rather rough corduroy and sand roads. The party came back 

 by the latter route. 



As would be expected there are but few settlers at the Point 

 and these depend mainly upon other resources than agricul- 

 ture for a living. Fishing, lumbering, blueberry picking and 

 hunting are the chief pursuits, although some cultivation of 

 small patches of ground enriched by mixing the sand with 

 muck from the low areas is accomplished. Wild hay for

 few settlers make quite an income from the cranberry marshes. 



Near the end of the Point and near the east beach is a fish-

Shelldrake is a typical small lumbering town, owned prin- 

 cipally by the Shelldrake Lumber Company. A narrow gauge 

 lumber railroad runs westerly from town for several miles.

As the time was limited to about ten days in the field ex- 

 tensive investigations as to the habitats or life histories of the 

 insects taken could not be expected, although every effort was

 each specimen collected. Lures and traps were necessarily 

 resorted to thus enabling one to make a fairly representative 

 collection from the Point. 



Wash up on Beach: A number of specimens were found in 

 the wash up, and a few species were not taken elsewhere. 

 Practically all were found on the north beach within two or 

 three miles of the Post Office. The prevailing winds at the
