Pterostichas sp. near hudsonicus Sec. 



Two examples, Cape Nome, Juh^ 26 and 27. 



Eight examples. Cape Blossom, July 26. 



These two species belong to the subgenus Cryobium, which 

 contains many species or supposed species from Boreal America. 

 W^ith few exceptions they are imperfectly known, and are to a 

 large degree opinionative. 

 Amara sp. near hyberborea Dej. 



Three examples, Cape Blossom, July 10 and 26. 



Amara similis Kirby.

 Chrysomela snbsalcata Mann. 



The.sc two species — one example of each — were taken in nearlj^ 

 perfect condition from the crop of a rock ptarmigan, which was 

 .shot along the snow line of the Jade Mountains at an altitude 

 of alwnit 1000 feet above the Kowak River May 25. 



Orchestes rniipes Lee? 



One example, Kowak Delta, June 17. The specimen is 

 scarcely distingui.shable from rufipcs in any respect except 

 the color of the legs, the femora being black with the tibiae 

 and tarsi pale ; in this particular, therefore, it is intermediate 

 between typical rufipcs and the variety minutus. 



The localities named above are all in latitude 67° to 67° 30', 

 with the exception of Cape Nome, which is about 64° 20'. It 

 will therefore be seen tliat, with the excei)li()n of Carahitx trun- 

 catkoUis and Mclanophila acuminata, the sjjccies named arc all 

 within the Arctic Circle. Of the thirteen only two — Amara 

 similis and Orchestes nifipes — are new to the Ala.skan list.
