14 BIOLOGICAL SURVEY OF 



A paper on the tiger beetles '^ seems to be the only paper 

 published pertaining especially to insects found on the island. 



The late Prof. H. C. Fernald and his son Dr. H. T. Fernald 

 have collected many insects on the island. These are now in 

 the collection of the Massachusetts Agricultural College, 

 Amherst, Massachusetts, and have been studied in connection 

 with this list. The summers of 1909 to 1911 were spent by 

 the late Dr. Charles Sedgwick Minot at Northeast Harbor. 

 In his younger days Dr. Minot was greatly interested in the 

 study of Lepidoptera, and here he renewed his first love for 

 nature by making a large and exceedingly valuable collection 

 of insects, mostly of moths which he captured at lights. Sev- 

 eral of the insects were new to science and others very rare, 

 some of the moths not having been collected since Packard 

 recorded them in his monograph of the Geometridae in 1876. 

 In all, over 280 species of Lepidoptera with many other in- 

 sects were collected by him. These are in the collection of 

 the Boston Society of Natural History. 



In connection with its work on the New England fauna, 

 the Boston Society of Natural History in 1918 selected the 

 island of Mount Desert as a place for a part of its summer 

 work, this location presenting favorable conditions for a 

 study of insects in relation to life zones. July 10th to 18th 

 was spent by me at Southwest Harbor, the field work being 

 confined to the woods south of Manset, ''Great Heath," the 

 southern portions of Echo Lake and Long Pond (Great Pond) 

 and the southern slope of Western Mountain. 



In 1919, my work from July 17th to 31st was confined to 

 the vicinity of Bar Harbor, collecting at the Nurseries, at the 

 foot of Picket Mountain, Sieur de Monts Spring, Duck Brook, 

 Witch Hole Pond, Green Mountain, and for one day (July 

 27th), on the salt marsh at the Narrows near the bridge. 



From August 10 to 19, 1920, the above localities near Bar 

 Harbor were again visited, with one day (August 13th) spent 

 at the Narrows in company with Mr. Barrington Moore.
