A NEW EUREMA RECORD FOR SOUTHERN FLORIDA
I was fortunate in taking a specimen of Eurema dina subspecies helios M. Bates, on August 23, 1962, at Fairchild Gardens, Matheson Hammock, Dade County, Florida.
Dr. A. B. Klots, who kindly made the determination, stated it was the first record of its appearance in Florida, or for that matter, as far as he knew, in the United States.
The specimen will remain in the collection of the Museum of Natural History, New York, to authenticate the record.

BURDICK COLLECTION TO UNIVERSITY OF COLORADO
The University of Colorado Museum, Boulder, Colorado, has recently received a large collection of North American butterflies from the estate of William Nelson Burdick of Los Angeles, California.
The collection numbers over 20,000 specimens, of which over 7,000 are identified and prepared in such a manner as to be immediately useful for consultation, teaching and research. Over 12,000 specimens are largely duplicates which are available for exchange with other institutions and collectors. Some 1,000 specimens represent other orders of insects than butterflies, especially representative being the robber flies, in which Mr. Burdick took special interest.
William Nelson Burdick was born in Denver in 1887, the son of Dr. William Nelson Burdick, Sr., who was a well-known physician in Denver and Leadville. William N. Burdick, Jr., graduated from the University of California, majoring in Entomology, which he pursued as an avocation throughout his life. He was the author of numerous scientific papers on the subject of North American butterflies, and his bequest to the University of Colorado includes a number of unpublished manuscripts.
He is survived by his widow, Mrs. Sheila Burdick of Los Angeles.
