Collecting In the White Mountains. 



Year after year, entomologists seek the summits of the 

 White Mountains of New Hampshire in search of rare insects, 

 and the number now known from that region is so great that 

 catalogues have already become necessary. Very few persons, 

 however, have attempted to separate collections obtained on 

 the extreme heights from those obtained on the lower plateaus 

 of the barren region, or at the heads of ravines ; yet there 

 are two well defined districts above the forest limits, and 

 although most insects found above the trees are common to 

 both regions, specimens of one should not be mingled with 

 those of the other. 



With a view of inducing those who visit the mountains 

 this summer to help in the formation of distinctive alpine and 

 subalpine lists, we offer (by the kind permission of Professor 

 Charles H. Hitchcock of the New Hampshire Geological 

 Survey) the accompanying map of the White Mountains, in 

 which the alpine district is colored red and the subalpine blue. 

 The subalpine district is the region of the dwarfed spruce, 

 and includes the heads of the deepest ravines ; the alpine is 

 characterized by naked, broken masses of rock, excepting on 

 the level spots, where sedges conceal them. (Eneis semidea 

 is confined to this highest district. /Samuel IT. Scudder.
