Park and Estes Park. Unfortunately but few of the locality 

 records were preserved. The list is from the pen of Henry 

 Ulke. 1 Lieut. Carpenter added to Mr. Ulke's paper a sep- 

 arate account of some forms taken at an altitude of more than 

 12,000 feet. A number of Colorado records are contained in 

 an article by Mr. Ulke that appeared at a later late. 3 



The next contribution is by Mr. J. Duncan Putnam. 3 He 

 publishes a list of some two hundred and fifty species taken 

 by himself, chiefly near the sources of Clear Creek, in the 

 neighborhood of Empire City; a few are from the Middle 

 Park, others from the base of the mountains at Denver, 

 Boulder and Canon City. The determinations are credited 

 to Mr. Ulke. Exact localities are not quoted, and as he made 

 excursions to the summits, the collection represents a mixed 

 fauna and gives no data on vertical distribution. 



Mr. P. R. Uhler follows with a report which is of interest 

 and importance on account of the notes regarding localities 

 and habits; his paper 4 deals with what is now well-trodden 

 ground, — the valley of Clear Creek, through Golden and 

 Beaver Brook. He also spent some time in the Arkansas 

 valley near Canon City as well as at Denver, Manitou and 

 Colorado Springs. All of this work was done in the month 

 of August. Dr. A. S. Packard made a collection in the valley 

 of Clear Creek and on Gray's Peak during the same summer, 

 and has given careful records. 5
