glected, and therefore desire to obtain as many species 

 and individuals as possible from all parts of the world. 



I already have the largest collection of this family 

 and spent last winter in Europe at work in the mu- 

 seums studying and comparing the types with my 

 specimens. 



I therefore, write to you desiring you to put me 

 into correspondence with some collector of the moths 

 on your island that I may make an arrangement with 

 him to obtain the species existing there. If you will 

 take the trouble to do this I shall be under great obli- 

 gations to you, and if there be a museum there in 

 which the insect fauna of your island ispreserved I can 

 be of some service to that if it can be brought about 

 to supply me with Tortricids from there. 



Can you give me the names and addresses of in- 

 sect collectors in any of the regions of that part of 

 the world as Madagascar or the East Coast of Africa. 



I am very truly. 



Your obedient servant, 



Prof. C. H. Feenald, 

 State College, Orono Maine, U.S. America.
