lowing as the route : ' ' He started from Redlands and went 

 directly eastward through the passes of the San Bernardino 

 Mountains ; then still eastward through the Mohave Desert to 

 the counties on the extremity of Arizona. He did not go 

 further north than Bill William's Fork River, nor further 

 south than La Paz.* He went about one hundred miles toward 

 the interior and returned almost the same general way. ' ' 



When I saw this collection I could hardly believe it was made 

 in the United States, as there were so manj^ species new to 

 our list. I do not know how much of an effort Mr. Runyeon 

 made to get Lepidoptera, but do not imagine he worked very 

 hard at collecting as he was an invalid and only collected 

 through his friendship for Prof. Mengel. 



This list shows what we may expect in the future, and 

 proves that many more species will be added fron the south- 

 west when the country is carefully collected. No large butter- 

 flies were taken, but there were two or three species of common 

 Lycsenidae in poor condition.

Out of these twenty-three species, eleven are new to our 

 fauna of America north of Mexico. An expert collector could 

 probably make a remarkable catch in this region. 



* "La Paz is a small town near the western border of Arizona and near 

 the Colorado River. It is almost midway between the Gila and Bill 



William's Fork Rivers.
