layers. 4. A hard, often softer, calcareous shale filled with brachiopods, Or- this being the prevailing form. 5. Second series of limestones and shales firmer at the bottom of the dry channel. May it not be owing to the changing, almost abnormal, condition of the strata characterized as No. 2,—that while every step is made over broken fragments of fossils, scarce a perfect form is found? A quarter of a mile west, on the farm of Mr. William Sauer, is a quarry in the Third Ravine. BARRIS—OUR LOCAL GEOLOGY. 23 Prof. Hall* recognized the shales and shaly limestone underlying the encrinal limestone, giving a section of fifty or sixty feet as follows: Bnermallimestome;. 2. \. |)... '2 2 ae ro— per feet. suiales and-shaly limestone, 2 +. 97). 50 feet. Since his visit, resting on the encrinal limestone, a quarry has been opened in the «fer limestones and shales showing a further height of ten feet. Another addition is effected through the change wrought in the encrinal limestone. As it eve appears it is a single huge, solid block thirty feet in length and ten to twelve in height, apparently capable of resisting all ordinary elements of change or decay. Yet as we ascend the ravine we find that for nearly a mile the beds and banks of the little stream are strewn with thin layers of the limestone from an inch to two inches in thickness, their surfaces covered with cri- noidal columns and occasional well-preserved smaller corals and bry- ozoa. ‘The fall in the stream fora mile should be taken into account, as it adds further to the height of the rock. The exposure suggests the changing horizons of the three ravines so far noticed. ‘The First cuts into the extreme upper part of the upper limestones and shaies. The Second ploughs still deeper into the central portions. The Third finds its way into and through the encrinal limestone. ‘lwo peculiar exposures of the upper limestones should not be overlooked. They occur a quarter of a mile west, just above where the little stream run- ning through the Spirifer Parryanus bed crosses the bluff. In its bed, and covering the entire width of the stream for a short distance, is a rock roughened with the remains of large Orthocera and Gomphocera. One of the latter was found in excellent condition. This rock may be the extension of the coral reef referred to before, and best exhibited in the Fourth and Sixth Ravines. One thing is certain: a Gompho- ceras of similar size, and in the same relative position, is found in both ravines. Saws ELA Spirifer perextensus.....+......+...Meek & Worthen.

While some of these are not in good condition, only in shape indi- cating the genus to which they belong, others are well preserved and warrant further study. The author had hoped to accompany the pres- ent paper with another containing ‘‘ Palaeontoloyical Notes and De- scriptions of New Fossils.”’ The lists given throughout this paper represent individuals found in this vicinity and now in one of the three collections before referred to. THE SPIRIFER PARRYANUS BEDS. These beds, when fully represented in this vicinity, are compused in their upper portion of layers of heavy-bedded light-colored non- 28 DAVENPORT ACADEMY OF NATURAL SCIENCES. fossiliferous limestones. ‘These are succeeded by shales and shaly limestone which, through their whole thickness, are made ‘up of masses of fossils, mainly of the AfAyrts vittata. These are again followed by limestones resembling those in the upper portion, but more firm and carrying some of the usual fossils. The contrast with the Spirifer Pennatus beds is very marked. There are no alternations of light-colored limestones and shales, encrinal limestones or coral reefs. These have disappeared. Another series succeeds, in many respects widely different. The general construction is heavy, massive. Thin layers of rock are not indulged in. The shale is like no other shale. It is in full sympathy with the surround- ings. There is nothing light or cheery about it. The mode of depo- sition favors no such idea. And then comes in the color—drab, uniform, persistent to the very last. There are no Corals, Crinoids, Gasteropods, Cephalopods, or Crus- tacea. Brachiopods alone survive, their number greatly diminished. Of these Prof. Calvin has furnished the following complete list: SPIED PUTTY UES 2 oie wr os 2a ee SPO SPI EN ASPOI A 2 cue nein aathioe Re AUYTES GUEBIG ors joie ake oo iets yore Ba ELE OVINE UMUORMA ei. ce oie ee ee eae ATHY pO TOUCUVATIS 5 nc: is > 4 on > 0 0) bine LAMMECUS.

No exposure of these beds occurs through the distance of seven or eight miles below the city. They are then found in the First Ravine, over half a mile north of the bluff. A small hillock stands in the very midst of the stream, made up of the buff limestones and accompanying shales, the latter filled with the usual smaller fossils. Within a short distance two or three other patches appear. Another equally limited exposure is seen in the Second Ravine, and about the same distance from the bluff. Fossils had been found in the bed of the stream from time to time, but no trace of their origin, until very lately. A little rivulet had found its way down from the top of the hill, hewing into the shales and limestones of the Spirifer Pennatus beds until a succession of steps of unequal thickness was formed extending down to the main stream. On mounting these, at the very summit appeared for the first time the BARRIS—-OUR LOCAL GEOLOGY. 29 coral reef, and resting on it both the limestones and shales of the Spir- fer Parryanus beds, almost lost under the soil of the prairie. In the First Ravine the beds appeared in the bottom of the stream. In this, they were only reached by a lengthy, tortuous route, and found at the top of the hill from thirty to forty feet above the stream. The Third Ravine contains no exposures, but following a road west of William Sauer’s quarry nearly a quarter of a mile, a little stream is encountered crossing the bluff, in two particulars differing from any of the others we have noticed. It runs in an entirely different direction. They from north to south to the river, this from west to east, making a sharp angle to cross the bluff. It is the only stream whose whole course lies through the Spirifer Parryanus beds. For a quarter of a mile exposures are frequent both in rock and shale. First appear large, heavy, extended blocks detached from the bluff, usually sparing of fossils. As we ascend the shales come into view. The channels cut by the stream are unusually deep and crowded throughout the en- tire depth with masses of broken shells of, mainly, A‘hyrus vittata. Beyond these the hardened limestone is again seen till lost in the prairie. The following section is given: FEET, Thick, heavy bedded limestone. ; ge Oe Shales, excessively fossiliferous. . : : ; et as Lower harder limestone. : c : : : ere In the Fourth Ravine, generally known as the ‘‘Dodge Ravine,”’’ is a remarkable exposure of these beds just north of the large quarry in the Spirifer Pennatus beds. The encrinal limestone here attained its utmost hardness and forms for some distance the smooth floor over which the stream flows. Its width is forty or fifty feet and across it had extended two or three strata of limestone a few inches in thick- ness, filled with the casts of Spirifer Parryanus. The action of the water had broken away all the central portions, leaving on both sides of the stream projecting towards it these differing strata. The crowded condition of the shells, their number, their exclusion of every other form, calls to mind the description given by Prof. Calvin of casts of the same Spirifer as found at Montpelier in a slightly differing rock.* The locality has been worked by visitors who would naturally suppose it to have been in the Spirifer Pennatus beds. Certain peculiarities would favor such conclusion. ‘The appearance of the Spirifer in such * Geology of Iowa, Vol. I., page 45. 30 DAVENPORT ACADEMY OF NATURAL SCIENCES. numbers is unheralded by any apparent change in the rock. They are also unaccompanied by their usually associated fossils. The hardened rock of the Spirifer Parryanus beds rests first upon the encrinal limsestone, and when that disappears, on the coral reef. A short distance beyond this, and for the first time in the banks of the stream, are seen thick, heavy strata assuming very gradually something of the usual characteristics of the beds even as to color, the whole still very sparing of fossils. In the bed of the stream for a long distance, in the matter of form, color, and hardness, the limestone seems assim- ilated to the rock on which it rests. ‘The upper member, heavy bed- ded, buff-colored, is seen in place half a mile distant, resting on the hardened layers of the shales, which, though crowded with the smaller fossils, yet refuses to release them from their matrix, owing to the ex- treme hardness of the material in which they were embedded. In the Fifth Ravine, where Captain Clarke’s quarry is located, is a comparatively limited exposure occurring on the east side of the Falls. Huge blocks have been detached from their place in the bluffs, falling down and standing on edge. Some of these measure several feet across and are two or three feet thick, showing the usual smaller fossils. The lower portion extends in a perpendicular face to the quarry in the lower beds. Above these Falls are a few scattered rocks, but there is no further extension of the rock northward. The Sixth Ravine, one mile and a half below Buffalo in the banks of the streem and one mile above its mouth, presents an interesting exposure. The Spirifer Parryanus beds assumes something of its typi- cal form. ‘The upper portion is buff-colored and heavy bedded, almost non-fossiliferous, with a height of five feet. The middle por- tion is composed of the softer clays and shales filled with the ordinary fossils, and is about five feet in thickness. The lower part maintains its ordinary features for two or three feet till it approaches the stream, when, in direct contact with the underlying rock, it gradually becomes firmer and finally assumes the color and hardness of the coral reef. Just as in the Fourth Ravine, a similar change was wrought in the lower portion of the Spirifer Parryanus: beds in contact with the encrinal limestone. One-half mile further north, on the east side of the stream, the shales and shaly limestones are again seen prolific in fossils, while the lower portions rest on the coral reef conforming to its color and hardness. SUMMARY AND CONCLUSION. The Phragmoceras beds first recognized in the eastern part of the BARRIS— OUR LOCAL GEOLOGY. 31 city are exposed on both sides of the river, culminating in thickness and interest in the Cook and neighboring quarries, and disappearing a short distance below. They are of comparatively limited extent, con- fined within two or three miles and reaching a height of about twelve feet. They contain characteristic fossils to the number of twenty-four. Eight pass into the beds above, while about the same number are undetermined. The Spirifer Pennatus beds appearing in the old LeClaire quarry are seen on both sides of the river and are in full force throughout the Ravine region, disappearing for a time with the exposure in the Sixth Ravine. Of greater extent than either of the other beds, they appear through the distance of eleven or twelve miles and in height range from sixty to seventy feet. About sixty species of fossils have been found in these beds, while but one of them is represented in the suc- ceeding beds and eighteen are undetermined. The Spirifer Parryanus beds are not found through the distance of seven or eight miles below the city, and then only in patches in the First and Second Ravines. They are well exposed on the little stream between the Third and Fourth Ravines, carrying all their peculiar characteristics into the Sixth Ravine, beyond which they soon disap- pear. Their extent is about four miles, their height from twelve to fifteen feet. Described fossils are limited to five, while two are unde- termined. As to the place of these beds in the Geological formations of the state, it will be remembered that the Devonian of the State of New York embraced four large Geological formations. It was natural to suppose that in its extension westward some of these formations would again appear. As early as the Second Geological Survey, Prof. White took the ground that all the Devonian strata of Iowa evidently belonged to a single epoch, undoubtedly referable to the Hamilton period, as recognized by the New York geologists.* After long, patient study, Prof. Calvin came to the same conclusion. As one of the results of his labors he separated all the calcareous beds of the Iowa Devonian into three divisions. The first he named the Lime Creek Shales, the second the Cedar Valley Limestone, the third the Independence Shales. It is to the middle division, ‘‘ the great limestone series,’’ that the beds described in this paper belong. The writer has directed atten- tion simply to a study of its most easterly outcrops, trusting his work may be of some use to the student in his geological studies. * Geology of Iowa, White, Vol. I., page 187. 32 DAVENPORT ACADEMY OF NATURAL SCIENCES. The subject thus presented suggests the fault of former papers on ‘¢Our Local Geology,’’ in referring the lower beds to the Corniferous limestone. It consisted in emphasizing certain conditions as peculiar to the Phragmoceras beds, when, as we have shown by comparison of bed with bed, it is found that conditions equally characteristic distin- guished the other two. Unity is thus reached, not diversity. The very differentiation of these beds as to lithologic and palzontologic character, instead of separating, binds them together as parts of one Geological formation. In keeping with such relationship is the fact that one-third of the fossils of the Phragmoceras beds pass up into the , Spirifer Pennatus beds, suggesting another bond of union. In the list given how few fossils can be recognized as positively characteristic of the Corniferous limestone. Further, and establishing the true relationship of these beds to each other, is the significant fact that there are no signs of disturbance be- tween the Phragmoceras and the Spirifer Pennatus beds that would suggest a separation. Despite a single apparent exception, and that at the summit of the Spirifer Pennatus beds, the same continuity of rock deposition is maintained throughout the whole series. Efforts have been made from time to time to correlate the whole or parts of the lowa Devonian limestone with the whole or parts of the New York Devonian, but have not proved entirely satisfactory. The incorporation of the following remarks of McGee into the first volume of the Iowa Geological Survey by Prof. Keyes, then Assistant State Geologist, no doubt voices the opinion of the Chief of the Survey, and its reproduction here may well close the present paper. * ‘Tt is therefore manifestly unwise to correlate either the limestones alone or the entire series of Devonian strata with any of the New York divisions ; and while the shales may be discriminated on both litho- logic and palezeontologic grounds, it is not now possible (and perhaps it never will be possible ) to separate the limestone series into distinct formations or into individualized beds of more than loca! ~alue. They may accordingly be treated as a unit and may take an individual name; and it seems expedient to recur to the designation originally proposed by Owen, and re-christen the entire series of Calcareous sediments stretching from the Minnesota line to Muscatine County in a belt fifty miles in average width, the Cedar Valley Limestone.” *U.S. Geol. Surv., rrth An. Rept., page 319. Iowa Geol. Surv., Vol. I., page 39. STARR—A STUDY OF A CENSUS OF THE PUEBLO OF COCHITI. 33 Meat DY OF -ASCENSUS OF THEFPPUEBLO OF COCHITI, NEW MEXICO. BY FREDERICK STARR. For some time it has seemed to the writer that the quickest and simplest method of getting at the fundamental facts in the social organization of any one of our Indian tribes would be the taking of a census of the whole population by houses, securing the clan of each person and his relationship to the other members in the household. In making general inquiry of Indians regarding clans or the structure of society some details are almost sure to be missed; with such a census, properly made, no point can finally be overlooked. It has been believed, also, that such a census would be useful material to place in the hands of a class of students for study. Impelled by these two ideas, we made a house census of the Pueblo of Cochiti, N. M., on our last visit there in September. The structure considered typical of most American tribes may be briefly stated. Two ideas are fundamental—the importance of blood kinship and the supremacy of woman in the household. ‘The tribe is made up of a certain number of clans, gentes, or kins, whose members are blood relatives and bear the clan name; relationships are traced through the woman, and children belong to the clan of the mother; the father is of another clan, as marriage between members of one clan is prohibited. In 1890 Bandelier* stated that at Cochiti there were ‘‘at least thirteen clans,’’ the names of which he gave as follows: Sun, water, cottonwood, turquoise, panther, bear, calabash, mexican sage, coyote, corn, scrub-oak, fire, ivy. It is plain that Bandelier cannot have made a detailed census, such as is above sug- gested. This will appear presently. The census of Cochiti on September 28, 1897, follows: NO. NAME: SPANISH.

