500 specimens.
Tung Song, a major railroad
junction in southern Thailand,
is built on flat
ground in open agricultural
land marked by striking
limestone bluffs, forested
rocky crop jutting out of
the rice paddy plain.
Specimens were taken within
the town. Collecting in the
herbage and low bushes bordering
town klongs and creeks
was productive, and hymenoptera
were abundant at blossoming
garden vines. Weather -
hot, humid, partially cloudy.

PRACHUAB, 75 METERS, VII-5-62
Monsoon type forest of
large trees, open foliage, some
deciduous species. Understory
of bamboo, thornbushes, shrubs,
and some grass in the clearings.
In general, a fairly tangled
but open, languid, light, dry forest.
Though the ground was slightly
moist, rather dry conditions
prevailed. Nearly clear evening,
quarter moon shining through
the trees. Black light located
directly in the forest, in a narrow
clearing, with no large flight
lane to draw from. Insects were
attracted from nearby foliage
and from a restricted flight
range. Diurnal material collected | Page [239240]epiphytes. Some Pandanus
