My friend. Dr. Charles P. Alexander, visited the Island
about 12 years ago, and for the past 3 years has come with
our friend, Mr. Walter Harrison, the botanist, in order to
check up the Tipulidae. Some of the best times I have had
have been their visits and our collecting trips, and the fact
that Doctor Alexander has shown such an interest and written
everything connected with that family, gives it the stamp of
authority.
Dr. A. E. Brower of the Maine Forest Service has shown
great interest in the work and has contributed many records
taken through his breeding experiments on the parasitic
hymenoptera and has also furnished many records of other
species as well as material. Being an expert lepidopterist,
the material in that order has had the advantage of his work
in collecting and also determining species, which accounts for
its being such a well-represented group. He is indicated in
the text by (Br.).
Mr. C. A. Frost, Honorary Curator of Coleoptera, New
England Society of Natural History, has shown his usual
interest in promoting anything that has to do with entomology,
and no matter what I have asked him, or when it was asked,
he has been most kind in determining species. I give him my
hearty thanks.
To the New England Society of Natural History I am in-
debted for the loan of books, and to their librarian. Miss Mary
B. Cobb, who has the true understanding that a library should
THE MOUNT DESERT REGION 13
be alive, and not a mere collection of books. To the same
society, I am indebted for the pictnre of Mr. Johnson. To
Mrs. William Qnimby, for the exacting task of typing the
manuscript.
With the exception of those mentioned above, no individual
or institution has had anything whatsoever to do with this
publication, and I feel obliged to make this statement because
after Mr. Johnson passed on, certain individuals made state-
ments of friendship and gave the impression that they had
helped in his work, whereas, the facts were quite the opposite.
14 BIOLOGICAL SURVEY OF
THE ISLAND OF MOUNT DESERT
"An island full of hills and dells,
All rumpled and uneven
With green recesses, sudden swells,
And odorous valleys driven
So deep and straight, that always there
The wind is cradled to soft air."
Elizabeth Barret Broavnixg
Situated on the southern edge of the Boreal region, and
the northern line of what is known as the Transitional Zone
of the Austral, where the species of the so-called Canadian
Ufe-zone meet those from the South, the Island of Mt. Desert
furnishes a most fascinating place for the naturalist to study
the insect life. A central range of mountains rising from
1000 to 1500 feet forms the backbone of the Island from east
to west, with steep cliffs toward the east, more moderate
ones toward the west, and to the north and south, gentle
slopes which leave a section of a third of the island with an
altitude of about 200 feet above sea level in each direction.
This mountain range was cut by the rivers and the ice of
the glacial period, which gouged out the great U-shaped valleys
of today, and also formed the basins which are now the lakes
and the fjord called Somes Sound. The mountains toward
the east are polished off and have a vegetation of scrub on the
bare granite, while the western mountains are heavily wooded.
In a few words, by studying the geology we find that the
lowlands are developed on the rocks of the early Paleozoic and
the mountains are the hard Devonian granites, while the
great valleys and the lakes result from the glacial action.
The other features are due to the earth movement, wind,
frost, and the ever erroding action of the beating waves.
Now all of this has no direct bearing upon the insects of
today, for the altitude of the mountains is practically elimi-
nated as a factor by the sea, winds, and fogs, but it has a
direct bearing upon the flora, and the flora and insect life are
merged and interdependent.
I can best give an idea of the flora of the Island by re-
quoting from Part I of the Survey.

