L8 BIOLOGICAL SURVEY OF 



collection of tlif Massachusetts State College, Amherst, 

 Mass. 



In connection with their work on the New England fauna, 

 the New England Society of Natural History, in l!)ls, selected 

 the [sland of Mt. Desert as a place for pari of its summer 

 work, this location presenting favorable conditions for a 

 study of insects in relation to life /ones, and Mr. Charles W. 

 Johnson, Curator, spent from 10 days to 2 weeks on the Island 

 each summer until 1926. We met and joined forces, which 

 resulted in the publication of Part I of the Survey in 1!)"27. 

 Our intention was to continue the work together as soon as I 

 was through with the first part of the marine work. 8 His 

 passing put an end to that happy association, hut left me 

 with the remembrance of one of the besl informed and most 

 att ract ive of naturalists. 



LABORATORY 



The main Laboratory of the Survey is situated at Corfield 

 on Frenchman's Bay. There, and at Penikese, 5 miles to the 

 .westward, Light and other traps have been run for several 

 years, from the beginning of May until the end of October. 

 These are not the small traps, lint rooms painted white, with 

 ula>> louvres in the windows, and Lights both outside and 

 inside. These lights were changed both as to color and 

 intensity and thus a great number of individuals were taken 

 which, sorted out, yielded many species. Bait traps of differ- 

 ent kinds were run constantly at both of these stations as well 

 as at other parts of the Island.
