MORE BUGS FOR K. u.
DIR. Snow and Party Return From
Arizona With Many Rare Specimens.

Lawrence, Kan, Aug. 1.-Dr. Snow's
twenty-sixth collecting expedition for
the University of Kansas museum came
to an end last evening. when the doc
tor arrived in Lawrence, after a trip of
nearly 5000 miles to and from the Santa

1t was one of his most successful trips,
the net result being over 5000 speci-
mems, including leo varieties new to the
museum of the University of Kansas
and rs specimens entirely new to sci
ence.
The next six months will be required
to properly trace, classify, mount and
arrange the specimens secured, and by
the time this is done he will have traded
enough specimens, from among the
large number of duplicates secured, to
run the net increase in the collections
here to thousand or twelve hundred
species.
The most valuable specimen was
large tiger beetle. This DR.. Snow be-
lieves to be entirely new to science. Ac-
made careful scientific study of it,
however, he cannot be positive of this.
Oh the many specimens the beetle COL
lection. as a whole. is the most valu
able. In all, he got $40 species of bee
ties, 90 of which were new to the uni
versity collection and 25 new to the
scientific world. As a result of DR..

board adjourned. Rozzen was on the

armed Arthur and quiet was restored.
Earlier in the session Gallagher called
Chief Hayes a liar when the latter
