BY F. AIUIR. 



Hawaiian entomologists have always been interested in the 

 insect fauna of the Samoan archipelago, especially since Dr. 

 Perkins described a species of Protcrhinus ''' from there. As 

 none of the Hawaiian entomologists could arrange to visit 

 Samoa, ]\lr. W. M. Gififard did the next best thing — he inter- 

 ested a resident of Pago Pago in insects and persuaded him 

 to collect. 



In the latter part of 1917 ]\Ir. Gififard, through his friend. 

 Captain J. H. Trask of the S. S. Sonoma, started a corre- 

 spondence with Captain J. M. Poyer of the U. S. X. who at 

 that time was Governor of American Samoa. Governor Poyer 

 referred him to Dr. H. C. Kellers, U. S. N., then stationed 

 in Tutuila. This was a very fortunate choice as Dr. Kellers, 

 although professing to be no entomologist, got together a 

 very interesting collection which, in some of the groups of 

 smaller insects, has given us our first good idea of what is 

 present in the islands of Tutuila and Xiiie. This good result 

 is also partly due to Mr. Giffard's advice as to what to look 

 for and to the collecting apparatus that he forwarded to Dr.