In the above enumeration horizontal lines separate the members of one house- hold from those of another. The first name in the household group. is that of the head of the house, man or woman. ‘The Spanish name is given: then the Indian name: then the clan. Under the heading ‘‘ remarks’’ are given (a) the significance of the Indian names, necessary data regarding relationships, or facts of interest concerning the individual. An * before a woman’s name indi- cates that she is the wife of the man just before named. Names immediately following those of a married couple are those of their children, unless otherwise [ Proc. D. A. N. S., Vor. VIf.] 5% [November 15, 1897.] 42 DAVENPORT ACADEMY OF NATURAL SCIENCES stated. All names of females are marked with an fon the same line. In giving the Spanish names the informants’ pronunciation have been closely followed. A curious variation in family names with variation in sex will be noticed:—the family name for males may end in 0, while for females it ends in a; e. g. Arcero, Arcera. Surprisingly few of the Indian names are significant: it is certain that some which are significant have not been translated, but it is equally sure that a large number of them are today ‘‘simply names.’’ Where no names at all are given the individuals were mostly little children, whose names were unknown to or forgotten by my informants. The Indian names are spelled phonetically and are marked to indicate pronunciation ; markings were considered unnecessary in the other columns. ‘Two persons in the list — Nos. 61 and 263 — could not at the moment be located in the manner of clan, by my informants. This fact in itself renders it certain that they do not belong to any clan not mentioned and as both are males ignorance with regard to them will not affect any conclusions drawn. With these words of explanation we may examine the tables and draw a few conclusions of interest. To completely work out the possible results would defeat one of the objects in view.

Their English names in the order above given are calabash, scruboak, water, cottonwood, coy- ote, Mexican sage, sun, ivy, turquoise, sage (Shipewe ), maize. Comparing this list with the one given by Bandelier we fail to find three that he names — panther, bear, fire. On the other hand he fails to name one that occurs here — probably STARR —A STUDY OF A CENSUS OF THE PUEBLO OF COCHITI. 43 Shipewe—‘‘ a kind of sage.’’ Santiago Quintana says he does not think there has been a clan of the panther, or of the bear; at all events there have been no such within his memory. He has known several that have died within that period —viz.: Kutz (wood), Ha-ku-ni (fire) and Kir-shra (elk ). The clan oshatch is now reduced to four men and no women. Left to itself, it must disappear with their death. The clan yakke is really no better off. The only woman remaining has but one child and that is a boy. She is well on in years and is little likely to have daughters. With her death the last natural hope of the clan is gone. In all such cases there is one chance of perpetuating the clan — that is by the adoption into it of a girl from another clan. Juan de Jesus Pan- cho, who is well informed, tells me that this adoption was really performed re- cently in the case of the fire clan. He asserts that the last man of the Hakufi, before dying, adopted a girl named Ké-ai-ti-titz, who still lives to continue the clan. Quintana, however, insists that such an action is not recognized unless the proper officials are notified and says that if adoption took place in this case it is not valid for lack of proper declaration and recognition. Many suggestions regarding ideas of relationship come to the mind on a careful examination of the tables. The mere fact that, in the enumeration, the man’s name appears first in each household shows the giving away of the old views re- garding woman headship. The ancient idea of kin grouping, however, appears in many cases. Thus in the first household listed, while Santiago’s name heads the list it is easily seen that the household is one of Hafani. Santiago’s wife, not he, is the social centre. She and her danghters hold the house. He and his daugh- ters’ husbands representing Zanyz, 7z7tz and A/ztraani are tolerated therein. Another evidence of the giving away of the old conditions before the new is the fact that the children, though of the mother’s clan, bear the father’s family name. Interesting, however, is the fact that while this is true, the girl does not change her name when she marries. Her chz/dren may take their father’s name, but she does not. That No. 50 should live with No. 48 is in full accord with old ideas. José Francisco is the son of Adelaido’s sister and he can have no nearer relative among men than his maternal uncle. The boy is nearer related to his uncle than the little girl No. 51 is, although she is Adelaido’s own daughter. That Ventura Cordero, No. 29, should live with his father Santiago Cordero, No. 27, after his mother is dead or married elsewhere, is entirely discordant with ancient views and only explicable on the breaking down of the old and the setting up of the new system. Several times in the tables— Nos. 48.49, 72.73, 88.89, 172.173,—we observe a striking fact, the marriage of members of the same clan. Such a thing was not tolerated under the old system. Juan Pedro Melchoir and Ignacia Montoya, as 44 DAVENPORT ACADEMY OF NATURAL SCIENCES. being both Hitraani, could never have become man and wife. The sanction of the new creed has here broken down the ancient barrier. Membership in one clan is not necessarily relationship so close as to fall under the ban of the Church of Rome. The Indian yields to the church decision and to inclination and the wedding takes place. The total population of Cochiti, which is one of the Queres group of Pueblos, is now 273 persons—males 146, females 127. It is probable that just now the number is growing. At the taking of the government census in 1890 there were many died — 26 in asingle week. In the summer of 1895 a second attack carried off many others. But for the last two years the smitten community has prospered. ° ? 309 inhabitants.

THE studies recorded in this paper may be considered a continua- tion of those presented before the lowa Academy of Sciences and pub- lished in Vol. IV., p. 172, (1897) under the title ‘‘ Contributions to the Hemipterous Fauna of [owa.’’ As in that paper, the special effort has been to detail the life-his- tories of the various species and is mainly concerned with common species occurring in Iowa; but in a number of instances it has been necessary, in order to present a systematic arrangement of the known forms, to include the species occupying all portions of North America and in some instances to describe those which are new to science. The studies have been prosecuted primarily for the purpose of deter- mining the economic relations and importance of this group of insects and securing such facts as may furnish a scientific basis for dealing with those that are injurious to crops of the State. A paper dealing more particularly with the practical questions involved will appear in the report of the lowa Experiment Station for 1897. A REVIEW OF THE NORTH AMERICAN SPECIES OF AGALLIA. The members of this genus are all small and sombre-colored; the individuals of a species vary little in pattern, but much in depth of color; the males are invariably smaller and darker than the females. They are all single-brooded as far as known, the larve being usually found in the rubbish on the ground around the base of their respective food plants from which they emerge to feed, those of the first two groups maturing in the fall and passing the winter as pupz to issue as adults in early spring; those of the third group occurring in early summer, the adults appearing in July and August and hibernating to deposit eggs in early spring. [ Proc. D. A. N.S., Vou. VII.] 6 [ December 14, 1897.] 46 DAVENPORT ACADEMY OF NATURAL SCIENCES. The genus may be characterized as follows: Head, together with the eyes, wider than elytra at base; vertex transverse, crescentiform ; ocelli on the face between the eyes; antenne long, inserted under a feeble ledge, their bases partly visible, clypeus longer than wide, nearly rectangular; face as long or longer than width across eyes; pronotum long, anterior margin strongly rounding and extending forward below the eyes, side margin short or obsolete; elytra without an appendix; five apical and three anteapical cells; second transverse nervure some- times present; marginal nerve of wing continued around apex, forming a supernumerary cell; color varying from whitish to dark fuscous, scarcely ever more than a trace of red, yellow or green, two round black spots on vertex rarely wanting. The North American representatives of the genus may be readily divided into three groups, easily separable on adult characters, but which are even more strongly marked in those of the larvz and in the life histories. The species of the first group have the pronotum finely granulated without transverse striations, ornamented with two large spots near the posterior margin; the vertex is nearly parallel, the front expanded on the basal part; elytra brownish with light nervures, the base of the apical cells in a transverse line. The known larve are compact, red- dish brown forms with long wing pads and compressed, dorsally, ser- rately carinate abdomen. Eyes much wider than the pronotum, which they partly enclose. The vertex is nearly flat above with two lobe- like projections arising from the anterior margin against the eyes and extending forward, or forward and inward, giving the insect a very grotesque appearance. ‘They are found in the rubbish around the base of different plants, but only in moist and shady places. Of the group, 4-punciata and constricta are typical representatives in their respective habitats and are closely related to the European szvwaza. In the second group the pronotum is finely granulated as in the first, but the two round spots are near the middle. The posterior margin of the vertex is elevated and carried forward between the eyes, appear- ing as a transverse line in the middle, front wedge-shaped, broad but not distinctly lobed above. ‘The elytra are long and narrow and the apices of the anteapical cells are nearly in line. The larve are red- dish-brown in color like those of the first group and are similar in form except the vertex. The entire posterior margin of the vertex is ele- vated and carried obliquely upward and forward before the eyes on the same plane as the face, the upper carinate margin being shallowly OSBORN AND BALL-—STUDIES OF NORTH AMERICAN JASSOIDEA. 47 roundingly bilobed. They are found in similar situations with those of the first group, and while in appearance the lobate form of the ver- tex in the two groups is not strikingly different, yet when it is borne in mind that in the first case the lobe is simply an inflation of the an- terior margin, while in the second it is the reflexed and elevated pos- terior margin, the difference in form of the adult vertices is readily understood. The third group is characterized by a transversely striated pronotum on which the dark markings, if any, are in longitudinal bands and not in round spots on the posterior half. The front is very broad and suddenly constricted to meet the clypeus. ‘The elytral nervures in the terminal portion are usually darker and more or less irregular, the central anteapical cell extending beyond the others. The larve are light-colored with dark lines, small, compact form, with a rounded par- allel-margined vertex very similar to that of the adults, and short, ele- vated abdomen. ‘They appirently prefer dry and exposed situations. This group includes the last five species, of which saxguznolenta is abundant and widely distributed and is closely related to the European venosa and the South American szgrzata.

Front broad and short, superior third abruptly expanded over the antennal bases, suture above nearly transverse, slightly arcuated and angled medially. Pronotum very finely punctured, more than twice wider than long, anterior margin strongly produced between the eyes, broadly depressed either side of the middle, lateral margin obsolete, the humeral margin touching the eye, posterior margin slightly emarginate. Scutellum equilaterally tri- angular, the apex produced. Elytra broad, convex, slightly longer than abdomen; at rest the costal margins are wider than across eyes, giving the insect a very compact appearance; venation very constant with the exception of the second cross nervure, which is often want- ing, the bases of the four inner apical cells in a transverse line. Ab- domen slightly crested. Color: Above, obscure yellowish—brown, vertex yellowish—brown with two oblique black spots equidistant from each other and eyes, a faint brownish median line extending down to frontal suture, below which is lined with darker, antennal pits broadly black, facial sutures and tip of clypeus dark brown, sometimes brownish arcs on front, em- phasized in two lateral rows of fuscous points. Pronotum yellowish- brown, darker in front, two distinct black spots near the posterior margin slightly larger and farther apart than those on the head. In highly colored examples there appears a median brown line, an oblique crescent near the humeral margin, and the anterior depressions become much darker. Elytra uniformly smoky subhyaline with lighter ner- vures, tergum and venter varying from yellow to fuscous, last ventral segment and genitalia light-yellow in both sexes. Genitalia: 2, ultimate ventral segment broad, slightly narrowing behind, anterior and posterior margins parallel, posterior margin usu- ally arcuated or angularly elevated, giving it an emarginate appear- ance; pygofers broad and short, less than twice the length of the ul- timate segment. o': Valve large, twice broader than long, lateral margin enclosing base of plates, posterior margin obtusely medially produced, plates together forming a triangle slightly longer than wide at the base, one-half longer than valve. Specimens arevat hand from Ont., N. YesN:E:,,D. C.,-Ia., Kans., Ky., Ark., Neb., and Colo. 50 DAVENPORT ACADEMY OF NATURAL SCIENCES. Nymph: Compact, reddish-brown, with prominent eyes, stout, short legs, vertex prolonged on either side of the middle third into a flat process, abdomen with a median notched carina; length, 3 mm. Vertex nearly flat, projecting forward, parallel-margined for more than half of its length in front of the eyes, middle third of anterior »? margin cleft half-way to base, leaving two flat ‘‘horns’’ longest on lateral margins, where they equal their width at base, their anterior margins obliquely rounding to the medial cleft, face similar to adult, upper part of front projected on either side into an elevated rounded lobe which overhangs the base of the long antennz, thoracic shield equalling the abdomen in length, medially carinate, abdomen short and narrow, above compressed into a high keel, each segment being elevated most on the posterior margin, giving it a serrate appearance. Legs stout, more adapted to walking; whole surface roughly and irreg- ularly pitted. While at first sight this appears to be a very distinct form it agrees with the Pedzopsis larva in the crested abdomen and except for the projections on the vertex bears a striking resemblance to the larva of Tettigonia bifida. Life history: Larvae and pup were collected first October 12 of last year and were determined to be U. canadensis, V. D., and so re- ported in the ‘‘ Additions to List of Hemiptera of lowa.’’* They were again collected from sheltered situations January 1, 1897, (a very warm day). Early in May they were again found and placed in breeding cages and soon emerged as Agadlia g-punctata females, the males prob- ably having issued before. They are single-brooded, the adults ap- pearing in early spring, the females remaining until into July. The eggs are probably all deposited by the middle of June, from which the larve appear in July and by fall are nearly or quite full grown, passing the winter and issuing as adults again early the next spring. ‘They have been found on a great variety of plants, mostly pertaining to the composite, horse-radish, beet, Helianthus, Eupatorium,etc. The larve remain on or near the ground and conceal themselves in the rubbish and humus for which their color and appearance is peculiarly adapted. They only occur in shaded locations or on such plants as horse- radish, beets, etc., that furnish a deep shade and a moist humus. The adults are usually found on the younger portions of the stems and may be taken in abundance from Lupatortum in May. * Proc. Iowa Acad. Sci., Vol. IV., p. 231.

