nition could take place. I made several fine collections of this 

 species, but do not regret their loss. Among the Lepidoptera 

 were observed about a dozen species of Heterocera (many of 

 them day-flying), and of the RJiopalocera (butterflies) two 

 species appeared to be tolerably common — one a colias 

 and the other of the genus Argynnis. The order Hymenop- 

 tera was represented by a good number of bees, humble-bees, 

 and ants, and many species of ground spiders were phe- 

 nomenally plentiful. Pulex gigds, they say, occurs in Green- 

 land, and nowhere else, but I kept away from the Huskies.
