4 ENTOMOLOGICAL NEWS. [Jan., '92 



This work had a very considerable sale and evinces pains- 

 taking and careful work in compiling the literature. It shows 

 remarkable knowledge of specific values and was the best work 

 of the kind in this respect. Dr. Strecker had an accurate 

 knowledge of entomological technic, and his example should 

 not be lost. His collection would be a marvel to many in this 

 respect. He had an interesting and striking personality, and 

 was cordial, affable and full of anecdote. He was frequently 

 visited by scientific men from this country and abroad, and 

 his correspondence was immense. In his chosen field he 

 ranked deservedly high. He has been criticised by some on 

 account of his more than great desire to add to his collec- 

 tion, but this may be ascribed to the fact that his love and 

 enthusiasm for the study were intense and never flagged for a 

 moment, and obscured every other thought. Two of his favor- 

 ite expressions were that "It is human nature, you know, to 

 think of ourselves first, last and always," and " I never let 

 the right hand know what the left hand does." Had it not 

 been for such traits, many fine things in the collection would 

 have been converted into Anthrenus ere this, and their value to 

 the world would have been lost and scattered. 



He was a remarkable man, and will be greatly missed by 

 his entomological friends. The final disposition of his won- 

 derful collection is not at present known. 



Additional List of Insects Taken in Alpine Region of 



Mt. Washington. 



By Annie Trumbull Slosson. 



I was unable to visit Mt. Washington in 1900 and my usual 

 li.st of captures — publi.shed annually since 1893 — was omitted. 

 But in this la.st summer, 1901, I again made two visits to the 

 Summit, one in early July and one in August. The list of 

 insects taken, and not included in former lists, follows : There 

 arc nearly 250 species, several of these and at least one genus 

 new to science.
