basin we found a leonorus aibiricua /Labiatae/ blooming in great profusion, it waa excellent aingllng place for Apoidea. Above the paature clouda of dragonfliea /Libellulidae/ hovered, aome were taken with ease, others have been hunted down only at the price of great pains. We were again able to catch a large diurnal butterfly /1 species/ besides some smaller ones. Flooded area of a river. Sa-gam /Nos 163-165/ . - 45 km H of Pyongyan and some 5 km from lake Sa-gam /Sa-gam po/ we collected on the flooded area of an unknown river in a wonderful clear weather, with a temperature of 32-34 °C in the shade. On the pebbly-atony bank we aingled 6-8 species of grasshoppers, 2-3 species of digger wasps, while in the bay-bara 5-6 apeciea of carabida came forward. Above the left-over puddlea and rotting vegetation great numbera of dung fly /Sphaeroceridae/ have been swept. In the bushy-graaay vegetation bordering the atony bank we uaed aweepingneta and did aifting, occaaionally by singling we caught some interesting specimens. A large number of mantids /Mantodea/ were flying about . The majority of the swept insects were beetles /Chrysomelidae/ and bugs /Hemi- and Homoptera/o Za-mo san /Nos 186-187, 230-233/ . - The territory of Za-mo san, according to our Korean escort is a nature reserve,, This area which we Yisited twice is 60 km ME from the capital. During the Korean War the Kim Ir-Sen University was temporarily moved out here, well protected in the basin by the high, steep-sided mountains. We climed a 500-600 m high mountain E of the basin. Our collecting sites were the shrubby stretches between the maize and soya bean plantations, the cultivated areas which for this year were left untouched grown over with weeds and in the thickets on the banks of a brook. Soon we reached a deciduous forest /Fraxinus chinenais, Maackia amurensis, Quercus dentata, Qu. mongolica, Zelkova aerrata/ with many cheatnut trees /Oastanea crenata/oThe closing of the foliage was rather loose, the many small clearings and groves proved to be good collecting sites especially for sweeping. The largest number of insects was collected among the soft-stemmed plants on the umbellates /Angelica dahurica, Peucedanum sp./» catnips /Valeriana sp 0 /