A species represented in our material by a number of examples from Southern California and Palo Alto, Cal., should probably be referred here and they would fall under the third division of the synopsis next to saz- guinolenta, from which they may be separated by the larger size, longer elytra, and female segment and the tubular plates in the male. DESCRIPTIONS OF EARLY STAGES AND NEW SPECIES OF BYTHOSCOPID:. Macropsis APICALIS n. sp. (Plate II., Fig.1.) Form of vobustus nearly, somewhat larger, elytra longer; green, the elytra sub-hyaline with green pubescence, infuscate at the apex. Length, 2,5 mm.; 6’, 4.5 mm.; width, 2, 1.8 mm.; od’, 1.3 mm. Vertex over three times wider than long, as long as the eye, margins parallel, slightly curved, anterior margin rounding to the face, face half wider than long, front tumid, clypeus and gene flat. Pronotum large, two and one-half times the length of the vertex, twice wider than long, side margins very long, carinate, surface with fine but dis- tinct transverse striations, scutellum large, transversely striate, elytra full three times longer than wide, margins nearly parallel, less convex than in vodustus, clavus with the apex obliquely truncate, inner apical cell wanting, confluent with the broad appendix, the marginal nerve becoming obsolete not far from the base, fourth apical cell narrow at the apex, next two short, broad behind, three anteapical cells, the outer one smaliest, whole surface of elytra except the broad appendix clothed with short, remote hairs. Color: Bright-green, pronotum shiny, elytra appearing lighter from the reflection of the light-green hairs, the apex of clavus, tip of OSBORN AND BALL —STUDIES OF NORTH AMERICAN JASSOIDEA. 65 second sector, the line separating the appendix from corium, and aspot on the margin of each apical cell, black; legs and below, deep-green, tarsi blackish at the tip. Genitalia; 2, ultimate segment twice wider than long, rounding, or slightly produced with aslight notch; ’, valve long, parallel mar- gined, rounding behind, angularly elevated along the median line. Described from numerous examples collected from the honey locust at Ames and Sioux City, Iowa, and one from West Point, Neb. Larve: Similar in form to the adult, very noticeable for their large pronotum and the entire dorsal surface being covered with stout hairs, bright-green, those on more exposed situations, brownish. This is a common species on the honey locust wherever it has been examined, but has never been found elsewhere. There are two broods in a year, the adults appearing in June and again in September. It is intermediate in size between vodustus and /aefa, but differing from both in venation and in the elytral hair being light-green. ByTHOSCoPUS DISTINCTUS V. D. (Plate II., Fig. 2.) General form similar to the preceding, about one-third smaller, head green, reduced to a curved line bordering the rounding pronotum, narrower than the dark-brown eyes. Pronotum greenish, coarsely pitted with black, darker behind the eyes, scutellum triangular, green, with the corners black, wings with a broad band at base, the tip and a narrow band before it black; in light specimens the whole wing is of a grayish slate except for a black spot in place of the middle band. Larve: Stout green forms with thicker, blunter heads than the adults, nearly straight-margined, with a few long hairs projecting for- ward, body large, plump, abdomen ridged above, the sides with a flap- like margin which fits around the sides of the leaf-stem, or twig upon which the insect rests. This species occurs in abundance on black walnut and butternut and adults have been found on hickory and hackberry, but only where they were adjacent to the first-named trees. Full-grown larve and freshly- issued adults were found the second week in June; a few days later the larve had all issued, the adults remaining abundant until into July. The second brood of larvze appeared before the middle of August, the adults again in the latter part of September, to hibernate and deposit eggs in the spring. 66 DAVENPORT ACADEMY OF NATURAL SCIENCES. PEDIOPSIS (FRISTIS | Ver) (Plate wy cigs 3.) This is a large, narrow, grayish-brown species from one-fifth to one- fourth of an inch long. ‘The head from above appears only as a light line from the eyes around the angular point of the pronotum. The pronotum has a narrow light margin behind and is covered with fine light hairs, the wings are slightly transparent, setting off the dark- margined raised veins. Easily recognized by the face below being light-greenish with a large black spot in the middle below the eyes and a band on the margin above. The larvz are very similar in form to those of B. astinctus, but the abdomen is not as strongly ridged and the head is broader. They are reddish-brown above, marked with whitish on some of the sutures, and with four dark-margined light spots in the form of a square on the body. The whole surface is covered with fine white hairs, giving a light reflection. The face is light with a large black spot as in the adult. The species seems to be strictly confined to plum trees, to which it is admirably adapted in color. They were found to occur most abund- antly on the native plums but have been taken from cultivated varieties. The larve appear in May and have all issued as adults by the end of June. ‘The first adults appear about the third week in June and are found abuudantly throughout July, disappearing before the middle of August. PEDIOPSIS FERRUGINOIDES V. D. (Plate II., Fig. 4.) This is a very pretty rusty-red species a little larger than wrddis, being nearly one-fourth of an inch long (5 mm.); the females vary from reddish-orange all over except for a large transparent spot before the end of the wings to dark reddish-brown; in this case the light spot extends clear across the wings, dividing the dark up into two parts. The larvze are yellow and brown in general imitation of the adult, the head and pronotum yellow, the rest of the body brown with a trans- verse band across the back of the wing pads and another across the abdomen. They occur on the narrow-leaved willows, very commonly. The larve were found early in June, from which the males began to issue late in the month and the females by the first of July. The males soon after disappeared, the females remaining through the month. OSBORN AND BALL—STUDIES OF NORTH AMERICAN JASSOIDEA. 67 PEDIOPSIS SUTURALIS N. sp. Form of ferruginoides nearly, bright-green with the the entire claval areas black, approaching éasazs in size and ornamentation, but with a much more produced vertex. Length of 2, 6 mm.; width, 1.75 mm. o' smaller. Vertex little more than half the length of the eye, forming nearly a right angle in front, the center of the eve behind the middle of the vertex; front very flat, acutely angled above; pronotum finely wrin- kled, nearly twice longer on middle than across the humeral angle to the eye, posterior margin shallowly emarginate, elytra long, round- ingly angled behind. Color: Bright green on face, pronotum and scutellum, a black stripe arising just back of either eye, widening backwards to the hu- meral angle, usually leaving a small green spot on the outer angle of the pronotum next the eye, the entire claval area of the elytra deep black, sharply and definitely bounded by the claval suture until just before the apex of clavus, when it crosses the suture and extends as a gradually narrowing stripe around to the tip of the wing, corium greenish on basal portion, hyaline beyond. Eyes reddish, propleura unmarked. Described from one male and seven females from Ames, lowa, and one female from the Van Duzee Collection (Colden, N. Y.) Larve similar in form to those of ferruginoides, head very broad, transverse or slightly rounding ; eyes prominent, thorax stout, convex ; abdomen short, broad, dorsally carinate. Color, green, a black stripe arising behind either eye asin the adult, but running back across the wing pads and along the abdomen just within the margin, widest near the end of the wing pads, where it curves out and becomes narrower on the abdomen. The larvee appear on willows about the first of June and even then show the unmistakable black line; adults trom the first of July on into August. Readily distinguished from other described species by its black dorsal shield. It might be mistaken for dasa/s, with the basal mark elongated, but for its sharp vertex. PEDIOPSIS GLEDITSCHIL Nn. sp. Form and color of wrid7s nearly, about one-third smaller, with a slightly shorter, rounder vertex, approaching veversa/is in size but much 68 DAVENPORT ACADEMY OF NATURAL SCIENCES. darker green, propleura unmarked in either sex. Length, ,2 4.5~—5 mm.; width, 1.25 mm.; oJ slightly smaller, darker. Head compact, eyes small, a line across their centers cutting off less than one-third of the pronotum, vertex slightly, roundingly, obtusely angled, distinctly shorter than in w77dis. Pronotum very finely gran- ulated, posterior margin angularly excavated, disc strongly convex, depressed within and behind either eye, elytra moderately long, broadly and evenly rounded behind. Color: Females, bright-green, the elytra hyaline at the tip; males, the head and pronotum green, the elytra clouded with brownish or dark fuscous, the costal margin green, scutellum yellowish or clouded with fuscous in the darker examples. Below, green in both sexes, the propleura without a black spot in either sex. Described from numerous examples. Larve very similar to wrzdzs, short and stout, with transverse heads, thorax convex, shiny, abdomen broad, crested, each segment of the crest elevated into a flat curved tooth projecting backward and tipped with a hair; color, bright green. Found exclusively on the honey locust along with JZacropsis, the larve appearing in May and maturing before the middle of June, the adults throughout June and the first half of July. They are found at the base along the sides of the leaf stalks. This species might easily be confused with zrzdis, but the female is only as large as the wrzdis male while the males are still smaller and lack the spot on the pro- pleura. Deeply-colored males have the elytra almost black instead of brown, as in zévzdis. These characters, along with the very distinct and constant difference in food plant and life history, leave no ques- tion as to specific identity. PEDIOPSIS CROCEA N. sp., (gleditschi@ ? var.) Form of dasais nearly, smaller, with short, stout elytra which are scarcely longer than the abdomen and are inclined to be flaring be- hind as in “sts; bright saffron yellow, the elytra clouded with brown. Length, 2 5 mm.; width, 1.5 mm.; males smaller. Head short, depressed, the pronotum very much elevated behind, the anterior margin depressed, obtusely angled before, the rugz coarse and distinct, a median raised line. Scutellum very coarsely rugose, a triangular spot in each basal angle shagreened. Elytra strong, nerv- ures distinct, lighter. OSBORN AND BALL—STUDIES OF NORTH AMERICAN JASSOIDEA. 69 Color: Face and pronotum bright saffron-yellow, scutellum light- yellow, sometimes with the basal angles clouded. Elytra clouded with brown, deepest on the claval areas and fading out to light-yellow before reaching the costal margin, sutural and humeral margins with a narrow saffron-yellow line. Below, light-yellow, claws brown, pro- pleura unmarked. In two examples the elytra are scarcely clouded, being light-hyaline yellowish throughout. Described from eight females and five males collected on honey lo- cust at Lexington, Ky., by H. Garman. Its occurrence on this food plant suggests identity with the preced- ing species, but aside from the striking and apparently constant differ- ence in color (which might possibly be referred to fading or variabil- ity) there seems to be some differences in form of head and other de- tails which, if in any degree constant, would be of specific value. PEDIOPSIS REVERSALIS N. sp. Allied to punctfrons but larger, in size intermediate between that species and gleditschie. Light-green, the male with two broad, black stripes across the face, tips of the legs, and a spot on the propleura black. Length, 2 4.50 mm.; 3’ 4 mm.; width, about 1.25 mm. Head short, stout, more obtusely angled than in g/editschia, a line across the eyes scarcely cutting off a third of the vertex. vertex with much finer striations than in punctifrons, less excavated behind, the disc equally convex, but not as strongly pitted in front. Elytra moderately strong, venation regular, not strongly marked. Color: Light-green, pronotum and face washed with yellow in the female, male with a broad black band along the upper margin of the face extending down to the middle of the front in a triangular point ; below this, between the lower margins of the eyes, is a still broader black band, propleura with a round black spot, tips of the anterior pairs of tibiz and tarsi annulate with black. In some of the males the band on the face is reduced to three black spots, one on the apex above and one just within and below each ocellus. The females are entirely unmarked except that in some cases the propleura has a faint spot. Described from twenty-four males and twenty-four females collected from willows at Ames, Iowa, from the middle of June until into August, and three males ‘rom the Van Duzee collection from Col- gen, N.Y. Proc.}D. A.'N.{S., Vou. VII.] 9 { January 7, 1898.] 7° DAVENPORT ACADEMY OF NATURAL SCIENCES. This is the second American species of the spotted-face group so common in Europe, and represents the section in which the nerves are concolorous with the elytra, while puwnctfrons represents the col- ored nerved section. ‘The spots on the male face are very variable, sometimes covering half the surface and again nearly wanting. The three males from New York are of this type, the spot on the propleura also wanting, as it is in a few of those from Iowa. A damayed female from Denver, Colo., is also apparently of this species. IDIOCERUS ALTERNATUS Fitch. (Plate II., Fig. 1.) This common species is slightly over one-fifth of an inch long with a broad head curving around the pronotum. The middle bears a large reddish-brown blotch, just outside of which, on top, there are two small black spots on a yellow band that extends to the eyes. The pronotum is reddish-brown and usually there is a white stripe down the middle. The wings are partly transparent, the veins being dark in some places and light in others, alternating, a light spot near the center of the median line. The eggs are about one mm. long by about one fifth of a mm. wide, cylindrical, slightly curved, tapering gradually to a point at one side of the smaller end and cut off obliquely to an obtuse point on the op- posite side at the large end. They are deposited in the young wood, near the tip of a branch, usually close to a bud, sometimes singly, more often three or four near each other. In either case the twig would enlarge at the spot and finally burst open and show the end of the egg in the seam. If many eggs were deposited in a twig, as was the case in the cage experiments, it usually died, while if only a few were deposited in a place, as was the case in the field, it sometimes continued to grow, though weak and distorted. The final result on the trees under observation was that over one third of the branches had their tips killed back or distorted, usually the main stem and larger branches being worst affected, probably owing to their more rapid growth in the spring, offering a more favorable place for depo- sition than the slow-growing side branches. The larve are brownish with light rings or greenish with dark ones according to the amount of exposure of their position, in either case closely imitating the bark upon which they rest. ‘The dark rings are made up of about twelve hair-bearing spots on the hind margin of each segment. OSBORN AND BALL—STUDIES OF NORTH AMERICAN JASSOIDEA. 71 Life History: The adults pass the winter under the leaves and rub- bish in the woods, becoming active quite early in the spring. Some eggs were deposited before the middle of May and from then on nearly through the month. The first larve were found the last week in May, when a number hatched in the cases and a few were found in the field, the majority not appearing until in June, the egg stage lasting nearly three weeks in the breeding cage where the. temperature was fairly constant, probably a little longer under the changeable spring weather out-of-doors. The larve burst through the projecting top of the egg and are quite active from the start. When first hatched they are nearly white except for their red eyes; the head is nearly twice the breadth of the body. Within a few days they become greenish in color and their body is much larger proportionately. The larve are abundant throughout June and well into July, the adults beginning to issue the first week, and from then on through the month, remaining abundant through August. The second brood was not as closely watched. ‘The larvz appeared early in September and the adults soon after, remaining abundant until cold weather sent them under cover. IDIOCERUS MONILIFER# n. sp.

Pronotum rather short, elytra broad, the appen- dix narrow, only slightly overlapping behind. Venation distinct, the nerves strong, thickly set with minute tubercles, outer anteapical cell wanting, the outer branch of the outer fork of the first sector curving away to the costa immediately, or at most forming a small triangular cell in the fork. Color: Dull cinnamon-brown. Vertex and face tawny-yellow, a pair of black spots on the vertex and an olive brown area between them and extending nearly down to the dark ocelli, pronotum olive- brown, testaceous on the depressed spots behind the eyes, scutellum cinnamon-brown in the female, yellowish with three triangles on the base and two spots on the disc black in the male. Elytra brownish sub-hyaline, nervures brown, dark at apex. Described from numerous examples. OSBORN AND BALL. —STUDIES OF NORTH AMERICAN JASSOIDEA. 73 Larve very distinct, yellowish and reddish-brown, forms with stout bodies and broad roundingly transverse heads, the whole upper sur- face clothed with long coarse hairs. The abdomen is rather broad for this genus and there are about twelve hair-bearing tubercles in a row near the posterior margin of each segment. Color: Head yellow, brownish in front ; pronotum yellow, behind which there is a brown cloud and the margins ot the abdomen are brown, broadest in the middle, the disc yellow. Genitalia: @, ultimate segment about half longer than the penulti- mate, posterior margin broadly roundingly produced on the middle half, with an obtuse median notch, pygofers short, less than half longer than their width at base. ', valve long, posterior margin produced in an acute median tooth, plates short, stout, curved upward. The cinnamon color and the simpler elytral venation render this a very distinct species in our fauna. It occurs abundantly on willows at Ames, and has been received from Nebraska. There are two broods in a season, one in July and the other in September, the latter hibernating and depositing eggs in the spring, which hatch out by the first of June. IDIOCERUS MACULIPENNIS Fitch. (Plate II., Fig. 4.) This is a very bright chestnut-brown species with light markings; the head is very short and the eyes curve around the pronotum and do not stand out as in the willow species. The face is light-yellow with a red stripe down the middle and two large black spots on the side above. ‘There is a light spot on the pronotum, a v-shaped mark on the scutellum and another of the same color on the wings; the outer margins of the wings are very dark except for a white patch be- fore the tip. The larve are dark reddish-brown, sometimes blackish in color with broad, blunt heads and prominent eyes. They are very active and though readily seen, are very difficult to capture, dodging around a limb whenever approached. They occur very commonly on hawthorn and crab apple trees, the larvee appearing in May. The earlier ones mature by the middle of June and the last early in July; the adults common the latter half of ‘June and nearly through July. The adults were again common the last of August and early in September. 714 DAVENPORT ACADEMY OF NATURAL SCIENCES. NEW SPECIES, DIMORPHIC FORMS AND EARLY STAGES OF JASSID.

