| OF Newbcrry:
Doctor O. B. Mayor, Ncwbcrry, South
Carolina.
Dear sir: In the absence of the Act
ing Assistant Secretary, desire to ac-
knowledge the receipt of two beetles
transmitted by you. They are reported
by Mr.. w. II. Ashmend, Assistant Gu
rator In the Department of Insects, to
represent the sexes Of our largest Scar
ab@id, Dynastes tityus, Linn, a species
which is not uncommon in the United
States. The change Of color from u
mottled green to dark brown is of Il
common occurrence, and is supposed to
be due to u secretion from tho insect.
Mr.. Ashmcad adds that the favorite
food of this bcctlo is the black ash tree,
Fraximus sambucifolia. The strong and
peculiar odor which you have noticed
Is emitted from the bruised leaves and
twigs of this species of ash, and has
been subject of frequent comment.
Doctor Asa Gray compares it to tho
scent OF the Elder. The insects them
selves, both in the larval and image
stage, also emit strong od0r.
Very respectfully,
Il. w. TRUE,
Executive Curator.
