 Messrs. Swezej, Kuhns, Wilder, and Messrs. Willet and Bailey, 

 two men who had recently made a visit to the U. S. Bird Reser- 

 vation at Laysan and Midway Islands. The party had spent 

 the night at Mr. Goodale's mountain house, eight miles np the

 farther np the gulch, where fairly good collecting was found 

 and a number of interesting captures were made.

 on the trip, among them being a new species of Eupelmus with 

 an extremely long ovipositor, and a new Psyllid.