Genitalia: Ultimate ventral segment long, convex, the posterior margin very slightly produced on the middle half, pygofers remarkably long, extending beyond and entirely concealing the ovipositor, their acute tips compressed above, slightly divergent below, and fringed with fine hairs. Described from two females collected at Little Rock, Iowa, July 1, 1897. The genus Dorycephalus was founded on two female examples de- scribed as D. éaert trom Southeastern Russia, and up to the present time the male has not been described. The only other species of the genus so far described, and the only one of which the life history or the male is known, is D. platyrhynchus. ‘Vhe examples of D. vanduzet were swept from high prairie land where the only grass with a stem apparently large enough to support them was Sporobolus cuspidatus. If the life history is similar to that of D. platyrhynchus these were the last of a brood, the males having all disappeared some time before. From our knowledge of the latter species it may be inferred that the males will be smaller, dark-colored and with a shorter head, long ely- tra and fully developed wings. and that there will also be a macrop- terous form of the female occurring in limited numbers and soon dis- appearing, while the brachypterous form, which is still. clumsier than that of the D. platyrhynchus, probably rarely leaves the original host plant. DELTOCEPHALUS IMPUTANS N. Sp.

They abundantly suffice to determine the purpose and the Aztec name of these bones. While Biart,! Brinton,? Orozco y Berra,3 Sahagun,+ Tez- ozomoc,> and others refer to them, two quotations will suffice to show (1) what these notched bones were called and how they were used, and (2) that they were sometimes buried with the dead. In a foot-note to the description of the funeral ceremonies of the ruler Axayacatl given by Tezozomoc, Orozco y Berra says: ‘‘ The omichicahuaz was not properly a rattle: this musical instrument, if it can be so called, consisted of a bone of a deer, sometimes of a man, with deep incisions perpendicular to its length, from which resulted parts successively depressed and elevated: this notched surface was rubbed either with another bone or with a shell, producing a sound not particularly agreeable. We have examined in the collection of our friend Alfredo Chavero, a fossil elephant rib, converted into this instrument, very similar to one used by African negroes.” (Translation.) This word omichicahuaz is variously spelled. Thus it occurs as omichicahuaz, umichicahuaz, humichicahuaz, omichicaoatzi. Wr. Brinton states the etymology os omz¢/ —bone, chicahuac—strong. The second passage for our purpose is from Orozco y Berra’s A7zs- torta. (\.c.) ‘The author there presents an account of Axayacatl’s funeral ceremonies apparently abridged from Tezozomoc. From it we translate: ‘¢ . . The body was covered with four garments one over the other, “The first of Hwitzilopochtli.7.. + ; the second of the god a alOGS:5 eS ass ; the third garment of the god Yohualahua, for the head the feather “lawhquechotzontli, in the hand a deer’s bone notched such as is employed in certain dances for making noise, called humz- chicahuaz, and in the other hand a staff with timbrels ; the fourth gar- ment was that of the god Quetzalcoatl....... Me We certainly have in these passages adequate description of such notched bones as we are studying. They are asserted to be musical instruments and it is stated that they were at times buried with the 1. Biart: Zhe Aztecs, p. 305- 2. Brinton: Ancient Nahuatl Poetry, p. 24. 3. Orozco y Berra: F/zst.

Many if not most of them show plain signs of wear produced by some- thing rubbed across the notched space. This wear is easily recognized after attention is directed to it. In the Lumholtz collection there is but one perfect humerus. Such a humerus is pictured in Plate vi. of Hrdlicka’s paper. Dr. Hrdlicka says of it, (p. 72) ‘¢ No rubbing over the markings apparent on the bone.’’ Yet in the photo-reproduction given rubbing is f/azz/y shown. Not all, but most, of the specimens from the State of Mexico show this wear distinctly, and it is of just such character as would be produced by the scraping of a bone back and forth. Moreover it is possible to tell in which direction the stronger down rub was made, as contrasted with the lighter return. In Mr. Lumholtz’s specimens there is a hole in one end of the bones (especially the femora) apparently for the purpose of removing the marrow. Mr. Lumholtz lays considerable stress upon this point. If the bones were to be used for rubbing time for dancers, would not dryness be desirable and would not this be more quickly gained by re- moval of the marrow? While this appears to us reasonable, it should be mentioned that the series here studied does not have such holes in them. Two devices for rubbing time somewhat similar to the omchicahuaz are known to as in use among modern Indian tribes in the United States. lonkaway women in certain dances use notched sticks across which bones are rubbed to give time. One end of the stick is rested against the ground, or better upon the bottom of a pan or other vessel ; the other end is held up by the left hand; the bone, taken in the right hand, is rubbed strongly down and more lightly back. ‘The result is much more musical and much less disagreeable than might be ex- pected ; the rhythm is excellent and the aid to song and dance con- siderable. I secured several of these sticks among the Tonkaways in 1893 and one of them is represented in our plate, side by side with some notched bones for comparison. Particular attention should be paid to the wear resulting from the rubbing in both cases. Very sim- ilar rubbing sticks—and some presenting points of difference—are used among some of our Pueblo Indians. An excellent specimen from Wolpi, the notched stick and the scapula used for scraping across it, is illustrated in James Stevenson’s Catalogue. ‘These notched sticks of the Tonkaways and Pueblos are the exact representative, still in use among living tribes, of the ancient notched bone—the omzchthuaz—of the old Mexicans.

A SHELL INSCRIPTION FROM TULA, MEXICO. BY FREDERICK STARR. PERHAPS the most interesting piece of carved shell so far found in Mexico is the specimen now to be described. It was found at Tula, a town lying fifty miles north of the City of Mexico, famous as one of the localities explored by Charnay and one of the traditional sites of the Toltecs. The specimen at one time belonged to Dr. Antonio Penafiel and will be figured and discussed by him in his great work on San Juan de Teotihuacan. As this work, from its great cost, will have but a small circulation, it seems desirable to place the specimen within reach of a larger number of students than are likely to be its readers. The specimen consists of a rather irregularly shaped fragment of hatiotts shell. t has suffered from time’s effect and shows a danger- ous tendency to splinter and scale. The material is nacreous and still retains much of its lustre and some of its play of color particularly on the outer, convex, surface. The fragment has been trimmed and ground to an imperfectly rectangular form; one corner is quite sharply right angled and the two edges there meeting plainly show the opera- tion of grinding. On the inner, concave, surface are three drilled holes. Two of these, near the right hand border, are carried com- pletely through the specimen and were apparently intended for the passage of a cord for suspension. These holes were drilled with a solid drill and from both sides; the lower one is smooth bore and of nearly uniform diameter ; the upper more plainly shows the drilling as done from both sides and is smaller at the middle where the two drill- ings meet. The diameter of these holes is about 4mm. The third hole is situated near the upper left hand corner but was never bored entirely through the shell. On the outer, convex, surface we also find three holes: two are those already described as piercing the piece and are near the left hand border; the other, never finished though carried almost through, is near the right hand border, not far from the bot- tom. The specimen measures 93mm. in height, 57mm. in greatest breadth and not more than 8mm. in thickness. The whole inner, concave, surface is occupied by an elaborate carv- ing representing a seated figure. The legs are crossed, the feet bare; STARR—A SHELL INSCRIPTION FROM TULA, MEXICO. 10g ornamental bands surround the ankles. A band passes around the waist and from it there appears to hang some sort of an apron or other ornament. The left arm is akimbo and the hand, with fingers bent at the knuckles rests upon the knee; a cuff or ornamental band surrounds the wrist. Of the right arm only the shoulder and extreme upper part are visible, the rest being broken off. About the neck is a necklace of aimost circular large beads, eight of which are plainly shown. From it there hangs over the breast a plate or ornament, apparently of jade (as the piece much resembles the conventional Aztec sign for {‘Proc, D. A. N. S., Vou, VII.] 13 { November 11, 1898. | 1 Te) DAVENPORT ACADEMY OF NATURAL SCIENCES. chalchihuitd or greenstone); it consists of a plain elliptical or nearly elliptical central face surrounded by a beaded border. From it in turn hangs a pendant consisting of a broader central band and two narrower divergent pieces. The ear contains an ear-disk with pendant. The face, shown in profile, is notable for its prognathism, the strong some- what aquiline nose, and the retreating, perhaps artificially deformed forehead. The forehead is crossed by a plaited band, above which rises an elaborate helmet head-dress with crest of long pendant plumes. The carving is handsome and boldly done. The workmanship is more Mayan than Aztecan or Zapotecan. This Mayan character of the art is in keeping with the inscription on the reverse of the specimen, which is the feature most deserving of careful study. This is located in the lower part of the upper third of the piece. The characters composing it are four in number and are contained in rectangular spaces formed by straight deeply-cut lines ; these form a continuous band across the specimen. ‘Two of these spaces are entire; the other two are partially destroyed. The charac- ters contained within them are clearly related to the ‘‘calculiform’’ characters of Mayan inscriptions on monoliths, pottery vessels and carved greenstones and to those of the codices. ‘The figure given in the plate gives a perfect idea of the characters, their arrangement and their position. For purposes of comparison, however, they are repre- sented here inaspecial cut. This has been made by taking a tracing over the photograph and then perfecting it. Should these characters prove, as I believe, to be Mayan we are nat- urally, though not zecessarily, led to one of two startling conclusions: (a) That the calculiform characters were already developed and were in use at Tula, far outside of the recognized Mayan region, be- fore the abandonment of that city—or (b) that relations of trade and barter connected Tula, at the time of its occupancy, with some Mayan region—presumably to the East, South, or Southeast. OSBORN AND BALL—THE GENUS PEDIOPSIS., II Pay THE GENUS PEDIOPSIS. (A Review of the North American Species.) BY HERBERT OSBORN AND ELMER D. BALL. This genus is one of the most difficult of the /asso¢dea in which to define species, for although with fresh specimens there is little diffi- culty in separation, and in most cases the host plant of itself will decide as between the species most likely to be confused, still, as a group, the species are remarkably alike in structural characters, the variations being usually those of degree rather than of kind. The genitalia, the ordinary recourse when other characters fail, are utterly valueless, the variation for the whole group being scarcely more than the ordinary variability in a species. The few structural characters available, together with the color have, however, been found sufficient to readily and accurately sepa- rate those species under observation in a series of life-history studies in the group,* and as the result of the determination of the range of variation in these species, it has been found much easier to refer some of the more widely variable examples of other species to their proper places. The greatest difficulty in working over material in this group arises from the fact that the green color in most of the green species ‘« fades’’ or changes to a dirty yellowish when immersed in alcohol or on exposure to a strong light, thus altering very much the appearance of the specimen. The black marking on the propleura has been found to be fairly constant in most of the species in which it exists, and is the readiest means of separating some species; but as it is often only a sexual character and sometimes fails when it is needed the most, as in some of the lighter colored females of fervvugznoides, it has been thought best to depend on other characters for the synopsis and thus leave it as a sort of check, except in the case of occzdentalts where, with our imper- fect knowledge of the species, it appears to be the best character avail- able for the purpose. * Dav. Acad. Sci., Vol. VII., 1897, and Ia. Exp. Sta. Rept., 1897. 112 DAVENPORT ACADEMY OF NATURAL SCIENCES. The material upon which this paper is based consists of the types of the Van Duzee species together with the entire collection upon which his review of the genus was founded; the types of the Osborn and Ball species with an extensive series of the Iowa forms, the result of the life history work; typical specimens of the two Gillette and Baker species, as well as a series of the Colorado forms through the kindness of Prof. Gillette, together with numerous smaller series from different parts of the country, mentioned under the species. Van Duzee has so thoroughly characterized the genus * that there is little to add in that respect. In the determination of the species he was less fortunate, as on exam- ination of a large series the specimens determined as Fitch’s ¢v7macu- Jata proved to be only an obscurely marked form of dzfasczaza, often found in specimens collected late in the season, and as a result of this error the real ¢vimaculata was described as zuszgnis. Still, too much credit cannot be given for the careful and painstaking manner in which he brought out specific characters, hampered as he was by the insuffi- ciency of the material at hand. Of two of his species, punctifrons and occidentalis, no new material is at hand so that nothing further in regard to their variation can be given, and of canadensis only two additional females, both too much altered in color to aid in characterizing that species, have been seen. Of most of the rest of the species an abundance of material has been at hand showing the ordinary variation of the species and the normal differences in the sexes. Although doubtless somewhat artificial, the grouping in the synopsis is an attempt to show some of the more prominent variations in the generic type and their probable relationship. In the first group are placed species like ¢zstzs, with stout bodies, strong elytra, and deep colors. The second group includes all the species with transversely banded elytra and is closely connected to the third by dz/asczata, in which the second band is often obsolete. The species of the fourth or w7¢dzs group all have males much smaller and darker than the females. The punctifrons group is probably the most distinct and easily recog- nizable of all; here the males as seen from above scarcely differ in size * Review of the North American Species of Pediopsis, Ent. Amer., Vol. V., pp. 165-174, Sept., 1889. OSBORN AND BALL—-THE GENUS PEDIOPSIS. Il3 or color from the females, but the face is usually more strongly marked. It would seem as if this group came nearer the European wrescens than either wrzais or occidentalis, the former species possessing both a spot on the face and the green color in the males. The members of this genus are widely distributed throughout the North Temperate Zone, Europe possessing a larger number of species than are at present known in America, none, however, being common to the two countries though a number are closely related. They are almost exclusively tree feeding forms; the twelve North American species of which the food plants are known are all tree feed- ers, and most of the European species are so credited. In both countries the greatest number of species, and those the most abundant and widely distributed, occur on the different species of wil- lows ; besides these in this country the cottonwoods, the wild plums and the honey locust each have two species, while of three species, canadensis, occidentalis, and punctifrons, nothing is known as to food plants. The two latter are closely related to willow feeding forms in both countries, and it may be conjectured that they will also be found to occur on willows. The larvee are all short, stout-bodied forms; the head is short and straight, appearing from above as a narrow band in front of the broad, straight-margined pronotum, which is slightly emarginate at the anter- ior corners to receive the eyes; the abdomen is broad and short, rounded on the lateral margins and dorsally carinate. In color they usually mimic some part of the tree on which they feed and are detected with difficulty when at rest. The larve and adults are often very nearly alike in color, but the characteristic anterior angle of the adult is entirely wanting in the larve, those with acutely angled heads, having in the larve as short, straight heads as their blunter headed relatives. The only noticeable difference is a slightly increased width between the eyes, the anterior angling of the pronotum and the consequent production of the head taking place entirely during the change to the adult. In this respect they agree with the By/hoscopus larve, and both forms show a much closer rela- tionship to /d@ocerus through their larvee than would appear from the adult structure. On the other hand Aga/ia, though closely resem- bling /docerus in adult characters, seems to depart most widely from it in the larval stage. All the species in which the life history is known are single-brooded. The larvae appear during early summer and usually mature by the last 114 DAVENPORT ACADEMY OF NATURAL SCIENCES. of June. The adults occur from the middle of June until the middle of August, varying with the different species. In general the adult stage of a given species lasts scarcely six weeks, while for the individ- ual it is less than a month. The males usually appear a full week before the females and disappear as much earlier. ARTIFICIAL KBY TO: THE SPECIES. A.

