280 THE FUK tSEALS OF THE TKIBILOF I.SLANIJS. 



5. Drosophila sp. 



One specimen. 



6. Sarcophaga sp. 



Four specimens. 



7. Compsomyia macellaria Fabr. 



One specimen, male. 



8. Lucilia csesar Linn. 



Four specimens. 



9. Callipbora vomitoria Linn. 



One specimen. 



All of these insects were preserved in alcohol. The more delicate of them— the 

 diptera — were consequently somewhat shrunken and discolored. 



Judging from tliis little collection, the insect fauna of Guadalupe Island cannot 

 differ markedly from that of some parts of Calilornia. 



REPORT ON THE PLANTS OF GUADALUPE ISLAND.

Professor of Si/Ktcmatic liotany in I. viand Stanford Junior rniversitn. 



The collection of plants made on Guadalupe Island in 1897 was gathered during 

 the last week in June by Profs. Kufus L. Green, Charles B. Wing, and Wilbur W. 

 Thoburn. The dry season was, of course, well advanced, and the collection is chiefly 

 interesting as showing what is to be found in bloom in the summer. 



Tlie island had been visited by Dr. Edward Palmer, who collected from February 

 till May, 1875 ; visited all parts of the island, and obtained 131 species of plants. These 

 were published by Sereno Watson in the Proceedings of the American Academy of 

 Arts and Sciences, XI, 105. Of these, 21 were peculiar to the island. Dr. Palmer 

 again visited Guadalupe Island in 1889, for a short time. A list of Dr. Palmer's last 

 collection was reported upon by Dr. J. N. Rose in the Contributions to the U. S. 

 National Herbarium, I, 21. Uere 4 new species are published and 29 species are 

 listed as peculiar to the island. 



Prof. ICdward L. Greene ne.xt collected there seven days during the last half of 

 April, 1885. He added several to Palmer's list, including several new species. His 

 observations, together with a revised list of the plants of the island, were published 

 by {he California Academy <f Sciences, Bulletin, I, 214. 



Dr. F. Franceschi, of Santa Barbara, collected there during December, 1892, and a 

 part of January, 1893, and published an interesting series of notes on his observations 

 in Zoe, (San Fiancisco), I V, 130. 



A. W. Anthony and T. S. Brandegee visited the island in September, 1890, for a 

 short time, and again in INIarch, 1897, and have already distributed a limited number 

 of herbarium sp(;ciniens from there. 



About 135 species of flowering plants have been reported. The Stanford 

 University party brought back 37 species, of which 3 (a Talinum, a Franheniay and 

 a Fhyllospadix), have not before been reported and belong to genera new to the island. 



NoTK. — The Araclinida were detorinined by ISIr. Nathan Banks; the orthoptera, by Mr. S. H. 

 Scudder; the Coleoptera by Mr. Samuel Heusbaw.
