When first observed, the larva was lying on the ground and the wasp was moving about some 6 in. away. As we approached, the Ammophila, apparently disturbed, seized the large caterpillar and ran into the adjoining vegetation, where it was captured. All the forms mentioned as breeding beneath sand, feed at the surface of the soil or upon the vegetation. In open places among the black oak we find the same grasshoppers as in the earlier stages. The hog-nosed snake (40) is common; it spreads and flattens out its head when dis- turbed; when handled roughly it often goes into a death feint, such as the oriental snake-charmers produce in their poisonous snakes by pres-.
