Vol. xxiii] ENTOMOLOGICAL NEWS 471 
From the States of California, Nevada, Oregon, Washington and 
west of, and including, Mission Junction, B. C.; also, from what are 
known as Kootenay common points, namely, Nelson, Roosland, San- 
don, Kaslo and Grand Forks, B. C., the Transcontinental Passenger 
Association has on sale daily Nine-Months Tourist Fares, approxi- 
mating two cents per mile in each direction, or about one fare and one- 
third for the round trip. The nine-months fares apply to the eastern 
gateways of the Transcontinental territory, which are: Atchison, Kan- 
sas; Chicago, Illinois; Colorado Springs, Colorado; Council Bluffs, 
Towa; Denver, Colorado; Fort Worth, Texas; Houston, Texas; Kan- 
sas City, Missouri; Leavenworth, Kansas; Memphis, Tennessee; Mite- 
ola, Texas; Minneapolis, Minnesota; New Orleans, Louisiana; Omaha, 
Nebraska; Pueblo, Colorado; St. Joseph, Missouri; St. Louis, Mis- 
souri; St. Paul, Minnesota. 
Station Agents will cheerfully advise delegates as to the eastern 
points to which it will be most advantageous for them to purchase 
nine-months’ tickets in rebuying through to Cleveland. 
Proportionately higher fares are made to principal Atlantic seaboard 
points, and to interior points such as New York, N. Y.; Baltimore, Md.; 
Philadelphia, Pa.; Washington, D. C.; Boston, Mass.; Montreal, Que- 
bec; Albany, N. Y.; Pittsburgh, Pa.; Buffalo, N. Y.; Detroit, Mich.; 
Toronto, Ontario; Cincinnati, Ohio; Indianapolis, Indiana; Atlanta, 
Georgia, etc. 
The nine-months fares do not apply to intermediate or interior 
points, but only to what are known as the eastern gateways of the 
Association, such as those named, including also Colorado Common 
Points. Should it happen that delegates apply at a station on the Pacific 
Coast, from which the nine-months fare is not in effect, which may 
be the case at very small, unimportant stations, the agent will cheer- 
fully ascertain and advise them the nearest point to his station, from 
which such fare does apply. 
The official button of the Association will be supplied to all mem- 
bers whose dues are paid, including dues for the year 1913. These 
will be furnished at the meeting on application to the Secretary.—A. F. 
Burcess, Secretary, Melrose Highlands. Mass.

During June, 1904, I collected insects and plants near Mt. Pinos, 
Kern County, California. The little narrow valley in which the 
potrero is located is partly in the Upper Sonoran Zone, with the 
characteristic shrub of the Upper Sonoran and Transition regions 
of the Great Basin, the true, aromatic, Sage Brush, Artemisia triden- 
tata, occurring mixed with the pines. A number of adult insects
