Blackburn says that Hawaii is a comparatively une.xplorcd field of nat- 

 ural history. His statements may be summarized as follows : The Orth- 

 optera are represented by few species ; no true grasshoppers and no Man- 

 tidae are known ; about 500 species of Coleoptera have been collected, 80 

 per cent of them apparently native; the Neuroptera (including Odonata) 

 have been little studied ; the order Hymenotera is richer than other orders ; 

 ants are numerous, the Madeira house ants, Pheidolc pusilUi Heer, being the 

 most abundant ; the Lepidoptera are little known, but about 100 species have 

 been described — not a quarter of those that might be collected ; Hemiptera 

 and Homoptera are represented in collections by about 100 species ; there 

 are probably hundreds of species of Diptera, but scarcely 50 are represented 

 in collections; mosquitoes, (house) flies, and fleas are pests. Blackburn's 

 paper includes a bibliography of Hawaiian entomology.
