IV-IN SECTS. 



INTRODUCTORY BY JOHN MURDOCH. 



The shortness of the summer season rendered the collecting of insects difficult and unsatisfac- 

 tory, and the difficulty was increased by the engrossing nature of the other zoological and physical 

 work of the station. The season at which insects could be collected was precisely the time when 

 the collecting of birds and their eggs was at its height, and the time of the party was pretty fully 

 occupied. 



Nevertheless, a small collection of insects was made and turned over to Prof. C. V. Kiley, 

 Curator of Insects, U. S. National Museum, for study. As will be seen by his report, which follows, 

 insects were obtained belonging to the following orders and species:
