corus Say. Under stones along the canyon stream were also 

 found Philonthus furvus Nord., basalts Horn and Diamis nitidu- 

 lus L,ec. Two specimens of the Cerambycid, Leptura crysocovia 

 Kirby were beaten from alder bushes, together with a species 

 of Pachybrachys. From the same bushes were beaten Pentaria 

 trifasciata Melsh. and Ant/iicus stellatus Csy. 



Lagoon is a summer resort sixteen miles north of Salt Lake 

 City. It is situated at the foot of Wasatch Mountains and 

 three miles east of the lake. I collected there, June 25th, going 

 west from Lagoon to the Lake. The wind was strong from 

 the west and the temperature below sixty degrees, so catches 

 were not very numerous. However, I found one specimen of 

 Calosovia tepidum Lee. and the mutilated remains of another. 

 Around the margins of salt ponds were found Bembidiim in 

 considerable numbers. I took bifossulatum , Lee, insulatum, 

 Lee. and approximatum Lee. Btachyiius cordicollis Dej. and 

 Chlanius pennsylvanicus Say were found under railway ties. A 

 species of Calambus {lutcscens Lee.) was taken in a fresh water 

 pond. ApJiodius vittatus Say occurred under cow chips, to- 

 gether with numbers of Metachroma californica Cr. Phyllotreta 

 lewisi Cr. were beaten from flowering plants, together with 

 an Oxacis bicolor Lee. Nemognatha bicolof Lee. were found in 

 thistle heads. The only two species of Curculio taken were 

 Copturus adspersus Lee. and a single specimen of Rhodobanu^ 

 13—punctatus 111. 



Coming down into the Salt Lake valley from the northeast 

 is City Creek Canyon. City Creek dashes over the rocks at 

 the bottom of this canyon and is fed by springs and the melt- 

 ing snows of the higher peaks of the Wasatch range. The 

 canyon is wooded and has a varied and abundant insect fauna, 

 constantly changing with the elevation. I spent three or four 

 hours in this canyon June 28th, in company with my friend, G. 

 W. Browning, a native of Salt Lake City, an enthusiastic lepi- 

 dopterist and an artist of no mean ability. This canyon is his 

 favorite collecting ground for Lepidoptera and he is familiar 

 with its every curve and physical feature for miles. As in 

 Ogden Canyon, Philo^ithus furvus Nord. was the commonest 

 Staphyliuid, occurring under stones at the edge of the stream.
