71 



cent, of Lake Superior, but only 13 per cent, or ten species of the 

 Florida list. Of 32 Green Mountain species we have 24, or seventy- 

 five per cent. Only two species are common to all the lists, viz., 

 Xylotrechus colonus and Urogrcqjhis fasciatus. 



Adding together the three families we have just considered, the 

 totals are : Ottawa 231 species, Florida 157, Lake Superior 190, 

 Michigan 204, Grimsby 215, Quebec 223, and Buffalo 246, or fifteen 

 more than Ottawa. This comparison clearly shows that, were all the 

 other families fully worked \\\), our collections would be very largely 

 increased. 



Although my list contains many species not previously recorded 

 from Canada, it is yet doubtful whether any species new to science 

 have been captured. When Dr. LeConte was here last summer he 

 took home with him a box of rare species and afterward sent me a 

 partial list in which three new speciest were indicated. Unfortunately 

 these si^ecies, as well as the unnamed remainder, have been probably 

 sorted into his vast collections, and are thus lost to us, although luckily 

 not lost to science. 



There are many rare and interesting species worthy of special 

 mention, but for want of time suc^i consideration must be deferred. 



Species, one hundred and ten in number, marked with an asterisk 

 (*), have apparently not been previously included in lists of Canadian 

 coleoptera.
