[[margin: I]]
This place would have been worth a much longer stay. A little night collecting with light "trap" and lantern would

seem to be worth trying. Sweeping was

even more productive than at Station 8. A beautiful black and white weevil was present and many Cassididae, especially.
[[margin]] Sta. 9. B. [[/margin]]
Under chips and bark of the stumps of recently felled trees found a large number of one species of [[pencil annotation: (175)]] Staph, with at least one specimen of [[pencil annotation: (5)]] Tachyporinae, and a few Nitidulids 
[[margin: B]]
and small [[Cucujids?]]. The vegetation is exceedingly dense and varied. Vines are very abundant, with [[^insertion]] many [[/insertion]] kinds of bushes, quite a few flowers, and all sorts of trees.
[[margin: I]] At a point about a mile further north on
[[margin]] Sta. 9. C. [[/margin]]
the road I found a fine glossy black Scarab. It was lying dead in the wheeltrack. The collection owes this specimen to what may be called "entomologist's eye." Even though dodging bumps and watching the landscape I managed to see and recognize it in time to swerve out and not run over it. There were many more butterflies about, and dragon-flies, and large bugs. Much more as I remember the things in Panama.
