36 ENTOMOLOGICAL SOCIETY 



way between Arrowhead and Revelstoke, I captured a few mos 

 quitoes which entered the car. A few moths and other insects 

 were taken that evening at the electric lights on the balcony of 

 the C. P. R. Hotel at Revelstoke. 



The following morning (August 15) I took the transcontinental 

 eastbound Canadian Pacific train, and thus ended my own col 

 lecting so far as British Columbia was concerned. Sunday was 

 spent at Banff, in Alberta, the main station of the beautiful 

 Rocky Mountain Park of Canada, and here I picked up a few 

 insects while out walking. The scenery around Banff reminded 

 me of parts of the Yellowstone Park. Here I met Mr. N. B. 

 Sanson, who is Curator of the Park Museum, and had a most 

 pleasant visit with him. 



Dr. Dyar and Mr. Caudell left Kaslo on August 20. They 

 took the lake steamer to Nelson at the foot of the lake ; Mr. Cau 

 dell going east from that point and leaving British Columbia by 

 the Crow's Nest Pass branch of the Canadian Pacific Railway 

 and securing a few specimens at Nelson and Kootenay Landing. 



Dr. Dyar has given me the following account of the remainder 

 of his trip. He went from Nelson to Revelstoke by the Arrow 

 Lakes steamer, collecting a few specimens at Nelson, West Rob- 

 son, Nakusp and Revelstoke. Thence he went west on the 

 main line of the C. P. R., reaching Vancouver August 23. He 

 left the next day and crossed the water to Victoria on Vancouver 

 Island. Five days were spent here doing a little collecting and 

 visiting several resident entomologists. Mr. A. W. Hanham, 

 Mr. E. M. Anderson and Mr. E. Baynes Reed were met and 

 several pleasant hours spent with them. From Victoria, on the 

 way to Wellington, Dr. Dyar visited Shawnigan Lake, a station 

 on the Esquimault & Nanaimo Railway. At Wellington, at the 

 end of the railroad, he was entertained by Rev. G. W. Taylor, 

 whose studies of North American Geometridae are just taking 

 definite shape. Mr. Theo. Bryant was also met here. Dr. Dyar 

 returned to Victoria on September 5, and went back to the main 

 land the same night. At Vancouver he visited Mr. R. V. Har 

 vey and Mr. A. H. Bush, resident collectors. The same day he 

 started for home by the main line of the C. P. R. On Septem 

 ber 7 a stop was made at Glacier in the Selkirk Range, and on 

 September 8 another at Field. A number of moths were picked 

 up at both places although the weather was stormy and cold. On 

 September 10 and n a short stop was made at Banff, Alberta, 

 but it was snowing heavily over all the mountain peaks and rain 

 ing in the town, so practically no insect life was seen. 



The material collected on the trip is now in the U. S. National 

 Museum, together with about 500 specimens of Lepidoptera 

 which were given Dr. Dyar for the National Museum by the en-
