The figure represents an individual of the maxi- mum size, inch,; smaller examples measure from inch, upward. Hylotrupes hajulus is another of the Cerambycidce. Dr. Fitch records it among the pine insects, and also as sometimes attacking the hemlock {loc. ciL). Dr. Thomas, formerly State Entomologist of Illinois, mentions it as occasionally seriously injurious to hemlock lun^ber. Dr. Harris represents it as one of the most common of its kind in the vicinity of Boston (Insects Injurious to Vegetation, page 100, plate 2, fig. 12). Kirby and Spence state of it that the grubs greatly injure the wood-work of houses in London — piercing the rafters of the roofs in every direction, and when arrived at maturity, even penetrating through sheets of lead which covered the place of their exit. It has probably been introduced in this country from Europe, as it is met with more abundantly near the sea-board. Callidium sp ? belongs to the same tribe with the preceding, and is of similar habits. The extent of its injuries is not recorded. Leptura Canadensis has been taken from hemlock stumps in the Adirondack mountains. It is probably seldom inj urious to living trees. I have found the beetle common on blossoms of the golden-rod {Soli- dago) at Long lake in the Adirondacks, in August. The two longicorn borers, of which the species were not identified occurred in the bark of fallen hemlock. The smaller one (Figure 4) resembled the larva of the common longi- corn pine-borer, llonoham- mus confusor (Kirby)—the most pernicious of the pine- borers. The figures are from the Third Report of the U. S. Pig. 4.—Larva Entomolo
