Provincia Muspum Roeporr. R 23 




















Upon making a list of the localities given, I found that out of 278 species recorded from 
_ British Columbia 168 have been taken at Kaslo and 94 were listed from Wellington. The number 
of species recorded from other localities are as follows: Vancouver Island, 24 (no specific 
localities given) ; Victoria, 16; Vancouver, 7; and Atlin, 3. Some of the species were naturally 
recorded from several localities, but the large majority of species were either taken by Mr. J. W. 
Cockle at Kaslo or Mr. Theodore Bryant at Wellington. It is very evident from these figures 
that, outside of the above-named gentlemen, very little collecting of these small but interesting 
moths had been undertaken in any part of the Province. During the past few years, however, 
_ Messrs. Day and Hanham, of Quamichan Lake, near Duncan, have udded a number of new 
species, and Mr. Cockle has considerably augmented his earlier list. 
With the idea of extending our knowledge of the “ Micro” fauna of the southern portion of 
Vancouver Island, the writer devoted most of his time during the past season to the acquisition 
of material in this group, but owing to illness was not able to get into the field until June. 
From then until October I made collections at Maillardville, Goldstream, Mount Newton, and 
many points in the vicinity of Victoria. Mr. W. R. Carter, of the Museum staff, also assisted 
in the work and brought in some good material. I was fortunate in securing the co-operation 
of Mr. L. E. Marmont, of Maillardville, who collected extensively in that district. The material 
sent in by him was very desirable, as it contained several species new to British Columbia, 
besides a number of species previously recorded from the Interior. 
From the material collected during the season the writer was enabled to mount over 1,200 
specimens, comprising some 145 species; amongst these were four new to science, one new to 
North America, and about thirty new to British Columbia. We have also verified a number of 
species already listed and have added considerably to our knowledge of the known range of a 
great many species. 
We hope during the coming season to continue this work and would be glad to hear from 
any collectors who would be willing to send in specimens in series, as there are without doubt 
a large number of species occurring in the Province of which we have no record at present. 
Appended is a list of the species of Microlepidoptera taken at Victoria, Goldstream, and 
Maillardville during the past season which are not included in the 1906 Check-list of British 
Columbia Lepidoptera. Many of these are new records for the Province. 
(Arranged according to Barnes & MeDunnough’s Check-list of the Lepidoptera of North 
America.)
