A LIST OF NORTHERN MICHIGAN LEPIDOPTERA 

 By Sherman Moore 



The list of Lepidoptera herein presented represents the 

 results of five seasons of collecting, 1917 to 1921 inclusive, 

 along the shores of the north end of Lake Michigan and of 

 the Straits of Mackinac, covering parts of the counties of 

 Schoolcraft, Mackinac, Charlevoix, Emmet, and Cheboygan. 

 Collecting usually has been continuous from some time in 

 May until about the first of November, and an average of 

 two to three days per week has been devoted to the work. 

 While some of the earliest forms may have been missed, the 

 collecting period has covered the greater part of the insect 

 season. 



Collecting has been confined largely to the immediate vicin-- 

 ity of the lake shores, and at no point have specimens been 

 taken more than three miles inland. The collection therefore 

 does' not represent fairly the lepidopterous fauna of the vari- 

 ous counties, but only that of a narrow strip along the shores
