ENTOMOLOGY. 
3yY E. H. Brackmork, F.E.S. 
The season of 1923 has been a most peculiar one from a collecting standpoint. Insects that 
are generally common have been very scarce, while others that have been regarded as some- 
what rare have been taken in series. 
Reports from ntany localities throughout Southern British Columbia all agree as to the 
remarkabie absence of noctuid moths. This makes the third year in suecession that the scarcity 
in this large family has been particularly noticeable. 
The weather was exceedingly poor for collecting until the middle of July, as from the early 
spring until that time there were a great number of rainy days. The balance of the season 
right up to the end of the fall was very fine and dry, with a corresponding increase of insect- 
life, particularly amongst the Geometride. 
The European satin-moth (Stilpnotis salicis Linn) still continues to spread, two or three 
specimens having been taken in Victoria by Mr. W. R. Carter, Assistant Biologist of the Pro- 
vincial Museum, and a couple of individuals were captured by Captain J. Wise at Saanich- 
ton, B.C.
