" In the preparation of this as well as the Label List, the compilers have been 

 actuated by two motives, — the registering of the Entcjmological .Status of Canada 

 to this date, and the furnishing of a reliable PLxchange List for the convenience 

 of students and collectors. ... In the Lepidopteka, \V. H. Edwards in the 

 Diurnes, and (Irote in the Nocturnes, have been followed." (Preface to Check 

 List.) 



The li.st of Lepidoi'TEra is fairly complete, thougli the omission of all varie- 

 ties, and of such species as ramphila Cernes, Endai>ius Electra, et al., mars it 

 somewhat. As an e.\change list its value would have been greatly enhanced by 

 continuous numbering of the species in eacli order.
