numerous species of Lepidoptera and leads us to expect a well- 

 represented fauna of this order. 



Owing to the fact that so few local lists of Michigan Lepi- 

 doptera have been published, it is not practical to attempt to 

 compare the fauna of Douglas Lake with that of other parts 

 of the state. The present list contains a large number of spe- 

 cies of northern range. When compared with the studies on 

 Canadian Lepidoptera by Dod, Gibson, Winn, and others, a 

 distinct resemblance to the faunas of Quebec, Ontario, and 

 Manitoba is evident. A detailed comparison with the south 

 Canadian fauna is interesting, but beyond the limitations of 

 this paper. 



The value of local surveys in extending our knowledge of 

 the distribution of any group of insects depends greatly upon 

 the accuracy of the identification of the species involved. In 

 order to make the following list as accurate as possible, all de- 

 terminations involving the slightest uncertainty due to defect- 

 ive specimens, insufficient material, and the like, have been 

 indicated. The writer wishes to express his indebtedness to 

 Dr. William Barnes, of Decatur, Illinois, for the privilege of 

 working in his splendid collection. Acknowledgments are also 

 due to Dr. Barnes and his colleague, Dr. J. H. McDunnough, 

 for assistance in determining the more difficult material.