BIOLOGICAL SURVEY OF
''One ^ of the most marked characteristics of tlie island
flora is its not only strongly northern, bnt arctic character.
On its coast, enveloped in cold fogs and washed by waters
chilled by the arctic cnrrents, it is no wonder that arctic
plants like Montia foniana and Stellana humifusa should find
a congenial home. Moreover this character of the flora is
shown by the fact that with one exception, Lycopodium selago,
the mountain plants descend to the sea level. Neither on the
one hand is the altitude of the mountain summits sufficient to
develop an alpine flora nor on the other hand is the warmth
and general character of the lowlands sufficient to bring many
of the plants of the middle temperate region thus far up the
coast of Maine. The flora then may be said to be essentially
Canadian, having close relations with the very similar flora
of New Brunswick. It also shows, apart from its maritime
character, many points of resemblance to the general flora of
the White Mountain region. It is in its special problems how-
ever, that plant distribution becomes of great interest at
Mount Desert."
*"A preliminary catalogue of the plants growing on Mount Desert," by
Edward L. Rand and John H. Eedfield, p. 20. Cambridge, 1894.
THE MOUNT DESERT REGION 17
Prof. M, L, Fernald,^ in referring to the diversity of the
island flora, says: ''The flora of the Mount Desert region is
not by any means entirely arctic or subarctic. There we
find essentially all of the common plants of the Canadian zone
and mingling with them in sheltered nooks and meadows or
on warm slopes, many scores of plants which reach their
extreme northern or northeastern limit on Mount Desert or
the immediate coast — such plants as the Pitch Pine, Piniis
rigida; the Bear Oak, Qucrcus ilicifolia; the Sweet Pepper-
bush, Clef lira alnifolia; the Swamp Loosestrife, Decodon ver-
ticillatus; the Meadow Beauty, RJiexia virginica, and the
maple-leaved Viburnum, Viburnum acerifoliiwi. This extraor-
dinary accumulation within one small area of the typical
plants of the arctic realm, of the Canadian Zone and in many
cases of the southern coastal plain, cannot be duplicated at
any point known to the writer."
This diversity and the temperature of the Island are aptly
pointed out by Mr. Barrington Moore,^ editor of Ecology,
who says : "From the forestry point of view I can state that
on no area of this size have I seen growing together forests
representing such different conditions and consequently with
such different requirements. The vegetation in general ap-
pears to be even more remarkable than the forests. Rand
has found on the Island 230 species of plants common to the
arctic. The crowberry (Empetruni nigrum) grows here at
sea level, while inland at this latitude and even further north
it is found only on the summits of the high mountains above
timber line under truly arctic alpine conditions, and still the
southern sweet fern {Myrica asplenifolia) grows here in
actual contact with these boreal plants.
''An indication of the comparative mildness of the Mt.
Desert climate in spite of its arctic flora, is to be found in a
group of Japanese pines growing at one of the gateways
north of the village of Bar Harbor, a tree so sensitive to cold
that it is killed at the latitude of New York, which yet has

lived on this island for twenty years withont protection in
winter."
In the remarks by Eand and Redfield on the plant distribu-
tion you will notice that an exception is made of the maritime
flora, otherwise there is a '' resemblance to the general flora
of the White Mountain region." This is, to a large degree,
equally true of the insects. The same trees and plants of
the two places have the same insect enemies, and these insects
in turn serve as hosts for the same parasites. The elevations
of the island are not sufficient for the arctic-alpine forms of
Mount Washington and the boreal species are more com-
monly found near the shores and in the vicinity of the lakes,
cold spring runs, and bogs, the more sheltered and southern
exposures probably harboring the greater number of austral
species.
In regard to the distribution of aquatic insects, as pointed
out by Dr. R. H. Howe, Jr.,^ cold bogs and ponds that are
spring fed have less extremes in temperature than ponds that
are not thus supplied with water. Thus he found boreal and
austral dragon flies living together in the same pond far be-
yond their normal limits of distribution. The pond in ques-
tion had a bottom temperature of 51°F. in summer and 36°F.
in winter — a range of only 15°.
The distribution of most of the maritime insects is governed
comparatively little by the corresponding vegetation, although
the two frequently show a similar distribution. Tempera-
ture and a suitable environment are the principal factors.
A low muddy shore with considerable marsh and pools of
brackish water has an insect fauna of its own, and it is
these species that often show^ a very wide distribution. To
the proximity of the ocean wdth its modifying etfect on the
climate is apparently due this extension of southern species
far beyond their normal habitat. On the other hand, cold
currents produce conditions favorable to boreal species. The
effect of the ocean on temperature is perhaps best shown at

there are no extremes of heat or cold on the island; that the
highest temperature during the past four years was 78° and
the lowest point reached by the thermometer during the same
period was 5° above zero."

