SOME RESULTS OF THE UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS 

 ENTOMOLOGICAL EXPEDITIONS 



To Galveston and Brownsville, Tex., in 1904 and 1905. 



By F. H. Snow. University of Kansas, Lawrence. 



T^HE writer conducted two entomological expeditions to Texas 

 -*~ for the museum of the University of Kansas in the years 1904 

 and 1905. Each of these expeditions had Brownsville, the extreme 

 southern point of the state, as its objective point, but on account 

 of the wretched connections with the one lone steamer between 

 Galveston and our destination, as well as the limited time at our 

 disposal, we spent the three weeks of our first stay, in May, at Gal- 

 veston, but succeeded in reaching our original destination by rail 

 in 1905, by the new Gulf Coast line. We remained at Browns- 

 ville from June 6 to July 8, encamped within a mile of the post- 

 oflBce, beside the estuary, or old bed of the Rio Grande, which 

 forms a part of the dividing line between the United States and 

 Mexico. The entire collecting period of the two trips was seven 

 and a half weeks. 



My associates at Galveston were my regular museum assistant, 

 Mr. E. S. Tucker, and a postgraduate student in entomology. Dr. 

 Charles F. Adams, the well-known dipterologist. At Brownsville 

 I was assisted by Mr. Tucker and an undergraduate student, Mr. 

 E. G. Corwine. The success of the two expeditions was largely 

 due to the efficient cooperation of these gentlemen. 



This paper contains lists of the species collected in the orders of 

 Lepidoptera, Coleoptera, and Hemiptera-heteroptera. Lists in the 

 other orders of insects will be published at a later date.
