Panagœus crucigerus, Say.—The living beauty of this beetle is but feebly represented by the dull and faded examples usually seen in collectios. Its bright sparkling colours lose their brilliancy onward after life cases, for which no restorative has yet been discovered. It is not infrequent along the New Jersey coast, occurring sometimes in abundance. The mature insects may be found on Brigantine Beach from teh middle of July onward.
