Jamaica 28.
[[underlined]] Station 416. [[/underlined]]
A roadside pond about 5 miles west of Black River [[left margin]] + 3 Staphs [[/left margin]] (1 1/2 miles southeast of Scott's Cove). From mud banks took 16 + 119 Staphs (including 2 or 3 black [[underlined]] Stenus [[/underlined]] ), many Carabids, Chrysomelids, Coccinellids, etc.
[[underlined]] Station 417. [[/underlined]]
Scott's Cove (Seals Cove), 8 miles by road west of Black River. A shallow tidal basin. Collected a lot of live shells, but found no insects.
[[underlined]] Station 418. [[/underlined]]
Bluefield's Bay, about 10 miles southeast across from Savanna-la-mar. From under seaweed took 3 [[underlined]] Cafius [[/underlined]], many [[underlined]] Phaleria [[/underlined]], and a Carabid. Ed could find none of the new Coccinellid on beach grape.
[[underlined]] Station 419. [[/underlined]]
1/2 mile east of Speculation, about 3 miles northwest of Black River. From cow dung took 4 Staphs (Aleocharae), and many [[underlined]] Oniticellus [[/underlined]].
[[underlined]] Station 410. [[/underlined]]
1/2 mile west of Luana, about 3 miles north [[strikethrough]] west [[/strikethrough]] of Black River. From cow dung took numerous Staphs, a few [[underlined]] Oniticellus [[/underlined]], Sphaeridiinae, [[strikethrough]] [[?]] [[/strikethrough]] Aphodius, etc. Ed took a bottle of spiders at this place.

Santa Cruz, and Spur Tree (label as Santa Cruz). From the net over the car took a huge series of beetles. 2092. Staphs, 3 species of Scarabs besides many [[underlined]] Aphodius [[/underlined]], Cryptophagids, Elaterids, Nitidulids, etc. We were both surprised and pleased to find the Scarabs but can't tell where they were except between Luana and Spur Tree Hill. Practically nothing came in the net beyond Spur Tree.
We had tire trouble twice. One of the tires fixed at Mandeville yesterday gave out on the spare rack! Had it fixed in Black River.
[[left margin]] II-25-37 [[/left margin]] Spent the forenoon at Kensworth. We went for a walk about the estate, catching Bruchids, etc. Then we investigated one of the sink holes. Found it to be a rock [[strikethrough]] y [[/strikethrough]] walled crevasse at least 30 to 40 feet deep and perhaps 8 feet wide. No water audible. We developed a fine bunch of chiggers.
After lunch we went to Alligator Pond again, by way of Mandeville, Spur Tree and Gutters, and the road down the valley. We managed to find one more "paratype" of [[underlined]] Psyllobora [[/underlined]] n. sp., collected some live shells, and went swimming.
Just at sunset we put up the net and drove back along the road to Gutters, then a short distance each way along the main road several times and finally home thru Alligator Pond and Cross Keys.
