Butterflies and Beetles in Island 

 Park were not numereus. A carcass 

 of a buzzard, Ihitco sicaiiisoni, con- 

 tained a couple of species of sylpha; 

 an occasional Biipnstis is found in the 

 dead pines; and fn the dusty road it 

 was no trouble to catch Cicindelas, or 

 tiger beetles. A carcass of an owl 

 brought a species of Dermestis. 

 Ground Beetles were quite common in 

 most places along the river. Diligent 

 search was made for beetles all along 

 the road, and a fair list was taken. 

 In view of the fact that much ol the 

 road i« through a desert region the 

 catch is not bad. The following is a 

 list of beetles including those caught 



from Pocatello to the National Park, 

 without regard to the order in which 

 the genera are placed.
