the termination of very successful

species secured. More than 5000 spe-
cimens were brought back and DR..

new to science. The tabulated
list of the specimens follows: Cole
optera, 5,430; ciptera, 4,500; lepid-
optera, 1926; hymenoptera, 1882; or
thoptera, $50; hemiptera, 232; neurop-
terra, 169 The butterflies and moths
were collected for the most part at
night time by spreading on large cot
tonwood tree near the camp molasses
and beer, which attracted this class
of insects. In the two trips made by
DR.. Snow this summer 10000 specimens
have been secured, and these at the
outlay of 5000 appropriated by the
board of regents for the purpose. Over
100 of a species of beetles were secured
that is listed at 81 apiece. The sue
cess of the work has placed the ento-
mological collection at the University
