fauna in these boreal regions during the short period of two 

 months, it was not to be expected that very extensive additions 

 to the knowledge of Alaska Coleoptera would be made during 

 the Harriman Alaska Expedition, when usually only one day 

 or only a few hours were spent in collecting at each particular 

 locality. Still the number of species (155) collected by Pro- 

 fessor Kincaid under these unfavorable circumstances is sur- 

 prisingly large and gives great credit to his industry and cir- 

 cumspection. 



The bibliography and distribution of the described Alaska 

 Coleoptera has been fully given by Dr. Hamilton, and since his 

 paper (quoted above) is of such recent date and so readily ac- 

 cessible, it has been deemed advisable to give here simply the 

 list of the species collected by the expedition.
