Five specimens of Anceles hardii were collected at this locality on this date and given to me. They were collected by Dr. Gerhard A. Sched, parasitologist with the U.S. D.A. at Las Cruces, N.M. The locality is in the spruce-fir forest just off the road from Cloudcroft to Mescalero.
The precise spot is 0.7 mi. by speedometer beyond (north) of the boundary of the Mescalero Apache Indian Res.

These specimens were also collected by G.A. Sched in the Sacramento Mtus. This locality is near the other and is also on the road between Cloudcroft and Mescalero.
I have been to this spot and so can describe it briefly. It is on a west facing slope heavily timbered with spruce and fir. There are numerous fallen logs in varying stages of decay. The soil is sandy. There is no stream or spring nearby. The locality is one in which this species has been collected frequently by Sched. It is just off the road a few miles from Cloudcroft in a stretch where the road follows a grassy swale.

G.A. Sched also brought to California six live specimens of Plethodon neomexicana which he gave to me. One died; I am donating 3 to MVZ and am keeping 3 for NMAM. Of the six that stayed alive 3 were gg with immature ovaries,
