THE CANADIAN ENTOMOLOGIST. 



SOME BRITISH COLUMBIA COLEOPTERA. 



BY THE REV. J. H. KEEN, MASSETT, QUEEN CHARLOTTE ISLAND, B. C. 



Last year (1890) I spent the months of July and August at Inverness 

 — a salmon-canning station at the mouth of the River Skeena, and paid 

 what attention I could spare to the beetles of the locality, a hst of which 

 I give below. For the identification of my specimens I am indebted to 

 the courtesy of the British Museum authorities at South Kensington.

 meanwhile, the following list may not be without interest : —
