than three hundred specimens of Coleoptera, and many insects of 

 other orders were procured in less than one hour. 



There are, however, a few points to which the attention of the 

 future explorer may be directed, as being most likely to reward him 

 for his arduous journey ; these are Eagle Harbor on Point Kewe- 

 naw, the Hon. Hudson Bay Co.'s fort at the mouth of Pic River, and 

 the islands adjacent to the mouth of Black Bay. 



For the sake of making the catalogue as concise as possible, I 

 have used such abbreviations as will render necessary a list of the 

 works cited. Where no authority is appended to a name, it is to be 

 understood that the name is used for the first time in this book. 

 Rarely two references are placed after a name ; in this case the latter 

 citation is the more recent, and will be found to give all necessary 

 information respecting synonyms, which are accordingly omitted 

 here.