Elytra dull brown in the female, dark brown in the male, nervures pale, a pale spot at the apex within the third and fourth api- cal cells, a longer one including the junction of the anteapical and basal cells and a third and much smaller one midway from the base, the latter sometimes obsolete. Face and all below yellowish or yellowish green in the female, brown in the male, propleura marked in both sexes, obscured by the bromn color in the male. Habitat, Canada, New York, Michigan, lowa, and Kansas. This is undoubtedly the species that Dr. Fitch had in hand, the lighter colored females answering perfectly his short description. It occurs on. the wild plum with the preceding from which it may be separated either as larva or adult by the absence of the black on the face. Fresh specimens have a powdery appearance resembling the bloom on the young stems of the plum. PEDIOPSIS SORDIDA V. D. Pediopsis sordida, V. D. Can.

Elytra with rusty brown OSBORN AND BALL—THE GENUS PEDIOPSIS. 1 7 patches on a milky sub-hyaline ground in female, deep reddish brown in male. Length, 9 4.75-5 mm; od’, 4.50mm.; width, 1.50 mm. Pronotum obtusely angled before, rugae coarse, rather broken and somewhat curved around the polished area just inside either eye, these areas and sometimes the margins yellowish, disc rusty brown, scutellum very variably marked, often entirely brownish. Elytra longer in the female than in “maculata, milky sub-hyaline, irregu- larly washed with rusty brown, deepest on the base; in the male of a deep nearly uniform reddish brown, face yellowish green sometimes washed with brownish, a spot on the propleura in the male often ob- scured by the brown color below. This species has only been received from Colorado. It varies much in depth of color, sometimes even approaching ¢rzmaculata from which it may be readily distinguished by the longer and more pointed elytra and the absence of the light spots.

Pediopsts bifasciata Gillette & Baker. Hemip. Colo., p. 72, 1895. Light or dark ferruginous, a transverse hyaline band on the elytra including the cross’ nervures at the bases of the anteapical cells. Length, 2 5.50-6 mm.; co’, 5 mm.; width, 1.80 mm. Pronotum nearly right-angled before, rugae coarse but rather shal- low and inconspicuous, elytra rather long and narrow, apex acutely rounding. Color: face, pronotum and scutellum usually light ferrugin- ous. Elytra usually a dark reddish brown, with the hyaline band in strong contrast. In some of the females the elytra are scarcely darker than the pronotum while in others and in most of the males the pro- notum, excepting a light spot behind the eyes and the upper part of the face, are nearly as dark as the elytra, all below some shade of yel- low, propleura usually with a large spot in both sexes. Habitat, Montana, Colorado, Nebraska and Iowa. Occurs on the narrow-leaved willows, adults from the middle of June until the mid- dle of July. The specimens from which the species was originally described were both of the lighter-colored females. The majority of the females, however, are much darker, as are all the males. The Colorado specimens reported as 4zfasczata were faded examples of this species. [Proc. D. A. N.S., Vor. VII.] I4 { November 19, 1898.] 118 DAVENPORT ACADEMY OF NATURAL SCIENCES.

Pronotum obtusely angled, elytra broad, rounding at apex; color, greenish or reddish yellow on face, pronotum and scutellum. Ely- tra brownish with a narrow light band just back of the apex of scutel- lum, and a broader one across the apex of clavus. Below, fulvous, propleura unmarked. The types and two other specimens from New York show consider- able variation in the depth of the brown color between the base and the first light band, and suggest that this may possibly be an extreme. form of dfasciata, but the breadth of the elytra and the absence of black markings on the scutellum and propleura would seem to be suf- ficient to separate it. Habitat, Canada and New York. PEDIOPSIS BIFASCIATA V. D. Pediopsis bifasctata V.D. Review, Ent. Am., V., p.173, 1889 ; Cat. p. 260. Pediopsts trimaculata V.D. Review, Ent.

Distinctly greenish or greenish brown with heavy fuscous or black markings in the basal angles of the scutellum, the basal half of the elytra, and again at the apex; males brownish with the elytra scarcely marked Length, 9 5.25 mm.; d’, 4.50 mm.; width, 1.50 mm. Vertex obtusely angled, thicker and more rounding than in /ferrw- ginoides. Pronotum greenish, washed with brown on the disc, often two fuscous marks on the anterior margins, rugae shallow, irregular, scutellum greenish, two spots just inside the basal angles fuscous, and two smaller round ones on the disc brown. Elytra: in the female whitish sub-hyaline, the costal margin greenish, a very variable amount of fuscous or black on the basal half, sometimes confined to the corium, often clear across, and again at the apex where it is usually in the form of a triangle, the apex in the anteapical cells; in the male the elytra are often brownish sub-hyaline and the fuscous markings OSBORN AND BALL—-THE GENUS PEDIOPSIS. Tig obscure, below greenish, the face and ovipositor washed with yellow- ish, propleura usually marked in both sexes, male pygofers with a dis- tinct black spot on the sides. Habitat, Canada, New York and Iowa. Occurs abundantly on the cottonwood, to which its color is well adapted, the males hiding in the cracks in the bark, while the females, being more distinctly green, conceal themselves at the base of the petioles. Only possessing the two specimens of this species, one taken early and the other late, it is no wonder that the variation in color induced Van Duzee to consider them distinct, but a comparison of the types with a large series collected throughout the season show them to be ordinary variations of the same species. They may be readily separated from ferrugznoides by the shorter vertex and the distinct greenish cast. PEDIOPSIS SUTURALIS ©. & B. Osborn & Ball, Dav. Acad. Nat. Sci., Vol. VIL, p. 67, 1808. Vertex right-angled, narrow; color, green with a stripe on either side of the pronotum and the entire clavus black. Length, 2 6 mm.; width 1.75 mm.; male smaller. Pronotum sharply angled before, the rugae shallow, a black stripe arising just behind either eye, widening to the humeral margin, includ- ing the entire clavus, and extending as a narrow stripe around to the apex of the elytra, remainder of the body and elytra green, oviduct, p) gofers, except at the apex, and parts of the face, washed with yellow. Habitat, New York (V. D. Coll.), and Iowa. Occurs on wil- lows. The black stripes which appear in even the smaller larvz ren- der this a strikingly distinct species. A heavily marked form of basalis might be mistaken for this species were it not for its much shorter and broader head. PEDIOPSIS BASALIS V. D. Pediopsis basalis V.D. Review, Ent.

Pronotum, scutellum, costal margin of elytra, face and below, green, rest of the elytra and the basal angles of scutel- lum washed with brown, which is deepened on the base of the clavus into a more or less definite brownish fuscous band margining the scutellum ; pygofers yellowish, green at tip ; propleura unmarked. Habitat, Canada, Iowa, Colorado. Occurs on cottonwood at Ames. This is a very distinct species on account of its broad, short vertex and large size. The male is not known. ‘The difference in color seems to be due to localizations of the pigment; as the band becomes darker the brown disappears from the central part of the elytra. PEDIOPSIS CROCEA O. & B. Pediopsis crocea O. & B. Dav. Acad. Nat. Sci., Vol. VII., p. 68, (Jan. 1898). Bright saffron yellow, elytra clouded with brown, deepest on the clavus. Length, 2 5 mm.; width, 1.50 mm.; males smaller. Pronotum obtusely angled before, much elevated behind, rugae coarse and distinct either side a median raised line. Face and pro- notum bright saffron yellow; scutellum light yellow, the angles some- times clouded with brown; elytra deep brown on the disc, fading to a broad yellowish costal margin, a saffron yellow line along the scutel- lar and humeral margins. Below light yellow, propleura unmarked. Habitat, Lexington, Kentucky, on honey locust (Garman). This is quite distinct in all the specimens examined, the saffron yellow color remaining very constant and at once separating it from related forms. PEDIOPSIS ERYTHROCEPHALA G. & B. Pediopsis erythrocephala G. & B. Hemip. Colorado, p. 72. Large, stout, vertex pointed, green varying to reddish orange on face and pronotum in female, brownish or slightly fuscous in male.

Elytra broader, apical cells shorter, general color darker, especially in males, propleura with a black spot in both sexes, much larger than in the male wrzds. Habitat, California, Nevada. Van Duzee’s ‘‘two small brown males from Nevada,’ ? mentioned under w77zdis, evidently belong here, and as placed, leaves quite a dif- ference in depth of color, which, with the shorter vertex and larger spots on the propleura, makes this quite distinct from either w77d7s or virescens in the material at hand.

This is the most common species on willow in Iowa as well as in the Eastern States; from exythrocephala it may be readily separated by the absence of the black spots on the female propleura and the fuscous 122 DAVENPORT ACADEMY OF NATURAL SCIENCES. ones on the male pronotum, and from reversals, the other one of the green, willow species, by the larger size and unmarked face. Of the six anomalous examples mentioned by Van Duzee under the discussion of this species, the three green males were light-faced exam- ples of reversals, one female was a swturalis, and the two that ‘‘ mim- iced the males’’ were probably examples of g/editschie. These being disposed of, the species is found to be fairly constant in the greenish females and brownish elytra in the males. b PEDIOPSIS GLEDITSCHIZ O. & B. Pediopsis gleditschia O. & B. Davenport Acad. Nat. Sci., VIL, p. 62, (Jan., 1808). Slightly shorter and stouter than zv7zdzs, green, the males with the elytra tinged with fuscous. Length, 2 4.75 mm.; do’, 4-4.25 mm.; width, 1.20 mm. Vertex angled about as in wzais, pronotum with distinct rugae, elytra stout, usually compressed behind; color, deep green; the fe- males with the inner, and apical margins of the elytra washed with brown, the males lightly washed with fuscous, deeper on the elytra, below green, the propleura unmarked in either sex. Occurs on the honey locust in abundance at Ames, Iowa, the adults appearing before the middle of June. This species is much smaller and darker than wrzd7s, the females being very similar to the males of that species in size and color, while the males are still smaller and darker, thus exhibiting the same general sexual variation as in the two preceding species. The absence of the spot on the propleura will serve to separate them from all but the female wz7zds. PEDIOPSIS PUNCTIFRONS V. D. Pediopsis punctifrons V. D. Review, Ent.

Pronotum with an elongate spot behind either eye, black, scutellum with the basal angles, two spots on the disc and a median longitudinal line sometimes interrupted, black, propleura with a distinct black spot in both sexes. Habitat, Arizona. No new material in this distinct little species has been obtained, indicating that it is a more distinctly southern or western form. The females are lighter colored than the males and in the lighter ones the spots are reduced in size. PEDIOPSIS REVERSALIS O. & B. Dav. Acad. Nat. Sci., VIL, p. 69 (January, 1808). Small, compact, light green, male with two heavy black bands on face, sometimes reduced to three spots. [Tength, 2 4.50 mm.; do’, 4 mm.; width, scarcely more than 1 mm. Vertex slightly more roundingly obtuse than in puwnctifrons. Pro- notum nearly smooth, rugae fine, obscure, the anterior pits obsolete ; color, light green, the males with the elytra scarcely if at all darker than in the females ; male face in the darker specimens with two broad black bands, one on the superior margin not quite reaching the eyes, and another between the antennal pits; in lighter specimens these bands may be reduced to three small spots, one at the apex and one on each superior angle of the front, propleura with a round black spot in the male. Habitat, Iowa and New York. Occurs on the narrow-leaved willows. Its small size and light green color, even in the males, will serve to distinguish it from all the other green species without reference to the marking on the face of the males. NotTe.—Pediopsis nubila V.D., from California, seems to be more closely related to the genus Aythoscopus in head characters than to this genus, and has been purposely omitted from the synopsis. The reticulate venation renders it a very distinct form in either genus. 124 DAVENPORT ACADEMY OF NATURAL SCIENCES. A REVIEW OF THE NORTH AMERICAN SPE- CIES OF IDIOCERUS. BY HERBERT OSBORN AND ELMER D. BALL. The members of this genus are easily recognized by their large size, broad, short heads, the eyes exceeding the pronotum in width, which in turn exceed that of the narrow apices of the folded elytra, giving the insects a wedge-shaped appearance. The vertex is short and parallel-margined, rounding in front to the face, ocelli on the face between the eyes, just above the origin of the frontal sutures The male antennz usually bear a disc-like swelling near the tip; this is wanting, however, in a few of the European and a number of the American species. The elytra are usually longer than the abdomen and rather narrowly folded behind. ‘There is but one transverse nervure between the sectors and that is often wanting in crategi, four apical and three anteapical cells being the typical number. ‘The elytraalways possess a distinct appendix and the super- numerary cell is present in the wings. Specific characters are found in the size and position of the spots on the vertex when present, in the size and shape of the outer anteapical cell, the shape of the facial pieces, the shape of the antennal discs of the male and the general size and color. The genitalia are of less classificatory value in this group than in most of the Ayshoscopide, the male organs presenting few variations that are available for use, their place being somewhat supplied, however, by the antennal discs. In the female the shape of the last ventral segment and the length of the ovipositor are important characters in some cases. The genus is widely and generally distributed throughout the North Temperate Zone. Europe has over thirty recognized species, and it is probable that that number will be reached in America when the fauna is better known. The species of which the life histories are known are all exclusively tree-inhabiting forms in both larval and adult stages and are very lim- ited in their range of trees, being confined to the different species of Be, iT, OSBORN AND BALL—REVIEW N. A. SPECIES OF IDIOCERUS. 125 Sahx, Populus and Crategus, the different species usually being con- fined to trees of a single genus and sometimes to a single species The larvee usually mimic the color of some part of the tree upon which they feed and are difficult to detect; they may be readily separated from those of other tree-inhabiting forms by their broad heads, prom- inent eyes and long roundingly tapering abdomens. As far as known all the species are two-brooded, the adults hiber- nating and depositing eggs in spring. In the case of a/ternatus the eggs are placed near the tip of the younger twigs, usually several in a place, often causing distortion or death to the part. SYNOPSIS OF THE SPECIES. A.

Face pale yellowish, two small round black spots on vertex, tip of clypeus bright green. Pronotum and scutellum unmarked. Elytra pale yellowish green, the apical nervures and margin slightly darker, a dark brown band along the sutural margin from the apex of scutellum to the apex of clavus. The costal nervure green. Legs and beneath yellowish, tarsi green. Face short, rounding below; male antenne not inflated; outer nervure of elytra forking at or before its juncture with the second, the outer branch forming a triangular anteapical cell, before curving away to the costa. Ultimate ventral segment of female moderately long, posterior margin with the corners rounded and the center emarginate; pygofers long, much exceeded by the attenuate ovipositor. The dark marking on the suture is somewhat variable ; when heavy this species resembles suturalis; when very pale, pallidus, but it is readily separated from either by the spot on the vertex, the simple antennee in the male and the emarginate female segment. Occurs on willows, apparently preferring the narrow-leaved varie- ties. Specimens are at hand from Iowa, Colorado and Ohio. IDIOCERUS BRUNNEUS O. & B. (Plate III., Fig. 3.) Proc. Davenport Acad. Nat. Sci., Vol. VII., p. 72. (Jan., 1898.) Dull cinnamon brown, two black spots on the vertex. Broad with a depressed face. Length, 5.5 mm; width, 2 mm. - Face tawny; a yellowish circle around the black spots and an inter- rupted line below; ocelli black; pronotum and scutellum cinnamon brown with lighter markings in the female, darker with black spots on scutellum in male. Elytra brownish sub hyaline with distinctly tuber- culate dark brown neryures. Head broad, face much depressed, the front broad and convex, outer fork of first sector forking again some distance beyond the cross nervure, the outer branch curving away to the costa, rarely forming an anteapical cell. Ultimate ventral segment in female very short, slightly produced and obsoletely notched in the middle; pygofers short, broad, only 130 DAVENPORT ACADEMY OF NATURAL SCIENCES. slightly exceeded by the ovipositor; male valve roundingly pointed, plates broad and short; antennz with small, slightly elongate discs. Occurs on willows. Specimens are at hand from Iowa, Nebraska and Colorado. ‘The short, broad form and cinnamon color will read- ily separate this species from any other. IDIOCERUS LACHRYMALIS Fitch.

