Extract

In the early part of May of the present year (1902) the writer made an attempt to collect Cicindelæ in the pine belt of North Carolina. While opportunities for observing the distribution of species were too meagre to be of much practical value, certain facts were noted that may be of interest to those studyind the genus.

The first locality visited was Jamestown, a station on the line of the Southern Railway, distant about 220 miles from the coast and 40 from the Virgina line.On the sand bars and banks of Deep River, a tributary of Cape Fear River, beautiful specimens of repanda were taken in abundance. A single duodecimguttata and a single vulgaris of the typical size were taken on the same ground, and few specimens of sexguttata, both six-and eight-spotted, on sanday paths along the wooded banks of the river.