I am prompted to quote the paragraph above for the reason
that the island has a great number of wet depressions found
where glacial action has been the dominating formative agent.

These range from the cedar swamps where the principal
tree is arbor vitae to the ones locally called 'sunken heath,'
'bottomless heath,' etc., which are spring fed, and larch,
spruce and the like dominate, with some maples. Brush such
as Myrica gale and rank grasses begin in these.
Approaching sea level; swamps and 'heaths' are formed
where the water is fresh from the land drainage above or salt
from the sea's penetration. Such a place is the bog back of Sea
Wall and Great Heath in the northwestern part of the island,
which is over 2 miles long and is a mile wide in one place. In
Swamp l)ack of Schooner Head
these the vegetation is brush such as Myrica gale, Kalmia,
and the like, while the floor of all of them is Spagnum. These
places yield insects and at the same time, test one 's endurance.
Although the Island had attracted the attention of botanists
for years, and they had published the results, no one did so
in the case of insects before the Survey, with the exception of
an interesting page and a half on the tiger beetles.*^ A number
of butterflies obtained by various collectors visiting Mount
Desert are mentioned in Scuclder's great work.'^

22 BIOLOGICAL SURVEY OF
The late Prof. H. C. Fernald and liis son, Dr. H. T. Fernald,
collected many insects on the Island, which are now in the
collection of the Massachusetts Agricnltural College, Amherst,
Mass., w^iile the summers of 1909 to 1911 were spent by the
late Dr. Charles Sedgwick i\Iinot at Northeast Harbor, who
collected at lights, specializing in Lepidoptera. These are
in the collection of the New England (Boston) Society of
Natural History.
In connection with their work on the New England fauna,
the New England Society of Natural History, in 1918, selected
the Island of Mt. Desert as a place for part of its summer
work, this location presenting favorable conditions for a
study of insects in relation to life zones, and Mr. Charles W.
Johnson, Curator, spent from 10 days to 2 weeks on the Island
eacli summer until 1926. We met and joined forces, which
resulted in the publication of Part I of the Survey in 1927.
Our intention w^as to continue the work together as soon as I
was through with the first part of the marine work.^ His
passing put an end to that happy association, but left me
with the remembrance of one of the best informed and most
attractive of naturalists. As a mark of affection I dedicate
this book to his memory.
LA BOB A TORY
The main laboratory of the Survey is situated at Corfiekl
on Frenchman's Bay. There, and at Penikese, 5 miles to the
westward, light and other traps have been run for several
years, from the beginning of May until the end of October.
These are not the small traps, but rooms painted white, with
glass louvres in the windows, and lights both outside and
inside. These lights were changed both as to color and
intensity and thus a great number of individuals were taken
Avhich, sorted out, yielded many species. Bait traps of differ-
ent kinds were run constantly at both of these stations as well
as at other parts of the Island.

