I04 ENTOMOLOGICAL NEWS. [April, '05 



July the 1 6th, and the last day for the Doctor and myself to 

 do any more collecting at Silver Lake, had every appearance 

 of being a rainy day. It was certainly not a day for butter- 

 flies, so leaving the Professor and the Doctor in camp waiting 

 for the sun to appear so that they might resume their butter- 

 fly collecting, I started off in search of Coleoptera, with the 

 result that when night came I found I had in the neighbor-

The morning of the 17th found the Doctor and myself on

 which it took us just exactly forty. 



We arrived at Pittsburg the next evening about seven o'clock 

 and after securing accommodations and making a few small 

 purchases we retired for the night. 



The next morning, Saturday, July 22d, we went in search 

 of Dr. Holland and his collection of butterflies, but soon found 

 out that the Doctor was out of town, and consequently did not 

 see the Holland collection. As this was our only object in 

 stopping off at Pittsburg, we were very much disappointed ; 

 for aside from smoke and soot, the Carnegie Institute aijd the 

 Zoological Garden we saw but little else in Pittsburg to inter-
