  Mr. 
  Perkins 
  remarked 
  that 
  Mr. 
  Wilder 
  had 
  very 
  little 
  time 
  to 
  

   collect 
  insects 
  on 
  Midway 
  and 
  {practically 
  no 
  time 
  on 
  Laysan. 
  

   With 
  regard 
  to 
  the 
  species 
  now 
  exhibited, 
  Agrotis 
  saitcia 
  is 
  a 
  very 
  

   widely 
  destributed 
  and 
  injurious 
  species 
  and 
  is 
  common 
  in 
  the 
  

   Islands. 
  The 
  second 
  Agrotis 
  is 
  one 
  of 
  the 
  most 
  obscure 
  species 
  of 
  

   that 
  enormous 
  and 
  most 
  difficult 
  genus, 
  and 
  evidently 
  allied 
  to 
  

   our 
  Island 
  forms. 
  The 
  Prodcnia 
  is 
  hardly 
  separal)le 
  from 
  a 
  Mex- 
  

   ican 
  species, 
  also' 
  exhibited. 
  Hymcnia 
  rccurvalis 
  is 
  one 
  of 
  the 
  

   commonest 
  Hawaiian 
  moths, 
  and 
  also 
  very 
  numerous 
  in 
  Oueens- 
  

   iand 
  and 
  the 
  Malay 
  Islands. 
  The 
  small 
  Pterophorid 
  is 
  also 
  of 
  the 
  

   commonest 
  Honolulu 
  species. 
  The 
  Acalypteratc 
  Muscid 
  is 
  an 
  

   abundant 
  Honolulu 
  species 
  ; 
  the 
  Tachinid 
  probably 
  identical 
  with 
  

   one 
  of 
  ours, 
  and 
  parasitic 
  on 
  Plusia. 
  The 
  EupcUnus 
  is 
  a 
  male 
  

   unique, 
  and 
  very 
  likely 
  the 
  same 
  as 
  one 
  of 
  our 
  several 
  species. 
  

   The 
  ant 
  is 
  a 
  cosmopolitan 
  species. 
  The 
  Chrysopa 
  is 
  not 
  like 
  any