Ultimate ventral segment of the female strongly medially produced; male antennal discs large, twice longer than wide. Mr. Van Duzee notes it from Franconia and Mt. Washington, N. H. (Mrs. Slosson), Mountains of Northwestern Colorado (Gillette. ) Specimens are at hand from Ontario, New York, and Colorado. This is a very variable species both in size and coloration and has been confused with several other species. When the spots on the face are present they will readily separate it from any other species; when wanting, as is often the case in the male, the short or wanting anteap- ical cell, the produced female segment, and the long nearly parallel- sided disc of the male antennz will serve to readily separate it. The /. productus of G. & B., on examination of a type, proved to be founded on nothing but a pair of crushed specimens of the above species, the ‘‘ remarkable form of the head’’ being due to the vertex having been pushed forward and crushed along a middle line—prob- ably when the specimens were very fresh, as the coloring matter had somewhat segregated into the crushed area, but not forming a distinctly bounded black spot as shown in the cut accompanying the description.

In the pale examples the spots on vertex and scutellum are very dis- tinct but in the more heavily irrorate examples they are obscured, while the white markings are very distinct. Thus answering Say’s description. It is probable that many of the references to this species also included a/fernatus. IDIOCERUS RUFUS G. & B. Hemiptera of Colorado, p. 80. Reddish brown, face yellowish, elytra showing alternate light and dark nervures except in the reddest specimens. Length, 5 mm.; width, 1.5 mm. Face light creamy yellowish, scarcely marked, ocelli brown, prono- tum chestnut, a narrow light line and a pale spot either side on the disc, elytra sub-hyaline, the nervures obscured in the redder forms, alternately light marked in the darker ones, pattern of marking simi- lar to monilfere. Ultimate ventral segment rounding, the center slightly excavated, male plate small, the styles broad and stout, an- tennz without discs. Found on cottonwood at Ft. Collins, Colorado, by Prof. Gillette, through whom the specimens were received. This species was de- scribed from two extremely rufus specimens. The majority of the specimens received were darker and showed the light markings on the elytra. The darker forms somewhat resemble monziifere but all those examined are smaller the face is narrow and lacks the characteristic dark band of that species. IDIOCERUS MEXICANUS 0. sp. Cinnamon brown, scutellum of a brighter rufous color. Resembles rufus but is considerably larger. Length, 6 mm.; 6’, 5.75 mm.; width, 2 mm. Head broad, vertex fairly broad, occiput and front nearly parallel, face rather long, triangular, obtusely pointed below, genz with very straight margins ; front and lore distinctly tumid. Pronotum, width twice the length, posterior margin scarcely emarginate. Elytral veins distinct but not prominent, not tuberculate. [Proc, D, A. N.S., Vor, VII.] 16 December 1, 1808,] 134 DAVENPORT ACADEMY OF NATURAL SCIENCES. Color: head, pronotum, elytra, tergum, and touches on under sur- face and legs, cinnamon brown. The lower part of the face inclines to yellowish and the pronotum and scutellum have irrorations of this color, while the propleura, margins of tergum, the venter and femora are yellow or light stramineous. Genitalia: Last ventral segment of female scarcely longer than preceding, pygofers broad, rugose or gibbous posteriorly, exceeded by the ovipositor. Male valve short, obtusely rounded behind; plates narrow, finely ciliate. Described from one female and one male collected by Prof. C. H. T. Townsend, Jicaltepec, Vera Cruz, Mexico, June, 1896. This species is marked by the large size, tumid front and lore, and, for the specimens in hand, by the distinct cinnamon brown color. IDIOCERUS SUTURALIS Fitch. [diocerus suturalis Fitch. Homop., N.

Length, 2 5.75 mm; do’, 5 mm.; width, 1.50 mm. Face rather long, gene nearly straight-margined below; clypeus much expanded just before apex which extends below the gene. Face and all beneath yellowish. Elytra yellowish hyaline, the apex dusky, sutural margins broadly marked with brown, sometimes interrupted by a white crescent, often continuing on to the scutellum and the poste- rior part of the pronotal disc, outer anteapical cell broad, triangular, the nervure curving away to the margin. Ultimate ventral segment of the female about three times wider than long, posterior margin with a roundingly produced median lobe ; male antennal disc elongate. Specimens are at hand from New York and Colorado. Mr. Van Duzee has records of its occurrence for Ag. Coll, Mich. (G. C. Davis), Douglass Co., Kas. (F. H. Snow), Mt. Washington (Mrs. Slosson), Winnipeg (Jas. Fletcher). This is a somewhat variable species. Those with the darker inter- rupted stripe are mostly males, though occasionally a female is found. Van Duzee reports it from willow, poplar and birch. OSBORN AND BALL—REVIEW N. A. SPECIES OF IDIOCERUS. £35 IDIOCERUS AMc&MuUS V. D. Idiocerus amemus Van Duzee. Can.

Slightly larger than pal/idus, light yellowish green, the elytra golden iridescent, tipped with fuscous. Length, 2 7mm.; o', 6mm.; width, 2 mm. Face and below pale greenish white, pronotum greenish, fading out posteriorly ; scutellum yellowish, sometimes marked with brown, the tip greenish. Elytra yellowish green at base, sub-hyaline with a golden reflection beyond, becoming smoky at the tip in the female and strongly fuscous in the male; tergum yellowish, sometimes fuscous on the disc. A still broader and stouter-appearing species than the pre- ceding, with longer elytra, the outer branch of the first sector not forming an anteapical cell, or rarely a short triangular one, the outer nervure curving away to the costa. Ultimate ventral segment a little longer than in /alidus, the outer angles rounding; pygofers broader, the ovipositor exserted less than the length of the segment, male antennal disc smaller, less than three times the width of the fila- ment. The specimen from which Provancher described this species was determined as new for America by Prof. Van Duzee, who also deter- mined two other specimens of this species, one from New Hampshire and one from Michigan. These specimens are somewhat darker than most of the Iowa and Colorado ones, but they agree in all the struc- tural details. Idiocerus perplexus G. & B. was stated to be only a variety of fa/- lidus by Baker (Ent. News, Vol. VIII., No. 3, p. 54). An examina- tion of the types, however, show it to be quite distinct from that spe- cies but identical with the above. Found only on the cottonwood at Ames, Iowa. Specimens are at hand from New Hampshire, Michigan and Colorado. Records from Mr. Van Duzee are: Franconia, N. H. (Mrs. Slosson), Ag. Coll. Mich. (G. C. Davis), Quebec (Provancher).

Small, stout, pale green or yellowish, the oblique dark nervures of the under wings showing through the hyaline elytra. Length, 2 4.75 mm.; ¢, 4.50 mm.; width, 1.20 mm. Pale yellowish green, tarsi light green, elytra hyaline, the nervures of the under wing showing distinctly above the green abdomen, outer anteapical cell long, as in a/ternatus and verticrs Ultimate ventral segment of female scarcely wider than long, posterior margin nearly truncate; male antennal discs small, nearly circular. Occurs on willows throughout the greater part of the United States, though rarely in very great numbers. Specimens are at hand from New York, New Jersey, Michigan, Iowa, Colorado and Arizona. A very distinct little species, although other species often show the nerve character. It can be readily separated from pa/idus, which it most closely resembles, by the smaller size and the long, nearly truncate, segment of the female. UNKNOWN SPECIES. IDIOCERUS RAMENTOSUS Uhl. Bythoscopus ramentosus Uhler. Bull. U. S. Geol. and Geog. Surv., III., p. 465, 1877. TIdiocerus ramentosus Van Duzee. Psyche, V., p. 389, 1890. Cat., p. 262 ; Gillette & Baker, Hemip. Colo., p. 79. Idiocerus inscriptus Uhler, in litt. (vide Van Duzee). As described, this species should be ‘‘ pale testaceous more or less clouded with rust brown and fulvous,’’ ‘‘ vertex with a round black spot each side, and a smailer black dot each side interior to the ocelli; face sometimes irregularly marked with small brown spots and lines, those above being arranged transversely and those below in a_ horse- shoe arc.’’ Specimens of both /achrymalis and alternatus have been received labeled xamentosus and it is probable that most of the references for this species should be credited to one or the other of these. Some of the darker specimens of 7z/fuws show traces of black spots on the vertex and answer the description fairly well except for the face markings. If specimens are found with these also it is possible that 138 DAVENPORT ACADEMY OF NATURAL SCIENCES. vamentosus will be found to occur on cottonwoods instead of willows, — as described, and include both rzfus and monilifere, although the ma- terial now at hand will not warrant such a conclusion. IDIOCERUS STRIOLA Fieb. Idiocerus striola Fieb. Verh. zool-bot., Gesell. Wien, XVIII. p. 453, 1868 ; Van Duzee, Cat., p. 262. This was originally described by Fieber as a European species in 1868, and so listed in his catalogue, 1872, crediting it to ‘‘ Sithka’’* each time. It is evidently another of the alternate veined series and may well be a/ternatus of Fitch, as that species is already known to be widely distributed and the darker specimens, such as would be ex- pected to occur in such high latitude, answer the short description. Idiocerus distinctus G. & B. Hemipt. Colorado, p. 75. The description of this species was drawn up froma single female and is wanting in several essential points, so that without an examina- tion of the type, which unfortunately has disappeared from the Colo- rado collection, it can not be accurately placed. Steamboat Spring, Colo., on willow (G. & B.). Idiocerus mimicus G. & B. Hemipt, Colorado, p. 76. The type of this species is also lacking from the Colorado collection, which is still more unfortunate, as there is a discrepancy between the description and the figure that accompanies it; the description giving the pronotum as unicolorous, while the figure shows four large black spots on the disc. ; Fort Collins, Colorado, on black walnut (G. & B.). * **Sithka’”’ (Fieber), ‘‘ Sitka ’’ (V.

LVotogonia argentata, Bve., is common in the Mesilla Valley. Ancistromma chilopstdis, Ckll. & Fox, was described from Rincon; A. rugosa, Fox, is reported from New Mexico, but the locality of cap- ture is unknown. It was probably taken by Wickham. Lachytes distinctus, Sm.— Common in the Mesilla Valley. T. exornatus, Fox — Mesilla Valley ; also at Colora’o, near Rincon. T. spatulatus, Fox — Santa Fé, see Bull. 15, N. M. Agr. Exp. Sta., P- 74. T. fulviventris, Cress., is recorded by Townsend from Chaves and Sabinal; and 7. asdominalis, Say, was taken by Dr. S. Lewis in 1867. Tachysphex amplus, Fox, is recorded by Fox vaguely from ‘‘ New Mexico.”’ 144 DAVENPORT ACADEMY OF NATURAL SCIENCES. T. fusus, Fox, was partly based on Mesilla Valley material.

Lewis in 1867. S. lecontez, Cress., S. dubia, Say, and S. dubia, var. hematodes, Burm., are recorded by Townsend from Vega S. José. S. ridings, Cress., det. Ashm., was taken behind the Agricultural College, Mesilla Valley, June 27, on mesquite. We have also two doubtful species of Scofa; one, from Lone Mountain, is called by Mr. Fox S. cos/a¢a, but I find no such name in the catalogues; the other, from the Mesilla Valley, is stated by Mr. Fox to be near S. consors. Eilts xantiana, Sauss., and £. zonaria, Cress., were taken by Dr. S. Lewis. The former is not uncommon in the Mesilla Valley. £. plumipes, Drury, has been taken by Townsend in the Mesilla Valley.

Ceropales fulvipes, Cress.— Collected by Townsend in the Mesilla Valley. C. fraterna, subsp. occidentalis, Ckll.— Ruidoso, about 6500 ft. (Townsend). Pepsis formosa, Say — Common in the Mesilla Valley. The fe- males agree with formosa, but the males are P. chrysothemis,’R. Lucas. Some specimens (d'2) taken by Prof. Townsend at Las Cruces have the wing-coloring of P. nephele, R. Luc., which should be known as P. formosa var. nephele. The P. formosa of Lucas, distinct by the characters of the ¢' abdomen (See Fox’s table, Proc. Ent. Soc. Wash., IV., 142), is apparently not known from the region whence came Say’s type, being more southern in its distribution. It may be called P. pseudoformosa. | Mixed with the males of P. formosa, 1 find I havea Mygnimia (presumably JZ. wstulata, Dahlb.) looking exactly like them. It was taken at Las Cruces by Prof. Townsend. SPHECID. Ammophila wrightii, Cress., and A. varipes, Cress., were collected by Dr. S. Lewis in 1867.

The record of C. minimus is based on a & identified by Fox in 1893. but as the locality is not mentioned in his later revision of Crabro, there may have been some error. C. abdominalis was recog- nized recently by Fox in a specimen taken on /socoma wrightit at Mesilla Park, Sept. 12. C. decorus | took at Mesilla, May 8, burrow- ing in a sandbank.

I have in manuscript a catalogue of New Mexico Diptera, brought up to date, but there would be no special advantage in publishing it at the present time. Prof. Townsend has before him a considerable collection of New Mexico Diptera awaiting study, and it is to be hoped that he will eventually catalogue the species of the Territory. The present records are based on specimens collected by myself (unless otherwise stated), and determined by Mr. Coquillett. Most of the specimens are in the National Museum.