24 BIOLOGICAL SURVEY OF
CLASSIFICATION
Experience lias taught me that when one looks up a form
in a check list, he generally turns to another one, so I have
thought it well to follow a recognized list in each of the orders.
This naturally makes some of the sequence appear a bit out of
date, but when all is said, one turns to the index, and this
volume is primarily a check list of the insects that have been
found here.
I have used in the general classitication the List of the
Insects of New York, etc. by M. D. Leonard et al. 1928, which
has also been followed in the smaller orders, w^ith the excep-
tion of the Ephemeridae, Plecoptera, and Trichoptera, which
have been brought up to date to conform with the recent
work done on them. Li the Hymenoptera, the same list has
been followed, but in the case of parasitic families, some
latitude has been taken in listing them, for they are being
constantly re-studied, and there is no stable sequence just
at present. In the Microlepicloptera it has been used again,
but the genera and families are listed in a reverse order so
that they may conform to the ^Macrolepidoptera list, and the
list that we hope will follow it, for these families. The
]\Iacrolepidoptera are listed as in the recent check list of the
Lepidoptera of Canada, and the \J. S. by J. McDunnough 1938.
The Catalogue of the Coleoptera of America etc. by Charles
W. Leng 1920 has naturally been used for the beetles, while
the Hemiptera of Connecticut, etc. by W. E. Britton et al. 1923,
has seemed to me the most rational list to use for the
Hemiptera. In the Diptera I have used The Families and
Genera of North American Diptera by C. H. Curran 1934 in
order to bring that order up to date. The Aracnida have the
latest classification through the kindness of Dr. W. J. Gertsch.
I have been careful to hold to the original names of places
that have come down since they were first given and have
paid no attention to some fanciful names recently given. The
mountains on the island that have gone down in zoological
literature under their original names have been renamed and
with what imagination! One huge mass of granite now^ bears
THE MOUNT DESERT REGION 25
the name of 'Flying Squadron'! That my course is neces-
sary is apparent when one realizes that the National Park
on the Island is now carrying the third name given to it since
this list was started.
To students of distribution, variation, and the complexity
of insect life, it is important to have a careful survey of the
fauna of a region, giving the species found there at a certain
time. With this purpose in mind, I have deliberately dis-
carded all records that I do not personally know of, and the
species here listed, with the exception of about twenty-five
which have been entered for purely sentimental reasons, have
been taken within the past 20 years. Where any doubt as to
a species has come up, it has been determined by a specialist.
Furthermore, principally in the cabinets here, and in Boston,
Amherst, Washington, or in the collections of specialists who
have helped me, any insect mentioned may be found, with
the exception of the Mallophaga and two species of bird flies
(Hippoboscidae). To acquire actual records of these would
necessitate shooting of a large number of birds, the loss of
which would not compensate for the little knowledge gained.
As over 80% of the birds are infested by these parasites, a
list of the species frequenting the more common birds of the
Island can be depended upon the represent the approximate
number of species.
The users of Surveys might well be warned that the publi-
cation of one or more species as occurring in a region is
obviously no proof that those are the only species in that
particular group which do occur.
In the following summary the larger and more prominent
orders have received the attention. Many groups like the
Aphidae, Coccidae, etc., require collecting by specialists. These
will be collected, work continued in the larger groups, and
the results published.
The abundance of the parasite wasps — Ichneumonidae — and
the parasitic flies — Tachinidae — indicates a normal or balanced
condition, these insects keeping in check the injurious species.
26 BIOLOGICAL SURVEY OF
The lady-beetles, lace wings, and syrpliid flies, the great
enemies of the plant-lice, are also abundant and largely in-
strumental in keeping these prolific and destructive insects
within bounds. The rich insect fauna of Mt. Desert shows
that we are still dealing in places with an almost undisturbed
ecological condition. That this will not continue is apparent,
for the gypsy moth is here and will be a major problem as
well as the spruce sawfly, while the 'parking' of the woods
by removing trees, stumps, etc., will upset the balance still
further. Introduced without their parasites and other natural
enemies, the only immediate recourse is in spraying with
the result that many of our native species disappear, the
balance of nature is disturbed and the diversity and heauty
of our insect fauna are gone.
COLLECTING
In order to stimulate interest in the collection and study
of insects, I have included notes on how to collect, and where
to look for many of the species, for it is my hope that more
people will take the trouble to interest themselves in this class.
Aside from the aesthetic interest, insects are by far the
most interesting of any live thing, when one looks into their
habits and life history. Few people realize that man is abso-
lutely dependent upon insects for his existence. Fewer still
know anything about them.
Finally, I expect to issue supplements to this list from
time to time, and I hope that anyone who wishes to include
any insects taken on the Island will send me authentic records.
Also in this list as in all others there must be some errors.
Please call them to my attention so that corrections may be
made in the supplements.

