This is a large number, and it will be a surprise to many

Mr. Hanham has amongst his captures both ISToctuidse 

 and Geometridse new to science. The former have been nam- 

 ed by Professor J. B. Smith, of IvTew Brunswick (N. Jersey), 

 the chief authority on American Noctuids, and the Geome- 

 tridse by Rev. G. D. Hulst, of Brooklyn, JsT.Y. Mr. Hanham 

 pubhshed lists of our local buttei-flies in the Canadian Ento- 

 mologist in 1895 and 1897. Since that time he has published
