return to Laramie. Mr. Cordiner remained with the 

 party, and, although it was becoming late in the collect- 

 ing season and the route lay through a rather barren 

 region, made doubly so by the large flocks of sheep 

 that had been driven over the range, yet a number 

 of interesting species were secured, but unfortunately, 

 most of this material was lost by the burning of a car in 

 the Laramie yards the night of its arrival. 



The writer was in the field eight weeks and two days 

 and the other members of the party ten weeks and three 

 days. During this extended tiip 900 numbers were made 

 (including some that were secured after the return to 

 Laramie), which, added to the 300 collected during the 

 spring, made 1,200 numbers for the season of 1894. 

 These were all collected in duplicate, ten or more sheets 

 of each number being prepared w^henever the material 

 could be procured. This omniverous collecting resulted in 

 quite a percentage of duplicates, so that the actual num- 

 ber of species, not counting forms, was probably not 

 much abfjve 1,000. 



1895. 



In 1895 it was not found possible to spend even the 

 whole of the vacation in the field but all available time 

 was utilized during the entire season. Especial effort 

 was directed toward procuring such species as were not 

 secured in 1894, and it seemed wise to concentrate effort 

 upon a much more limited area. To this end four expe- 

 ditions were planned and carried out. 



The first one left Laramie June 27, going to the east 

 and working Pole Creek, Table Mountain and adjacent 

 territory, 103 species being secured. The second left 

 Laramie July 25, camp being established at Cummins
