iishing a detailed list of the birds of 
Colorado in the “Ornithologist and 
Oologist.” This list, which ought to 
be in the hands of every citizen in 
this state who is interested in science 
or agriculture, will be printed sepa- 
rately, and sent to the members of 
the C. B. A. 
Lord Walsingham, in a letter re' 
cently received adds three small 
moths to our Colorado list, by name 
GEcophora borkhausenii, Argyresthia 
abdominalis, and Ide lithosina. He 
further states that he has a number of 
other speeies from Colorado, which 
he has not yet had time to work out. 
Many of them are undescribed. 
Prof. A. S. Packard writes that he 
is very much wanting moths of the 
families Zygsenidae and Bombycidae 
from Colorado, as also their larvae, 
eitherTn alcohol or blown. Cannot 
some of our members help him? 
Mr. A. E. Lomax, of Liverpool, 
England, informs us that he has many 
dried specimens of the plants of Eu- 
| rope, which he is willing to exchange 
for plants from Colorado. He will 
be glad to hear from those who have 
duplicates to dispose of. 
Dr. John Hamilton says that a 
beetle of the genus Disonycha from 
Saguache county which we sent him 
is undescribed. It is very close to 
D. alternata, and might be called 
D. fallax. Another unearned beetle 
belongs to the genus Amara, and is. 
from Fremont county. Four speci- 
mens were obtained. 
We have received apparently re- 
liable information that two silver fox* 
es were killed on White river last 
winter. T. D. A. C.