Order EPHEMEEIDA
Ephemeridae. The May Flies
The proper way to collect this order is to wade up brooks
gently sweeping the vegetation on either side, just at dusk,
or to work around the edges of ponds at the same time. When-
ever there is a strong wind blowing across a pond and a hatch
is on, the flies will be carried to the leeward side and often
to a considerable distance, and sweeping and examining trunks
of trees along the edge of the pond will produce results. Dr.
H. T. Spieth tells me that the tendency of the flies when leav-
ing the brook is to go toward the dark, and that the males will
go up the side of clitTs to a considerable height.

Carabidae. The Ground Beetles
They are to be looked for on the ground where they hide
under stones and other cover. Some prefer the edges of
ponds; others, dry places, while still others are found in
sphagnum moss or wet moss in deep woods. Some of our
species fly freely on warm spring mornings, particularly near
wet places. The way to take the bog species is to stamp
around on the surface of the bog and drown them out. I have
found by working potato patches and turning over the stones,
a week or two after the crop has been harvested, a most fruit-
ful field. The molasses trap is very successful.

fore or since, although carefully searched for. Their food
is land snails.

food, the land snails. It is found on Long Porcupine Island
where there are snails, around the first of July, in decay-
ing white birch logs.
Sphaeoderus Dejean

HALiPLroAE. The Crawling Water Beetles
They live around the margins of brooks and ponds where
they crawl over the aquatic plants that lie flat on the water.
Best taken by raking vegetation onto a screen and looking-
for them as the material dries.
Haliplus Latreille

pools where they may be taken crawling on aquatic plants.
Ireson Hill Pd., Sept.^ 30; New Mill Pd., Aug. 7.
Dytiscidae. The Diving: Beetles
These predaceous ones live in pools and the most sure way
to take large ones is to suspend a minnow trap baited with a
piece of fish. The opening of the trap should not be too large.
Scraping the edges of pools will get the others.
Laccophilus Leach

Dytiscus Linnaeus
D. YERTicALis Sav. (2638). This species had never been seen
on the Island until taken in large numbers at the same time
and place as that next below.
D. DAUEicus Gebl. (2645). This species is found in very few
numbers in the smaller ponds. On July 30, '35, a man in
Tremont reported that his trout were being eaten up by
lizards. Upon investigation they proved to be the 'water
tigers' of this and (D. verticalis) and the pool was fairly
swarming with the adults, they having evidently hatched
during the previous week. Upon investigation, this spring
which had been made into a pool, had no connection with any
other body of water, and was on a hill and therefore the
absence of the eels, which are the common enemy of this
family, permitted them to multiply in peace.
D. sp. A 'tiger' in the house Bar Harbor, June. (Dr. Thorn-

PsELAPHiDAE. The Ant-loving Beetles
They live beneath bark and stones and feed on minute
forms. When turning stones for them, do not hurry, for they
often ''play dead." Sifting dry trash in the winter is pro-
ductive and I have taken them by sweeping around swamps
at dusk in the autumn. They excrete a substance of which
ants are fond and so are tolerated and found in ants' nests.

All of the species of this family are vegetable feeders, either
upon the roots of grasses or the juices of rotten wood. The
larvae are known as Svire-worms ' and are difficult to raise,
as many require several years to complete their growth. They
are best collected by beating and from old logs and stumps,
but many may be lured to sweet bait on trees w^hich should be
visited at night. Some of the most scarce and interesting
species occur on the earliest 'catkins.'

