mainder of the journey. While waiting here for the horses to be 

 saddled and packs adjusted a few miscellaneous insects were 

 picked up. 



South Fork Creek, August 9 and u. Along this creek 

 there is a good wagon road with trails branching off here and 

 there to a number of mines. Dr. Dyar, Mr. Cockle, Mr. Cau- 

 dell, Mr. Allen, our guide Joe and myself left South Fork sta 

 tion during the forenoon of August 9 on our way to the Kitch 

 ener Glacier. Specimens picked up along this road, going to 

 and returning from the glacier, bear the label "South Fork 

 Creek." The road leads through a forest of large cedars and 

 hemlocks, replaced, as higher altitudes are reached, by spruces 

 and firs. A water-covered meadow near the creek, visited 

 on the return trip (August n), proved to be an excellent place 

 for collecting mosquitoes and a large number of mayfly nymphs 

 were dredged from the water. 



Kokanee Mountain (altitude, at foot of Kitchener Glacier, 

 7,500 to 8,OOO feet), August 10 and n . After following the 

 South Fork Creek wagon road for a distance of about seventeen 

 miles from South Fork we turned off to the left and climbed Ko 

 kanee Mountain by a switchback trail. Below the peaks of the 

 mountain is a good sized glacier, known as Kitchener Glacier, 

 from which several creeks take their rise, South Fork Creek 

 among them. Below the glacier and at the head of South Fork 

 Creek are two small lakes, one just above the other. At each 

 lake is a mining camp, neither of which were occupied by human 

 beings at the time of our visit, although a porcupine had posses 

 sion of the camp by the lower lake. We went on to Mansfield 

 Camp, on the upper lake, and made this our stopping place. 

 The cabin stands close beside the lake, and straight across, over 

 hanging the opposite bank, was a wall of glacial ice. 



Next morning, August 10, the day was mostly clear and pleas 

 ant and we arose early. After donning smoked glasses and 

 waterproof footwear we went on up the mountain and out upon 

 the glacier. On the snow, which largely covered the glacier, 

 were quite a number and variety of insects, many of them dead 

 but a good number alive and uninjured. Mr. Allen took several 

 photographs and Mr. Caudell and I, after exploring the lower 

 end of that part of the glacier which gives rise to Coffee Creek, 

 climbed to the summit of the highest peak of the mountain said 

 to be the tallest peak in this entire region. It took us about an 

 hour and a half to make the ascent over the snow-covered ice, 

 and we had to use care to avoid the crevasses. 



The extreme peak projects above the snow and ice and is a 

 mere mass of large loose rocks, having only a few yards area on 

 top. The view was magnificent. Upon the opposite side to
