(Night after night, as the weather permitted, almost regularly during 

 three collecting seasons and at odd times since, I have visited the electric 

 lights on the bridge crossing the Kansas river at Lawrence, particularly in 

 search of different kinds of caddis-flies, which were attracted there at times 

 in great numbers, and my success in collecting them is attested by as com- 

 plete a representation of species for this locality as could be possible, per- 

 haps.)
