the July rains, the collector who visits this region in August 

 will find many forms that were absent at the time of my visit. 



I collected from three to eight hours each day I was in the 

 mountains, and took two hundred species and over fifteen hun- 

 dred specimens. Mr. H. C. Fall, of Pasadena, California, 

 kindly assisted in the determination of most of the material ; 

 Mr. P. Jerome Schmitt, of Beatty, Pennsylvania, determined 

 the single species each of the Scydmsenidse and Pselaphidse 

 taken, and Mr. Charles W. Leng, of New York, identified the 

 Coccinelids ; to all of whom, and to Mr. T. D. A. Cockerell, 

 of East Las Vegas, N. M. , who has added notes and ascertained 

 the number of species new to New Mexico, many thanks are 

 due. 



Identifications are sufficiently complete to show that this part 

 of the territory has been collected over but little, for of the two 

 hundred species taken nearly fifty species, or one- fourth, are 

 new or undescribed ; a half dozen or more species belonging 

 to new genera. Fifty-seven species are new to New Mexico, 

 eighteen genera are also new to the territory. Fort^^-six spe- 

 cies are new to southern New Mexico. The only Scydmaenid 

 ever identified by name from the territory, ScydmcBiius cali- 

 fomicus Mots. , a Pacific coast Alaskan species, I took at Cloud- 

 croft. In the same upper canon I found three specimens, in 

 ants' nests, of Articerus fuchsii Brend., a quite rare myrmeco- 

 philus Pselaphid previously recorded from near Las Vegas.
