6,810, Chrysomela multipunctata, Say. This fine species was extremely 

 abundant on willows along the Saskatchewan E-iver at Rudy on 

 July 19, (Fletclier and Willing).

 ables) ; Banff, (Sanson); Peacliland, (Wallis). 



7,994. Dendroides canadensis, Lat. Trenton, June 17 to Aug. 8, five 

 specimens. I have not taken this species for many years, (Evans). 

 Two specimens were brought back from the Skagway District in 

 Northern British Columbia, by G. White-Fraser and R. Smith. 



8,134. Cantharis viridana, Lee. Rudy, July 20, (Fletcher). 



8,271. Amnesia ursina, Horn. On raspberries, destructive to the buds, 

 Vernon, B.C., (Venables) ; Victoria B.C. (Taylor).

8,427. Phytonomus punctatus, Fab. Harrison, B.C., August, (Wilmot). 

 The Clover Leaf Weevil was found on Vancouver Island for the 

 first time in 1902, by Mr. Hanham. Mr. Wilmot's record shows 

 that it has now worked its way up the Fraser valley as far as 

 Harrison. 



8,482. Hyporjiolyx pineti, Fab. Skagway District of Northern British 

 Columbia, (White-Fraser and Smith). 



8,498. Lixus concavus, Say. Ottawa, September, three specimens found 

 on Polygonum pennsylvanicum,, (Young). This is the Rhubarb 

 Weevil which in some parts of the United States has sometimes 

 given trouble, but is rare in Canada. This is the first time the 

 species has been recorded from the Ottawa District. 

 Otidocephalus chevrolatii, Horn. Meach Lake, Aug. 1, (Young). 

 Orchestes rujipes, Lee. This rare little weevil was very abundant 

 and destructive to willows at Ottawa in Sept., the larvae mining 

 in the leaves and the mature beetles eating out the surface in a 

 similar way to flea-oeetles, (Fletcher). 



9,667. Amhlopusa brevipes, Casey, var. Metlakatla, (Keen). 



10,767. Nocheles vestitus, Casey. Kelowna, injuring buds of Apple, May,

 chell); Grand Forks, B.C., June 6, (M. Miller). 



Hymenoptera. 



Work among the hymenoptera seems to have lagged behind a good deal 

 during the last three years. This is much to be regretted, owing to the great 

 importance of these insects. Moreover, the difiiculty in separating the gen- 

 era and species is sometimes so great that it alone should serve as a stimu- 

 lus to those who are looking for a specialty in which they may do good work. 

 A few records have been received, which it is well to include here. A col- 

 lection of Bomhi has been sent to Mr. H. J. Franklin, of Amherst, Mass., 

 who is making a specialty of these insects, and who has kindly furnished 

 the names of a few of the more interesting which are here given as a begin- 

 ning. It is to be hoped that these will be largely added to in succeeding 

 years. The wasps and bees present excellent fields for special work. 



Zarcea inflata, Nort. Trenton, reared from larvae feeding upon a shrub in 

 my garden last year; more larvae were found this year, (Evans).
