The following paper on the Metamorphoses of some Alaska 

 Coleoptera, by Trevor Kincaid, Professor of Biology, University of 

 Washington, Seattle, was originally published in the Proceedings of 

 the Washington Academy of Sciences, vol. n, pp. 367-388, Nov. 

 24, 1900. It is here reprinted from the same electrotype plates, so 

 that it may be quoted exactly as if were the original. The original 

 pagination has been preserved and transferred to the inner or hinge 

 side of the page, where it is enclosed in brackets, thus [36S] ; while 

 the consecutive pagination of the present volume has been added in the 

 usual place. In the plates the original numbers and running head- 

 line, slightly abbreviated, have been preserved [in brackets] , while the 

 volume designation and serial plate numbers have been added in the 

 usual place. The original text references to the plates are unchanged. 

 The present headpiece and title have been substituted for the run- 

 ning heading of the Academy's Proceedings and the original title, 

 which was : Papers from the Harriman Alaska Expedition, vm. 

 E7ito7nological Results (2) : The Metamorphoses of some Alaska 

 Coleoptera. No other alterations have been made.
