Extract

Having examined a good number of dead trunks of the basswood or American linden, Tilia Americana L., here this fall, I have found quite a list of Coleoptera in them either under the bark or in the decayed wood. The following is the list, which embraces thirty-four species taken from 13th October to 3rd November, 1885. Some of the species are only of accidental occurrence in the trunks, but will be readily known, and are given to record them from this locality. The determinations are mostly by Dr. Horn:—

Tachys flavicauda Gyll. Colonies or scattered individuals mixed with colonies of Silvanus planatus Germ., or by themselves, under the bark of the less decayed trunks.

* As a supplementary note to the trees of the main river district given in a previous article (Can. Entom, XVII., p. 170), I would say that I omitted to mention the basswood, which is one of the most prominent trees of the rich woods along the St. Joseph River here, on account of its stately growth and straight, bare trunk, extending upward, smooth often for more than half its height. The button-wood or Western plane tree, called also sycamore, is of the same district.