SCUDDER—SUPPLEMENT TO A REVISION OF THE MELANOPLI. 17) SUPPLEMENT TO A REVISION OF THE MELANOPLI. BY SAMUEL H. SCUDDER. Since the publication a year ago of my Revision of the Melanopli (Proc. U S. Nat. Mus., XX , 1-421, pl. 1-26), and in part, at least, in consequence of it, a considerable number of new forms have been discovered. In some cases these require considerable modification of the tables there prepared for the determination of the different spe- cies, especially in the genus Melanoplus, to which all but two of the new species belong. I have thought it advisable, therefore, to bring the descriptions of the new forms together and to introduce such alter- ations in the different tables as will enable one to place any of the new forms (both those here described and those described by others this year) as easily as the old. Most of the species here described were obtained by the careful collecting of Mr. A. P. Morse along the Pacific coast from southern California to northern Oregon, in the summer of 1897. Of these Mr. Morse has given me the full use. The others are principally due to filemevorts of. Mi C.F. Baker, Dr. J. L. Hancock*and Prof; Otto Lugger, to whom I am indebted for their forwarding of material. I follow in this paper the order of my Revision, to which I have constantly to refer. PODISMA Latreille. In an interesting paper on ‘‘ The Grasshoppers and Locusts of New Zealand and the Kermadec Islands’’ (Trans. N. Zeal. Inst., XXX., 135-150, pl. 14, 1897), Capt. F. W. Hutton describes four species which he refers to the genus Pezotettix Burm. (=Podisma Latr.). This is the first reference of the genus to the southern hemisphere, Japan being the nearest country in which the genus was known; but I think it a mistaken reference. | have not seen any specimens of the species described by him, but he has kindly sent me some of the genera he [Proc. D. A. N.S., Vor. VII.J 19 December 30, 1898.] 158 DAVENPORT ACADEMY OF NATURAL SCIENCES. regards as allied, and from these and his descriptions and figures I should judge that all belonged to the gerontogeic Calopteni, rather than to the Melanopli. It is at least pretty certain that they do not belong to Podisma. Among the more interesting of the Acridiidz obtained in Ore- gon in the summer of 1897 by Mr. A. P. Morse was an apterous spe- cies of Podisma, the apterous section of the genus having heretofore been known in America only from the extreme east. The table in my Revision (p. 97) may be thus recast, so far as the apterous spe- cies are concerned, to accommodate the new form: TABLE OF THE APTEROUS NORTH AMERICAN SPECIES OF PODISMA. a.

This species closely resembles AZ marginatus pauper, but differs from it in its lighter color, apically rounded tegmina, more distinctly and sharply punctate metazona, externally sulcate male cerci and more bluntly conical subgenital plate. It is most nearly allied to the pre- ceding species, from which it differs by its lighter colors (from which its name is derived), its shorter male cerci and blunter apical tubercle to the subgenital plate. CINEREUS SERIES. A single species has been added to this series through the collec- tions of Mr. A. P. Morse in California. The table of the series as given in my Revision (p. 135) may be modified to include it in the group containing cyanipes and cinereus, as follows, using the initial letters of that table: TABLE OF A PORTION OF THE SPECIES IN THE CINEREUS SERIES OF MELANOPLUS. zi.

Morse. The bleached appearance of this insect has suggested the name. It is very closely related to AZ. cinereus and may possibly be more prop- erly regarded as a varietal form of that very variable species, peculiar for its color, the less abruptly and considerably twisted male cerci, and the more pronounced inferior production of their apical angle. PACKARDII SERIES. Colorado furnishes an aberrant member of this series, forming pass- age to the succeeding (Collinus) series. The male cerci are not bifurcate, but the lower apical angle is excessively produced and de- curved, leaving an angle where an upper fork should be, to bring it in the Collinus Series in the near vicinity of alpinus and infantilis ; there being, however, no fork whatever, I have thought it best to place it here and to separate it bodily from the other members of the series as follows: TABLE OF THE SPECIES IN THE PACKARDII SERIES OF MELANOPLUS.

A considerable number of species are to be added to this series, all collected on the Pacific coast by Mr. A. P. Morse. Moreover, I for- merly placed AZ. marginatus in the Plebejus Series instead of here, where it belongs, and to include it also it is necessary entirely to remodel the table formerly given to separate the species. As, more- over, MW. marginatus is dimorphic, and one form is macropterous, it is necessary to find a place in the general table of the macropterous spe- cies for the Texanus Series, not heretofore represented. This is done by altering the table given in my Revision (pp. 136-137), so far as the Packardii, Texanus and Plebejus Series are concerned, in the following manner; TABLE TO SEPARATE THE MACROPTEROUS SPECIES OF ‘THE PACKARDII, TEXANUS, AND PLEBEJUS SERIES OF MELANOPLUS. ai, Apical portion of supraanal plate of male suddenly depressed just be- yond the middle; cerci broad or moderately broad, not much narrowed in the middle, more or less suddenly bent inward near tip, exteriorly sulcate CUE FAP ORD L555 5 =| eed «sus tes sharers cane rote anal eared hac 5 a ee (Packardii.

Reports of the various officers were presented as follows: RECORDING SECRETARY'S REPORT. During the year 1896 there have been twelve regular meetings, one trustees’ meeting, and one annual meeting. The attendance upon the regular meetings averages eight. Eight regular and five honorary members have been elected during the year. ‘Two members have died: Professor Wachsmuth of Bur- lington and Mr. W. H. Holmes of Davenport. Lectures have been delivered before the Academy by Professor J. A. Udden of Augustana College, Rock Island, on Kansas Mounds ; by Professor F. J. Walz, Local Signal Service Observer, on Weather Forecasts ; by Professor L. W. Andrews of Iowa City on X-Rays ; by Doctor Edward Gudemann of Davenport on The Development of Chemistry ; and by Mr. George R. Putnam of the U.S. Coast and Geodetic Survey on A Recent Trip to the West Coast of Greenland. The present number of life and other members is 142. EDWARD BoRCHERDT, Recording Secretary. CORRESPONDING SECRETARY'S REPORT. During the year 1896 the correspondence was as follows: Letters received, 111; letters and acknowledgements written, 209. There was no departure from the ordinary subjects that from year to year come before the Secretary. W. H. Barris, Corresponding Secretary. 260 DAVENPORT ACADEMY OF NATURAL SCIENCES. LIBRARIAN'S REPORT. The number of books and pamphlets received since the last annual statement is: foreign publications, 467 ; domestic, 935; total, 1,402. Thenumber of books and pampblets, bound and unbound, now in the library is 32,855. These accumulations come to us chiefly in exchange _ for our own Proceedings, which we are sending to scientific societies in all civilized countries, and indicates in a substantial way an appre- ciation of the efforts of this Academy which must be encouraging to every member. Additional shelving has been provided and a rearrangement and better classification (made necessary by the growth of the library) has been undertaken and prosecuted as the limited time of your Librarian permitted. This work, to which several members have lent much aid, is well begun. As heretofore, a crying need in this department is binding. The small appropriation for the purpose granted early in the year has not been used because, by reason of limited funds, more imperative wants of the Academy have with much difficulty been met. The considerable effort which has been given to the beginning of a Library Index has plainly proven that it is practically impossible to accomplish this important work by voluntary labor. It therefore remains, doubtless, the most urgent business of the incoming adminis- tration to provide means and cause the work to be done by a compe- tent person under the direction of my successor. C. E. Harrison, Librarian. CURATOR’S REPORT. The year has brought to the Academy museum substantial and varied additions. ‘The first donation of the year was received from Mrs. Dr. C. C. Parry. It was a large, carefully wrought blanket made by the Pino Indians, and had a market value of one hundred dollars. In February T. Richter & Sons presented a wonderfully well preserved skin of the white skunk, obtained through the agency of the Musquakie Indians located near Cedar Rapids. In their dealings with the Com- pany for twenty years nothing of the kind has been met with. _ Its rar- ity was further vouched for by the Indians, who pronounced it the only specimen they had ever obtained. In March the Historical Depart- ment was favored through Mr. Augustus F. Mast with the copies of his appointment to the postmastership of Davenport for the years 1856 and 1860—the one signed by President Buchanan, the other by President Pierce—both under glass and substantially framed. In March was received from Mr. Clarence B. Moore of Philadelphia the core of a conch shell from the shell beds of Florida, with an inter- esting letter as to its finding and probable use. In May Mr. C. A. Ficke presented to the Academy an Egyptian mummy obtained from the Boulak Museum of Cairo. Of the genu- SYNOPSIS OF PROCEEDINGS. 261 ineness of this relic of antiquity there can be no reasonable doubt whether we consider the opportunity of the giver or the institution from which it came. Dating back to the 20th dynasty of the Pharaohs, it had its origin in an age that has contributed much to the archeological wealth of the present century. A mummy very much like this has just been received by the Museum of Fine Arts in St. Louis. Prof. Ives, in charge, is most enthusiastic in its praise. This comes to us in as good condition as found in any museum. The mummy itself suggests the care and labor of the embalmer and throws light on the manners and customs of a people passed away. The ornamentation of the coffin is a work of highest art and the figures stand forth as clear cut and the colors as effective as though they were wrought but yesterday. The Academy is to be congratulated in the possession of such an addition to its art treasures. In May, Mrs. M. L. D. Putnam presented a collection of shells from Florida, with echinoids and corals. ‘The shells were submitted to Miss Sadie Foote, and on examination several were found to be new to the Academy and were carefully labelled. At the same time several large and small cestacian vertebre and fine teeth from the South Carolina phosphate beds were received from Mr. George Putnam. A collection of Mexican relics was bought of Prof. Starr of the University of Chicago. This collection included twenty pieces of pottery from ancient Mexican graves. Among these are two two-eared jars, one three-eared jar, three pitchers, three corndishes, three tripod food dishes, three obsidian flakes, three spindle wheels, and two scraping knives. Collected in another section were six of the puzzling little heads to be found in San Juan de Tcotihuacan, remarkably human little carved stone faces. There was also an obsidian nucleus and six little pottery vessels from Chapala almost as puzzling as the faces. In June, Captain Hall remembered us by sending one large grooved stone axe, with thirty or forty flint implements, among them one exquisitely formed, leaf-shaped, over a foot in length, and with a cen- tral breadth of two inches, made of a jasper-colored flint. In July, the Academy received from Dr. Palmer a collection of one large and one small celt, one small axe, a discoidal stone with miner- als and two geodes. In September, Captain Hall sent us two axes, one quite small, and thirty flint implements and arrows, large and small, mostly perfect. In November, the gift of a genuine Eskimo kayak came to us from Greenland, a present from Mr. George R. Putnam. ‘This now occu- pies a conspicuous place in the Academy. It is a model of grace and beauty. The outfit is in keeping with the appearance of the craft and the objects sought to be accomplished by it. The most primitive workmanship characterizes every article used. Everything needed has its place. All the simple devices of the Greenland Eskimo may be seen attached to the kayak in some place, as though ready for use. Paddle and harpoon, spear and casting stick, bird spear and sealskin [ Proc.

And to add to the interest of the visitor the donor has taken pains to label each article, and the part it is to take is clearly pointed out. A noteworthy accession was made to the museum by a gift from Mrs. Dr. Parry, comprising nearly fifty different articles. They may be classed under the head of minerals, shells from the California sea- coast, handiwork of the western Indians in their money, basket work, shell work, textile fabrics and products of the farm, with archeological and ethnological specimens. It is needless to say they were uniformly well selected and carefully labelled with name and locality. In the same month Mrs. Major McClelland presented two beautiful, exquisitely delicate corals gathered on the Bermuda Islands. Through Mrs. Putnam, Mrs. Underhill of Buffalo, N. Y., has sent to us a series of silver pins, once the property of the Tuscarora Indi- ans of Western New York. It is claimed the art of working them was lost two hundred years ago. They become more scarce every year. The Indians part with them only when compelled to do so through their needs. Each form has for them a mystical meaning. The Academy had nothing of the kind in its collection. Mrs. Underhill kindly proffered to increase the number already sent. This gift is in keeping with the ethnological character distinguishing those of the present year. Captain Hall sent his third collection at the close of the year. It comprises one remarkably large grooved stone axe, one small axe, one celt, two hematite miniature stone axes, twenty-three flint implements and two small arrow points. Ray Willard of Rapids City contributing a fine celt to the collection. It is a remarkable fact that of the sixteen donations received this year no less than eleven have been more or less connected with eth- nology and archeology. Our own government has published through the Bureau of Ethnology fifteen large quarto volumes on the subject. Other governments have shown a like interest. Universities and Acadamies of Science have formed associations to advance the science. Magazines in this country are devoted exclusively to the study. Our foreign exchanges supply us with their papers on the subject. The world seems to be moving in that direction, gathering up from every source material to throw new light upon the history, habits, customs, languages, arts and sciences of nations that have long passed away or have been overlooked. We are in line with the work being done, not so much through what we have done this year, but because of what has been done in former years. Egypt, Greenland, Mexico, Florida, California — the Mound-builder of yesterday — the Indians of the west, as well as the east, have contributed to the enrichment of our archzological collec- tion — one of the most notable features of this Academy.

