MEROPE TUBER IN MASSACHUSETTS.
While collecting at Chester, Mass., July 25, 1913, I found a specimen of this interesting Mecopteron. The specimen was
under a board on the dam of the little reservoir on Austen's Brook, and had only recently emerged. Mr. H. S. Barber in 1904 (Proc. Wash. Ent. Soc., VI, 50) gave sixteen records for this species. Another specimen was recorded by the writer in 1904 (Psyche, XI, 38). In the collection at the Bussey Institution is a specimen from Sullivan Co., N. Y,, collected in August, 1905. C. W. JOHNSON.
MANTISPA INTERRUPTA SAY IN NEW ENGLAND.
A specimen of this rare Neuropteron was captured by Mr. Edwin R. Jump, at Lake Boone, Stowe, Mass., July 13, 1913. It is apparently the first record for this species in New -England. De- scribed from Philadelphia in 1824, it was later recorded from Vir- ginia by Uhler. It is recorded in Smith's Insects of New Jersey, 1909, from Lakehurst, July 4-30 and Lahaway in June. A speci- men of Mantispa brunnea Say taken at Walpole, Mass., is also in the collection of the Boston Society of Natural History. C. W. JOHNSON.
A QUESTION OF AUTHORSHIP.
Under the title "Limosina mirabilis Collin, a species of Bor- boridse new to the United States," a short note appeared in Psyche, vol. 19, p. 199, under the signature of Malloch and Knab. The undersigned hereby declares that he had no share in the writing of this paper, knows nothing of the subject, and that his name was subjoined, not only against his wish, but in spite of his repeated objections made to Malloch. This does not affect the status of two other papers published by the above named authors,l as the undersigned has had a sufficient share in the work connected there- with. These two last mentioned papers are the only ones in which the authors have collaborated.
