2 ENTOMOLOGICAL NEWS. [January, 



or above what is called the alpine line, 4000 feet above sea-level. 

 In the list of Messrs. Gardiner and Schaus the localities are 

 carefully designated. Out of its 114 species not contained in 

 Austin's list, all but a half dozen or so seem to have been taken 

 above the alpine limit. I know of no lists in orders other than 

 Coleoptera ever published. 



In July and August, of 1893, as mentioned in a previous paper 

 (Ent. News, vol. iii, p. 249), I spent several days on Mt. Wash- 

 ington and collected many species. I herewith append a com- 

 plete list of such, and add also a few taken in previous visits. 

 These last are marked with an asterisk. Every insect here men- 

 tioned was taken at or above 5500 feet altitude, and much the 

 greater part of them on the summit, or cone itself, about 6300 feet. 

 Among the Coleoptera there are fifty species not included in 

 either Austin's or Gardiner's lists, and in other orders there are 

 at least five entirely new species, and probably more. Let me 

 again repeat here my grateful acknowledgement of assistance 

 .rendered me in the identification of insects by Messrs. Liebeck, 

 Fox, Davis, Van Duzee, Calvert and others, without whose aid 

 I could not have prepared this list.
