Wickham, H.F. 1898. Recollections of old collecting grounds. II. - The lower Rio Grande Valley. Entomological News 9: 22-24.

The region about Brownsville. Texas, is one of great interest, but only lately has it been explored entomologically with any degree of care. Within the past two years, however, the country has been visited and worked by Prof. Townsend, Mr. Schwarz and the writer.*

It is by no means ready of access, since a visit implies either a long trip by steamer from New Orleans or Morgan City, or a cross-country stage ride of some 160 miles from Alice The latter has the advantage of convenience since the stages are run daily, while the steamer dates are about ten days apart.
