ErUtor'a ^^^^ Southwest Museum of Los 



Angeles through its Entomologi- 

 Corner (.^i Department, is compihng a 



check hst of diurnal Lepidoptera (Rhopalocera) oc- 

 curring in the southwest territory. This includes 

 California, Arizona, New Mexico and Colorado. Col- 

 lectors having species from these states would render 

 material aid by forwarding their lists, with month of 

 recorded capture, exact locality, etc. The museum 

 is particularly desirous of securing definite locality 

 data for the more local species. It is planned to in- 

 corporate with this list a directory of Entomologists 

 residing in these four states. Information may be 

 sent to Dr. John Comstock. 1275 Belleview Ave., Los 

 Angeles, Calif. ; or to the Entomological Department, 

 Southwest Museum, Avenue 46 and Marmion Way, 

 Los Angeles, California. 



The Auction Manager's report shows that 862 speci- 

 mens listed at $335.00 were sold during the year 1916. 

 The average price paid per specimen was about 8 cents. 

 It must be said that a great many of the specimens 

 were damaged, bringing a low price and thus lowering 

 the whole average, and some groups ofTered were not 

 of interest to the members and brought practically 

 nothing.
