A Collecting Adventure Near Home (Coleop.). 



By FRANK R. MASON, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. 



Early June, 1921, found Mr. Alan S. Nicolay, of Brooklyn, 

 New York, and myself scouring' the subalpine region of the 

 White Mountains, Xew Hampshire, in search of Coleoptera, 

 especially the rarer forms of Cychrini. However most species 

 of this group arc rare and require rather careful hunting. 



\Vc confined our efforts largely to the higher slopes of Mount 

 Madison, Carter's Dome and up through Tuckennan's Ravine 

 to the summit of Mount Washington ((>2S8 ft.). All these 

 points are accessible from Glen House, Xew Hampshire, which 

 is the center of the wildest remaining section of the White 

 Mountain region, far enough removed from tin cans and lunch 

 boxes and the blare of auto horns to occasionally see a wild-cat 

 slink along the trail and often raise a covey of grouse in the 



denser thickets.
