The northern zone comprises the hill ranges and elevations 

 above 300 feet on the ancient plateau of the interior. There are 

 fine stands of timber, such as spruce, balsam, white pine and 

 hemlock. Large collections, for the greater part obtained at 

 night, show an insect fauna identical with that of New Bruns- 

 wick and Maine. 



The temperate zone is represented by broad, fertile valleys 

 with the original forests of oak, maple, beech and birch sup- 

 planted largely by orchards and fields of grain. The insect fauna 

 compares favorably with that of the New England and Atlantic 

 Coast states. Agriculturists are experiencing much trouble in 

 checking injury caused by economic insects, such as the codling 

 moth, cut worms and scales. 



About 2,000 specimens of Lepidoptera and several hundreds of 

 other orders were collected on the trip.
