Interesting Capture.
OPT April 19 I took at Hyde Park a hibernated specimen of Nymphalis Milberti Godt. This species, common as it is in the northern part of New England, is extremely rare near Boston, which seems to be very near its southern limit, al- though single specimens have been recorded as taken as far south as Long Island and Philadelphia. I know of but one specimen having been observed in Connecticut, but in Massa- chusetts, west of Boston, several have been taken at Spring- field, Williamstown, and other localities. As we go north it becomes very abundant, and in New Hampshire, Canada, and northern New York, it is one of the commonest species. I have caught at Binghamton, N. Y., as many as twenty-five or thirty specimens in the course of an hour. H. K. Mornion. HENTZ'S SPIDERS.- The papers on Araneld~ of the United States, pub- lished many years ago in the Boston Journal of Natural History and else- where, are to be collected and reprinted in a single volume by the Boston Society of Natural History, and edited by the Secretary, Mr. Edward Burgess. The work will be published in June, and will contain about one hundred pages and nineteen plates, including two new plates, mostly of structural details, by Emerton, and all the old ones, either from the orlginal copperplates or heliotype reproductions. Mr. Emerton will also contribute notes upon the species. 3. Pickman Mann.
