Extract

The past two seasons in Kansas have proved fairly profitable to the collector of Coleoptera. To the plains collector the “open” season for successful collecting extends from April 1st to October 15th. If he is so fortunate as to reside beside or near a wooded stream, his “open” season covers the cycle of the months, as winter sifting proves almost as profitable as collecting during the summer months, especially if he looks after the small things, and he is not possessed of the genuine collector's spirit if he does not look carefully after the minute things in insect life.

* Prof. S. W. Williston, of the State University at Lawrence, Kansas, who was one of the original discoverers of this species at Wallace, tells me that in 1877, while collecting along these bluffs with his brother, he took as many as a hundred specimens in one night. In recent years, however, they have never been taken in any numbers.
