In order to furnish the means of estimating the success of our expedition in collecting 

 insects, it may be stated that the number of species of coleoptera collected in Colorado 

 in 1873 by the Government expedition under Lieut. Carpenter, was 165. In the summer 

 of 1872 Mr. J. D. Putnam, of Davenport, Iowa, collected 250 species in the same region.
