The Geometridiie with a few exceptions were rather scarce durins the past 

 season ; out of a total of seventy-two different species talven from JIareh to November, 

 there were no less than forty-four species of which I only obtained from one to three 

 specimens of eadi Icind. The exceptions were the genus Hj/driomoia and its allies. 

 the Petrophoras and the Cleora group. I am pleased to record the taking of two 

 specimens of that rather rare Geometer Zenophelps rit-loria, which was described by 

 the late Rev. O. W. Taylor from two specimens taken in this city. I took them both 

 in August, one on the 14th and the other on the 20th. 



I collected quite a number of Coleoptera during the season, which included 

 several very interesting forms that as yet I have not had time to determine. I was 

 fortunate in capturing three specimens of that very rare beetle Zacotiis mattlieivsil 

 in the garden attached to m.v house. I obtained two in July and one in August. 

 I was on the look-out for tiger-beetles in the spring and ear].v summer, but did not 

 see any until the first week in September, wheu I took several specimens of Ciciiulela 

 oregona at Goldstream. Appended is a list of the rarer moths captured during 1913 

 and not included in the foregoing remarks. The numbers in front of each species 

 correspond to those in Dyar"s List.
