AN ENTOMOLOGICAL TRIP IN THE ROCKIES. 
Mr. PRESIDENT AND GENTLEMEN, 
It is with great pleasure that I take advantage of your kind invi- 
tation to read a brief paper upon a trip made by me to the Rocky 
Mountains last summer. As my object in undertaking this long 
journey was purely ‘ Entomological,” I had intended to prepare and 
read to you a paper upon the genera “ Coliade” and “ Argynnide,” 
of our Diurnal Lepidoptera, (two of my favourite families,) but at 
the request of some of my friends, I am going to give you a rough 
outline of the entire trip, trusting that I may be enabled to make it 
of more interest to you, by exhibiting a few of the specimens and 
relics picked up by the way.
