course, is the case with the curators of public institutions, such as museums, colleges and 

 schools. In addition to these the following are active workers in Canada ; 

 Begin, Rev. P. A., Sherbrooke, Que. Gregson, Percy B., Waghorn, Alta. 



Bethune, Rev. C. J. S., London, Ont. Huard, Rev. Victor, Quebec, Que. 



Coubeaux, Eugene, Prince Albert, Sask. Lochhead, Prof. W., Guelph, Ont. 



Desrochers, Rev. J. E., Rigaud, Que. Mcintosh, Wm., St. John, N. B. 



Evans, J. D., Trenton, Ont. Stevenson, Charles, Montreal, Que. 



Fyles, Rev. Thos. \V., Levis, Que. 



It will be noticed that most of the notes collected for this year's record are on the work of 

 lepidoterists and coleopterists. A short report has kindly been prepared on Orthoptera by Mr. 

 E. M. Walker, of Toronto, and data have been supplied for that on Hymenoptera, by Mr. W. 

 H. Harrington, of Ottawa. Several collectors are devoting some attention to Diptera and 

 Hemiptera, and it is hoped that by next year this material may provide data for a more extended 

 notice of work in these orders, than is possible now. Canadian collectors are under deep obli- 

 gations to the leading specialists in the United States, who at all times have most generously 

 named material from all localities, whenever sent. 



General collectors of insects frequently ask for a list covering all orders of insects, so that 

 they may know how to arrange their collections. In most orders there is some one check list 

 which is recognized generally ; this should be used in arranging a collection. Probably the best 

 general list covering all orders is Dr. J. B. Smith's "Insects of New Jersey," which is a cata- 

 logue up to 1899, of all insects found in that State. 



Lepidoptera. 



By far the largest number of notes received refer to the Lepidoptera. For th&t reason, on 

 this occasion, these insects will receive first attention. Species are referred to, not always for 

 their great rarity, but when it is thought that a note of the occurrence in a certain locality, or 

 upon a certain date, may prove of interest to other collectors. The species are mentioned in the 

 order of Dr. J. B. Smith's " List of the Lepidoptera of Boreal America," 1891. Of works relat- 

 ing especially to Lepidoptera which have appeared in 1901, first mention should be made of 

 Mr. Beutenmliller's beautiful "Monograph of the Sesiidae of America North of Mexico," pub- 

 lished as a Memoir of the American Museum of Natural History, with eight magnificent plates. 

 By the same author is a very useful "Descriptive Catalogue of the Noctaid;e found within 

 Fifty Miles of New York City." During the year several valuable articles containing descrip- 

 tions of new species have appeared, by Prof. J. B. Smith, of New Jersey, and Dr. H. G. 

 Dyar, of Washington.
