ALASKA INSECTS. 



By W. J. Holland, LI,.D. 

 PART I. 



Enumeration of the insects collected in Alaska by Rev. S. 

 Hall Young and Rev. M. E. Koonce, during the Summer of 

 the year 1899, with descriptions of some new species and vari- 

 eties. 



The labors of Rev. S. Hall Young as a missionary and 

 explorer in Alaska are well known in ecclesiastical and educa- 

 tional circles. His young associate, Rev. M. E. Koonce, has 

 only recently entered upon his field of labor on Alaskan soil. 

 Though their professional duties leave but scant leisure for the 

 prosecution of researches in the domain of nature, they have 

 both kindly fulfilled the promise, given me before starting upon 

 their journey to the north, to collect such in.sects as they 

 might happen to find in their journeyings to and fro. The 

 accompanying list is published as serving to throw some light 

 upon the fauna of this, as yet, only verj- imperfectly explored 

 quarter of our continent.
