surroundings have caused scanty records. The abundance in 

 the Lepidoptera and Hymenoptera is explained by their prom- 

 inent positions in the fields or woods, and the great ease in 

 quickly and accurately distinguishing them. Many times the 

 present number of species could have begn tabulated, if I had 

 been able to recognize them in their quick ways. Quantities 

 were seen only for an instant or in the distance, and so lost for- 

 ever. 



In the succeeding pages such words as "several" and ''nu- 

 merous" are continually used. I explain their meaning so as 

 to allow others to form a definite idea of the numerical su- 

 periority of some species over others. The first mentioned 

 word will represent quantities of from four to twelve, while 

 the latter will signify that the number of specimens ranged 



from thirteen upward.