REPORT OF PUBLICATION COMMITTEE. In reporting at the close of this my fifteenth year as Chairman, I wish to express the gratification I feel on the result to the library of the Academy through these publications. In the year 1872 the number of bound and unbound volumes in the library was 311, most of these obtained by purchase. To-day our Librarian reports the number of books and pamphlets in the library at 33,955.* These volumes come entirely through exchange and not from purchase. They bring us in touch with all scientific societies of the world and give us the latest scientific discoveries and most advanced thought. Volume VI., about to be presented to the public, has been exactly four years in preparation and will contain the first entomological paper published since the pen and engraving tools of the late J. D. Putnam were laid aside in 1881. I would like to remind the Davenport public that, while an endow- ment fund has made further aid in this work unnecessary for the pres- ent, there are other important objects in the Academy demanding their support. The papers published during 1896 were: ‘‘A List of Coleoptera from the Southern Shore of Lake Superior, with Remarks on Geo- graphical Distribution,’’ by H. F. Wichkam, M.S., covering 45 pages ; ‘Stone Mounds and Serpent of Hughes County, South Dakota,’’ by John M. Helmick; ‘‘A Shell Gorget from Mexico,’’ by Frederick Starr, Ph.D. (2 wood cuts); ‘‘A Revision of the Truxalinz of North America,’’ by Jerome McNeill, 96 pages. This paper is beautifully illustrated by six plates containing over one hundred drawings by the skillful hand of Miss A. Simonds, and engraved by the Boston Helio- type Company. Prof. Howard of the Agricultural Department, Wash- ington, praises them very highly for perfection in drawing. Mrs. M. L. D. Putnam, Chairman. PRESIDENT’S ANNUAL REPORT. EDWARD S. HAMMATT, January 6, 1897. MEMBERS OF THE ACADEMY, LADIES AND GENTLEMEN: We are here tonight to review the work of the past year, and by its experiences be guided in shaping our course for the future. We have in the reports just laid before us a detailed statement of the work that has been done. ‘The reports of the Finance Committee and Treasurer show that, while there is a small deficit, daily collections the coming year will readily balance this account. One of the best methods of relieving future Finance Committees of an irksome duty would be to provide for running expenses by endowments. ‘This plan has already been suggested and well begun by Mrs. M. L. D. Putnam. If each * The number of books and pamphlets in the library at this date (May 16, 1899,) is 37,073. SYNOPSIS OF PROCEEDINGS. 265 of our members will coéperate with the Finance Committee to this end, sufficient funds could be raised to place the Academy on a sound financial basis and secure for it its just position as one of the important educational factors in the State. The community at large does not realize the educational value of this organization. The late Prof. G. Brown Goode of Washington, in his annual report for 1895 on museums, says: ‘‘ The degree of civ- ilization to which any nation, city or province has attained is best shown by the character of its public museums and the liberality with which they are maintained.’’ Permit me fora moment to remind you and the public in general that we are an organization not for self- aggrandizement or glorification, but exist, in the words of our consti- tution, for the purpose of ‘‘ the increase and diffusion of knowledge of the natural sciences by the establishment of a museum, the reading and publication of original papers, and other suitable means.’’ In the twenty-nine years of our life as an Academy much has been done to make good our claim to a more generous consideration by the public. We have an enviable reputation among scientists and scientific institu- tions of Europe, Australia, and America. In furtherance of the objects of our organization a course of training should be arranged to codp- erate with that of the public schools. A rearrangement of case speci- mens should be made so as to provide for two classes of users, the public and students in science, the specimens for study to be removed under proper surveillance, while specimens for public view should not be handled. We have a standing committee for each of the various departments of science represented. Our By-Laws provide that they shall assist the Curator in arranging donations and deposits in the several departments. It should be made obligatory on those being honored by such appointments to give a small working interest to the museum needs and to make written reports on the condition of their departments. If this small amount of necessary time cannot be given to this work, would it not be better to abandon the museum committee ? We have been greatly favored the past year by two very interesting and important donations to our museum. ‘The statement was made a year ago that one of its great needs was a mummy. One of our Vice- Presidents, Mr. C. Ficke, when about to start on his Eastern trip, intimated that this want might be filled. He was, therefore, promptly provided with the necessary credentials to the famous Boulaak Museum at Cairo, Egypt, through which he secured the fine specimen of mummy and case, from the 2zoth dynasty, which he generously pre- sented as a gift to the Academy. This young woman of royal blood, who has been carefully deposited in a glass case modeled after those in the Field Columbian Museum, adds much to the interest of visitors. With the Peary expedition to Greenland, the past year, was a life- member of the Academy, Mr. George R. Putnam of the U.S. Coast and Geodetic Survey. He was granted leave of absence to accom- pany the expedition in the interest of science for the Massachusetts 266 DAVENFORT ACADEMY OF NATURAL SCIENCES. Institute of Technology. On his return he presented our museum with a fine specimen of an Eskimo kayak, together with a complete outfit of clothing and implements, all of which have seen actual service in Eskimo hunting and fishing. Among other donations to the museum was a valuble miscellaneous collection presented by Mrs. C. C. Parry. Richter & Son presented a unique specimen, the skin of a white skunk. A large number of stone implements have been received from Capt. W. P. Hall. Through Prof. Frederick Starr’s interest the museum acquired by purchase a fine collection of Mexican pottery. A particularly gratifying work has been done by the Publication Committee in so nearly completing Vol. VI. of the Proceedings. The paper on ‘‘A Revision of the Truxalinze of North America,’’ by Prof. Jerome McNeill, is in press and will soon be issued. We have been asked during the past year to use our influence in the support of a congressional bill for the encouragement of the metric system. It seems strange to those who know its many advantages over other systems of weights and measures now in use that any oppo- sition should be made to its use; least of all should we expect it from so distinguished a scientist as Mr. Herbert Spencer. His opposition to its use, published in a recent number of the Popular Science Monthly, has been ably answered in the same periodical by Prof. Mendenhall. Our Academy should exert its utmost influence to promote the general adoption of the metric system, and assist the metrological societies in distributing circulars of information on the subject. The scientific societies of the District of Columbia have asked our coéperation in preventing the passage of a bill, in congress, against vivisection, or, more properly speaking, to restrict its use in the Dis- trict of Columbia. Vivisection may be considered as one of the most efficient aids to medical science and its use in the hands of profes- sional experts, for the advancement of science, should be unrestricted. Our library should receive as prompt attention as possible. Binding and cataloguing are the two most pressing needs. In this connection some plan might be arranged for an interchange of books with the Library Association. ‘This, however, cannot be accomplished until our library is catalogued. To the library should be added a reading- room well provided with current scientific periodicals. A number of these have been regularly received in the past. At the present time the number is too small for the actual requirements of students visiting the building. A slight attempt has been made during the year to awaken more interest at our regular monthly meetings by having a paper read on some scientific topic. We have had five such papers: the first at the January meeting was read by Dr. Edward Gudeman, whose subject was ‘‘ An Historical Review of Chemistry ;’’ at the February meeting Prof. J. A. Udden of Augustana College read a paper on ‘‘An Ex- ploration of Mounds in Kansas;’’ Mr.F.J.Walz,U.S.Signal Observer, read a paper on ‘‘ Methods of Forecasting’’ at the March meeting. SYNOPSIS OF PROCEEDINGS. 267 In April, Prof. L. W. Andrews of the State University kindly gave us a lecture on ‘‘Some Phenomena Connected With Highly Rarified Gases.’’ At the October meeting Mr. George R. Putnam gave a de- scription of his experiences and study of Eskimo life while on the Peary expedition. On looking over our membership list we find several additions the past year. We record with regret the loss of one of our earliest mem- bers, Mr. William Henry Holmes, who as Trustee and Vice-Presi- dent, either in or out of office, was always an active member, with unbounded faith in the future prosperity and great usefulness of our organization. Prof. Charles Wachsmuth of Burlington, a distinguished palzeontologist and one of our corresponding members, has also been taken from us. Our published volumes bear testimony to his untiring research in his chosen field. In surrendering the office of President which you have generously imposed upon me for two successive years, may I thank you for the honor conferred and your willing codperation in Academy work. The presentation of these reports was followed by the election of officers for the ensuing year, resulting as follows: President—EDWARD S. HAMMATT. First Vice-President—Dr. A. W. ELMER. Second Vice-President—C. A. FIcke. Recording Secretary—E. M. WuiTe. Corresponding Secretary—Dr. W. H. Barris. Treasurer—Mrs. M. L. D. Putnam. Curator—Dr. W. H. Barris. Librarian—C, E. Harrison.

The meeting then adjourned to hear the lecture on ‘‘ Egypt,’’ given by Mr. C. A. Ficke, under the auspices of the Academy, in the Pres- byterian church. The seating capacity of the building was taxed to the utmost and all enjoyed the delightful and instructive account Mr. Ficke gave of his journey, illustrated by stereoptican views. february 26, 1897—REGULAR MEETING. Edward S. Hammatt, President, in the chair; seven members present. The Librarian reported the receipt of 124 books and pamphlets and g bound volumes during February. Report of Curator: An archeological specimen was received from Clarance B. Morse, from Ossabar Island, Bryan County, Georgia —a large, exquisitely-shaped urn. He says it was originally covered with an inverted bowl of earthenware. In it were the fragments of a skel- eton of a small child. Much decayed. Publication Committee reports Volume VI. of the Proceedings fin- ished, except index, and 1oo copies of Prof. McNeill’s paper sent him. Frank W. Garstang and A.

Your Librarian would report for the year just closed a very satisfac- tory condition of the Library. At the beginning of the year the Trustees made a small appropriation for binding, a work greatly needed for the preservation of very many valuable books; but owing to a pressure of funds necessary in other directions the money was not called for. The only expense incurred was about twenty-five dollars expended in classifying and arranging the Library, a work made necessary after the new shelving was put in last year. Much credit 274 DAVENPORT ACADEMY OF NATURAL SCIENCES. must be given Professor Barris and Mr. Robert P. Osborn for the exten- sive work accomplished by them in this department. The number of books and pamphlets received since my last annual report is 1,519, 76 of which are in substantial’ permanent binding. That the members may more fully understand the rare value of our library, I have pre- pared and herewith submit a partial list of societies in this country from which we receive books in exchange: Harvard University, Canadian Journal of Science, National Science Association of Staten Island, Scientific Association of University of Missouri, Boston Society of Natural History, New York Botanical Garden, Canadian Institute, Chicago Academy of Science, Texas Academy of Science, Johns Hopkins University, State Historical Society of Wisconsin, Minnesota Historical Society, Portland Society of Natural History, Kansas Academy of Science, American Antiqua- rian Society, American Academy of Arts and Sciences, St. Louis Academy of Sciences, American Philosophical Society, American Museum of Natural History, Colorado Scientific Society, Torrey Botanical Club, Harvard College, University of California, Illinois Museum of Natural History, Philadelphia Academy of Science, Zoélogical Society of Philadelphia, Chicago Historical Society, Field Columbian Museum, California Academy of Science, Entomological Publication, National and State Geological Surveys and Reports, Reports on Forestry, Botany, Chemistry, Experiment Stations, Animal Industries, etc., from the Department of Agriculture, Patent Office Gazette, Fish Commission, Coast and Geodetic Surveys, Smithsonian Reports, etc., in all, about one hundred societies and departments. From foreign countries we receive exchanges as follows: Canada, Mexico, Africa, 3; “South America, 15; Asia, 1; Australasia, o5% Austro-Hungary, 13; Belgium, 9; Denmark, 2; France, 31; Ger- many, 45 ; England, 14; Ireland, 3; Scotland, 9; Italy, 12; Nether- lands, 3; Norway, 7; Portugal, 2; Russia, 4; Spain, 1; Sweden, 7; Switzerland, 11; Bulgaria, 1; in all, 198 foreign Societies contribut- ing regularly through exchange for our publications to the building up of this vast storehouse of scientific lore. I have in previous reports urged the necessity of binding and indexing, a work requiring consid- erable time and expense to complete. I trust the Academy will speed- ily enter upon this most important work. Respectfully submitted, C. E. Harrison, Librarian. REPORT OF PUBLICATION COMMITTEE. Your Committee on Publication reports as follows : Early in the past year, Vol. VI. of the Proceedings, begun in 1892, was brought to completion, and the usual edition of 1,500 copies, with 200 separate for authors, was printed. Of these 374 have been dis- tributed to home and foreign exchanges and to regular members, and SYNOPSIS OF PROCEEDINGS. 275 the remainder are stored in the Academy building. The volume has been very favorably received, and, we believe, fully sustains the rep- utation of its predecessors. Of its ten papers the most important are those on entomology, contributed by Prof. Jerome McNeill, of the University of Arkansas, and Prof. H. F. Wickham, of the State University of Iowa, and a summary of the archeology of Iowa by Prof. Frederick Starr, of the University of Chicago. The illustrations of the volume comprise six entomological plates, a number of wood cuts, and an engraved portrait of Dr. C. C. Parry accompanying a biographical sketch by Dr. C. H. Preston, and a list of his published writings. The synopsis of Proceedings is brought down to the begin- ning of the year 1897 and a comprehensive index is appended. One hundred and ninety-two pages of the three hundred and ninety-two pages of this volume were printed during the past year; also the first forty-four pages of Vol. VII. Forty more are now ready for the press. The first paper in Vol. VII. is <‘ A Memoir (with portrait) of Charles Edwin Putnam,’’ by W. C. Putnam; the second an article on ‘‘Our Local Geology,’’ by Prof. W. H. Barris, and the third, “A Study of the Census of the Pueblo of Cochite, New Mexico,’’ by Prof. Frederick Starr.

EDWARD S. HAMMATT, January 5, 1808. MEMBERS OF THE ACADEMY, LADIES AND GENTLEMEN: Much occurs each successive year in the life of scientific bodies which is but a repetition of the work of past years. We therefore find a great Sameness in regular reports. Yet it is only by such detailed reports that the outside world can judge of our right to live. We have a fair-sized membership, among whom are a few with gen- uine interest in scientific matters. But the greater number are quite too indifferent to the pleasure and benefit of attendance upon the reg- ular meetings of the Academy. It has been suggested that we change our regular monthly to quarterly or less frequent meetings, at which the only business should be the reading and discussion of topics of scientific interest. We find that some years ago a resolution was adopted providing for one hour of scientific discussion at each regular meeting. If this res- olution were revived and notice of the subject of discussion sent to each member it would certainly give greater interest to our meetings and increase the attendance. We see from the reports of the Finance Committee and Treasurer that the Academy finances have been judi- ciously managed during the past year. There has been an encourag- ing growth in the museum collections. The most notable specimens were added to the department of ethnology and consisted of native work from the South Sea Islands, collected and presented to the Acad- emy by the Rev. Irving M. Channon; alsoa collection made by Mr. E. K. Putnam in Norway, Sweden and England, of native implements, mineralogical specimens and a Norwegian burial urn. Mr. George R. Putnam presented us with many interesting specimens collected while on the Aleutian Islands the past summer. The museum has been enriched by two fine specimens of ornamented burial cases, and a large number of stone implements from Georgia, presented by Mr. Clarence B. Moore of Philadelphia. Mr. S. V. Proudfit presented the Academy with a large collection of stone implements. Mention must also be made of hundreds of Indian implements, secured through the generous interest of Capt. W. P. Hall. Beside these, we have received many smaller donations of specimens from various sources. It may be well to remember that the value of a museum is greatly enhanced by the exercise of judicious care in the selection of specimens. As this becomes annually more apparent from lack of space, a careful revision of specimens in each department of the museum should be made by the Museum Committee, with recommend- ations to the Academy for the removal of such as can be dispensed with. This will serve to increase the value of our collections and somewhat relieve our overcrowded shelves. It is hoped that during SYNOPSIS OF PROCEEDINGS. 277 the coming year we may secure a series of specimens from the United States Geological Survey arranged for distribution for educational purposes. Application has been filed with the Survey for this series. The Library has received many valuable additions by exchange with foreign Scientific Societies. Special mention must be made of a series of government publications, giving the Messages and State papers of the Presidents of the United States. This set of books was secured through the interest of Hon. G. M. Curtis, to whom the Academy is indebted for this and other acts of courtesy. We take pleasure in recording the completion, early in the year, of Vol. VI. of the Academy Proceedings. Several papers of importance have also been published since our last annual meeting, as parts of Vol. VII. of the Academy Proceedings. ‘These papers are, ‘‘A Memorial of Mr. C. E. Put- nam,’’ one of our former Presidents, written by his son, Mr. W. C. Putnam; a paper on ‘‘Our Local Geology,’’ by Prof. W. H. Barris, a paper called ‘‘ A Study of a Census of the Pueblo of Cochiti, New Mexico,’’ by Prof. Frederick Starr, and a paper entitled ‘‘ Studies of North American Jassoidea,’’ by Prof. Herbert Osborne and Prof. E. D. Ball. We have had several interesting and instructive lectures during the year, the first by Hon. C. A. Ficke, describing his trip up the Nile the preceding year. ‘This was followed bya lecture by Mr. Charles Francis on ‘‘ Egyptian Hieroglyphics.’’ Upon the return of Mr. George R. Putnam from his summer work for the United States Coast and Geodetic Survey on the Pribyloff Islands, he gave us an interesting lecture on ‘* The Seal Islands and Alaska.”’ It is with regret that we record the loss of two of our members during the past year. Inthe death of Hon. John C. Bills the city mourns one of its most honored and influential citizens, and the Academy, a warm advocate and friend, while in the untimely death of Mrs. Nettie How- ard the Academy loses an interested, active member. At the last annual meeting two honorary members were elected and during the year one life member, three corresponding and seven reg- ular members. We have but latelv passed our thirtieth anniversary. Of those who met and organized the Davenport Academy of Natural Sciences on the rath day of Décember, 1867, few are with us now. But we have before us in the work accomplished a glowing tribute to the founders of the Academy. In glancing backward over this period we cannot but feel, with the limited means at our disposal, we have won an hon- orable position in the scientific world and have stamped a character on this fair city such as no other organization in our midst has done. In exchanging our publications with Scientific Societies in every part of the world we are doing a work which continually redounds to the honor of this community. When this work is fully appreciated by our citizens we shall have the generous recognition to which we are entitled. [ Proc. D: A. N. S-, Vor. VIL.] 34 {June 20, 1899.) 278 DAVENPORT ACADEMY OF NATURAL SCIENCES. On motion a vote of thanks was tendered Hon. George M.