Attelabus Linnaeus. Leaf -rolling weevils
A. BiPusTULATus Fab. (16367). This species rolls the leaves
of oak. Bar Harbor beating June 16. Rare.
A. RHois Boh. (16369). Occurs on hazelnut and alder. As
described by Packard, the singTilar, thimble-like rolls of
this weevil may be found in June and July on the alder.
When about to lay her eggs, the female begins to eat a slit
near the base of the leaf on each side of the midrib, and at
right angles to it, so that the leaf may be folded together.
Before beginning to roll up the leaf she gnaws the stem
nearly off, so that after the roll is made, and has dried for
perhaps a day, it is easily detached by the wind and falls
to the ground. When folding the leaf, she tightly rolls it
up, neatly tucking in the ends, until a compact cylindrical
solid mass of vegetation is formed. Before the leaf is
entirely rolled she deposits a single egg, rarely two, in the
middle next to the midrib, where it lies loosely in a little
cavity. These rolls remain on the bushes sometimes for
several days, but probably drop by the time the larva
escapes from the egg, and it seems probable that the grub
uses the roll for a shelter until it matures and is ready to
enter on its transformation to a beetle. Common on alder.

Papilionidae
Papiuo Linnaeus
P. AJAX Linn. (4). The Black Swallow-tail. From June to
August. The larva feeds on the wild and cultivated Umh el-
lifer ae including carrot, parsnip, parsley, celery, etc. Has
decreased in numbers during the past ten years.
P. GLAUCus form turnus Linn. (15). Tiger or Yellow Swallow-
tail. Common in June and early July. The larva feeds on
a variety of plants, including cherry, apple, quince, ash,
birch, alder, poplar, etc. There was a tremendous hatch in
June, 1935 on the Island and I saw more individuals in one
week than in the entire fifteen years before.
CoLiAS Fabricius
C. EURYTHEME Bdv. form KEEWAYDIN Edw. (41).
C. EURYTHEME Bdv. (41). Orange Sulpliur-butterfly. A west-
ern species that is occasionally found in New England. Mr.
Scudder on the distribution of this species in his "Butter-
flies of New England," says: "Mt. Desert, Me., a single
specimen seen (Thaxter)." Again on page 1132, he says:
*'Mr. Thaxter was attracted to the specimen which he took
at Mt. Desert by the orange color of the wings, and says
the butterfly was apparently dancing in nuptial pas de deux
with a companion; they twirled high into the air beyond
reach, but soon separated and came to earth again, when
one was captured."
C. EURYTHEME Bdv. form ARIADNE Edw. (41).
C. PHiLODicE Godt. (42), Clouded Sulphur-butterfly. Common,
July-Sept. The larva feeds on a number of the Legumi-
nosae, but prefers the clovers.
C. INTERIOR Scud. (45). Pink-edged Sulphur-butterfly. Some-
times quite common throughout the Island in July. The
albino taken at S. W. Harbor, July 24 (Br.).

PiEBis Schrauk
P. NAPi Linn. gen. vern. oleracea Harr. (83d). White Mustard-
butterfly. Rare. Near Newport Mt. (Reich and Burton).
Formerly common throughout northern New England, but
since the introduction of Pieris rapae, it has become com-
paratively scarce, probably owing to parasites. The larva
feeds on mustard, cabbage, turnip, and other Cruciferae.
P. RAPAE Linn. (86). Imported Cabbage-butterfly. Common.
Litroduced at Quebec about 1860, it reached Mt. Desert
about 1868. The larva feeds chiefly on cabbage, but will
also feed on most of the Cruciferae, including turnip, mus-
tard, horse radish, water-cress, etc. It is usually kept in
check by parasites.
Danaidae
Danaus Kluk
D. plexippus Linn. (89). The Monarch. S. W. Harbor, July,
1918 ; east of Champlain Mt., 1924 (Burton). It is probably
only an occasional visitor during its northern migration.
In the absence of milkweed (Asclepias), the larva could
probably feed on dogbane {Apocynum) . Bar Harbor, Aug.
2 (Br.). On Sept. 23, '33 there were about sixty individuals
feeding on purple aster at Sea Wall.
Satyridae
Enodia Hubner
E. portlandia Fab. (96). The Pearl-eyed Nymph. Local in
its distribution, wood near the Sieur de Monts Spring;
Eden, July 18-24. The larva feeds on grasses. A pupa
taken at Bubble Brook July 12, '36 hatched an Amhlyteles
n.sp. One taken at Corfield July 7 was not normally marked
on the secondaries and approaches the southern form.

