44 THE CANADIAN ENTOMOLOGIST. 



Columbia, cecropia and many others in large numbers, and although he 

 could not be prevailed on to publish his observations on the early stages 

 of these moths, the conclusion he reached, that Columbia is a good and 

 distinct species, is worthy of careful consideration. 



He corresponded with very many of our prominent Entomologists, and 

 made extensive exchanges ; and many, when they read these lines, will be 

 pained to learn that he is with us no more. 



Mr. Allen was one of the most unassuming of men, and was appre- 

 ciated at his best only by those who knew him intimately. He did not 

 confine himself to insects, but made a fine local collection in other 



departments of natural history.

ADDITIONS TO CANADIAN LISTS OF COLEOPTERA. 



BY W. HAGUE HARRINGTON, OTTAWA. 



In a list which is now being published by the Ottawa Field Natural- 

 ists' Club, of Coleoptera collected in the vicinity of Ottawa, I have 

 indicated a considerable number of species which appear not to have been 

 hitherto included in our Canadian lists. As a record of these species may 

 be of some interest to readers of the Entomologist who may not see the 

 above mentioned publication, I send you a list in which I have also incor- 

 porated a few species (distinguished by an *) which, while already 

 recorded, are of unusual rarity or interest. About twenty per cent, of my 

 species are yet unnamed, and a vast amount of work remains yet to be 

 done before the Coleoptera of this district can be considered as satis- 

 factorily known.

shady shore of the Ottawa, in June.
