I.-REPORTS UPON THE INSECTS, SPIDERS, MITES, AND MYRIAPODS COLLECTED BY 

 DR. L. STEJNEGER AND MR. G. E. H. BARRETT-HAMILTON ON THE COMMANDER 

 ISLANDS. 



Edited by William H. Asi-imbad, 

 Assistant Curator, Department of Insects, JJ, S. National Museum. 



In the following pages will be found the reports of the several specialists connected 

 with the National Museum and the Department of Agriculture upon the insects, 

 spiders, mites, and myriapods collected by Dr. Leonhard Stejneger and Mr. G. E. H. 

 Barrett- Hamilton on the Commander Islands. 



As maybe seen from the records, Dr. Stejneger has been collecting on the islands 

 since 1882j and has brought together probably the largest number of species of 

 Arthropoda ever made in this high latitude. 



The collection is, therefoi e, not only interesting from a geographical standpoint, 

 as showing the wide distribution of some of the species', but also for the many new 

 species taken during his several trips to these far-away islands. 



The Coleoptera taken previously to 1897 were worked up by the late Martin L. 

 Linell; those taken later, by Mr. E. A. Schwarz; the Hymenoptera and Hemiptera 

 by myself; the Lepidoptera by Dr. H. G-. Dyar ; the Diptera by Mr. D. W. Coquillett; 

 the Arachnida and Neuropteroid insects by Mr. H'athan Banks; while the Myriapods 

 were determined by Prof. O. F. Cook.
