  anew 
  species. 
  In 
  this 
  neighborhood 
  and 
  at 
  the 
  same 
  time 
  I 
  

   also 
  collected 
  Nesoprosopis 
  assimilans 
  . 
  

  

  Two 
  and 
  a 
  half 
  days 
  of 
  my 
  time 
  were 
  spent 
  at 
  the 
  Ranch 
  house 
  

   of 
  the 
  owner 
  of 
  the 
  Island, 
  which 
  is 
  situated 
  at 
  an 
  elevation 
  of 
  

   about 
  1,800 
  feet 
  at 
  a 
  section 
  called 
  Koele. 
  The 
  collecting 
  I 
  did 
  

   was 
  therefore 
  of 
  necessity 
  confined 
  to 
  the 
  larger 
  valleys 
  in 
  that 
  

   locality 
  and 
  more 
  particularly 
  to 
  the 
  sides 
  of 
  these, 
  where, 
  because 
  

   of 
  protection 
  from 
  the 
  prevailing 
  strong 
  winds, 
  there 
  was 
  still 
  

   more 
  or 
  less 
  native 
  tree 
  growth 
  which 
  was 
  not 
  wind 
  swept. 
  Of 
  

   the 
  e7idemic 
  insects 
  collected 
  in 
  these 
  valleys 
  at 
  an 
  elevation 
  of 
  

   2,000 
  feet 
  were 
  the 
  following:

  * 
  Proterhinus 
  innotabilis, 
  Dr. 
  Perkins 
  informs 
  me, 
  is 
  a 
  very 
  variable 
  

   species 
  and 
  may 
  prove 
  to 
  include 
  several.
