corns Say. Under stones along the canyon stream were also 

 found Philonthusfnri'Hs Nord., basctlis Horn and Dianus nitidu- 

 Ins L/ec. Two specimens of the Cerambycid, Lcptnra crysocoina 

 Kirby were beaten from alder bushes, together with a species 

 of Pachybrachys. From the same bushes were beaten Pcntariu 

 Irifasciiitii Melsh. and Anthicns sfcllatns Csy. 



Lagoon is a summer resort sixteen miles north of Salt Lake 

 City. It is situated at the foot of Wasatch Mountains and 

 three miles east of the lake. I collected there, June 25th, going 

 west from Lagoon to the Lake. The wind was strong from 

 the west and the temperature below sixty degrees, so catches 

 were not very numerous. However, I found one specimen of 

 Calosoma tcpidnm Lee. and the mutilated remains of another. 

 Around the margins of salt ponds were found nonbidnin in 

 considerable numbers. I took bifossulatum, Lee., insulatum, 

 Lee. and approximation Lee. Bt achy tins cordicollis Dej. and 

 Chleznius pennsylvanicus Say were found under railway ties. A 

 species of Ccelambus ( Intcscois Lee. ) was taken in a fresh water 

 pond. Aphodius vittatus Say occurred under cow chips, to- 

 gether with numbers of Mctachroma calif arnica Cr. J'hyllotrcta 

 lewisi Cr. were beaten from flowering plants, together with 

 an O.vacis bicolor Lee. Nemognatha bicolot Lee. were found in 

 thistle heads. The only two species of Cnrcnlio taken were 

 Copturus adspersus Lee. and a single specimen of Rhodobtznu* 

 ij-pnnctatns 111. 



Coming down into the Salt Lake valley from the northeast 

 is City Creek Canyon. City Creek dashes over the rocks at 

 the bottom of this canyon and is fed by springs and the melt- 

 ing snows of the higher peaks of the Wasatcli range. The 

 canyon is wooded and has a varied and abundant insect fauna, 

 constantly changing with the elevation. I spent three or lour 

 hours in this canyon June 28th, in company with my friend, ('.. 

 \V. Browning, a native of Salt Lake City, an enthusiastic lepi- 

 dopterist and an artist of no mean ability. This cum <>n is his 

 favorite collecting ground for Lepidoplera and he is familiar 

 with its every curve and physical feature for miles. As in 

 Ogden Canyon, Philonthns fnrrns Nord. was the c<>mnn>iK-si 

 Staphylinid, occurring under stones at the edge of the stream.
