COLEOPTERA COLLECTED IN NORTHERN ONTARIO. 



By H. A. and H. W. Wenzel, Philadelphia, Pa. 



The following list of species were collected, by the writers, 

 under somewhat unfavorable conditions; a great deal of rain 

 made collecting difficult, especially among the conifers. 



The districts visited were: North Bay on Lake Nipissing, 

 a district not favorable for collecting on account of vicinity 

 having been cleared of all timber; Callander, a few miles south 

 on above lake, which has a growth of small pines and other 

 conifers with the usual growth of birches (a good district, 

 especially for Buprestidae) ; Scotia Junction and vicinity, which 

 is of interest owing to a variable flora found there and which 

 should give good results at the proper season; Huntsville, and 

 the portage on Lake of Bays. The district back of the steamer 

 landing, North Portage, if collected at the right season, should 

 yield some interesting material. The flora is very variable 

 and of a luxurious growth, more so than at any other place 

 visited.