186 BIOLOGICAL SURVEY OF
B. ARTHEMis Dru. form prosperphsta Edw. (321). One specimen
was taken at Echo Lake, July 17, 1918. This form, which
is common in the Berkshires and Catskills, is considered a
hybrid between the more southern B. astyanax and the
northern B. arthemis. If so, the former must occasionally
reach Mt. Desert. In discussing- the probable occurrence of
prosperpina at Halifax, Nova Scotia, Mr. Scudder says: ''It
is not at all improbable that Ursula (astyanax) may yet be
found as far north as Mt. Desert, and that colonies of
prosperpina are now living along the whole coast of Maine."

IjIPAris Ochseiiheimer
L. DisPAR Linn. (3965). The Gypsy Moth. Reported in 1919
from three different places on the Island but not seen by
the writer until August 10, 1933, when one or two indi-
viduals were seen at the laboratory and a careful search
revealed large numbers. With cooperation the infestation
was stamped out by those on whose property it occurred.
There have been several infestations since, and the numbers
are increasing rapidly. They will soon be a major problem
on the Island.

282 BIOLOGICAL SURVEY OF
TiPULiDAE. The Crane Flies
TiPULINAE
In 1926 Dr. C. P. Alexander of Amherst, Mass., visited the
Island, stopping at Southwest Harbor, and found it ^'certainly
one of the richest and most remarkable faunas anywhere in
the world." For that reason, most careful collecting has
been done in this family, and Doctor Alexander and our friend,
Mr. Walter H. Harrison, the botanist, have made trips to the
Island for a few days during the past three years. They
Doctor Brower, and the writer, have collected together and
separately, and while the 197 species fall short of our goal
of 200, there is no doubt that the elusive three species, as
well as others, will be found by the time the supplement to
this list is published. We have had some of our happiest days
in this search, which we shall continue. The letter (J) is
for Johnson, and the other three are represented by their
initials.
In the Occasional Papers of the Boston Society of Natural
History, Vol. V, pp. 223-231, January 12, 1937, being part
of the second Supplementary List, Doctor Alexander gives
many records of species taken on the Island. To combine
them with the list below would be confusing, and reference is
therefore made to this paper, particularly because Doctor
Alexander discusses some of the habitats, which should be
read in connection with the listed species.

Tabanus Linnaeus. Horse Flies
Around the edges of marshes and ponds is the place for
these, but I have found the best hunting on paths and wood
roads where they hover on warm mornings. The males are
more difficult to find and should be tried for by sweeping the
edges of brooks and ponds about dawn.

warm days in spring, the adults emerge and eggs are laid
on the first colonies of aphids appearing on the shoots of
various plants, and they continue through the summer liv-
ing on various forms of aphids and undoubtedly destroy
many of the sexual females in September. Taken as late
as September 22nd. Owing to an open winter, there was a
large aphid population in the spring of 1937, and by the
first of July these flies were in enormous quantities and
would rise in swarms, while at the same time the numbers in
the other species in the genus remained the same as other
years.

Pelecinus Latreille
P. POLYTURATOR Druiy. The females are very common in
August, flying over lawns and ovipositing on the larva of
the June beetle {Pliyllophaga). Taken as late as Oct. 3.
The males of this species are supposed to be very rare.
One was collected in 1921 and three in 1922 at N. E. Harbor
by A. R. Allen. On September 2 and again on the 7th, '33
we had a very strong south wind blowing downward. Sev-
eral were seen flying around the laboratory, and I took
seven. Dr. Brower, at the same dates, took them in Bar
Harbor. Can it be that the males fly at a higher level and
are not as rare as is supposed?
