ScUDDER, S. A. The Insects of the Tertiary Beds at Quesnel. Appen- 
dix to Mr. George M. Dawson’s Report, in Selwyn’s Geol. Survey 
of Canada, Rep. of Progress for 1875-76 (Ottawa : 1877, 8vo), pp. 
266-280. 
The beds where these were found are at Quesnel Mouth, British 
Columbia, 122^ 30' W. longitude. Coleoptera were almost entirely absent, 
and the Diptera seemed very different in facies from those of any other 
known locality. The following are described, mostly from fragments ; 
— Ilymenopkra : Formica arcana, p. 266, HypocUnia obliterata and 
Aphccnogaster longccva, p. 267, Pimpla aaxea, p. 268, decesaa, p. 269, 
Calyptites, g. n. (^Braconidce, differing from Calyptus in neuration), for 
C. aniediluvianum, p. 270. Diptera-. Boletina sepulta, p. 271, Brachypeza 
abita, ihid., procera, p. 272, Trichonta dawsoni, ibid., Anthomyia inani- 
mata, p. 273, burgessi, p. 274, Heteromyza senilis and Sciomyza revelata, 
p. 276, Lithortalis, g. n. {Ortalidoe, allied to Ceratoxys), p. 276, for L. 
picta, p. 277, Lonchcea senescens, p. 277, Palloptera morticina [“ an indis- 
tinguishable crushed mass of chitine, and the basal half or more of a 
single wing, are all that remain of this creature”], p. 278. Coleoptera : 
Prometopia depilis, p. 278. Hemiptera (^Homoptera) : Lachnus petrorum, 
p. 279. A fragment of a Neuropterous insect, and various other frag- 
ments are referred to. 
Uhler, P. H. Report upon the Insects collected by P. R. Uhler during 
the Explorations of 1875, including Monographs of the Families 
Cydnidce and Saldce, and the Hemiptera collected by A. S. Packard, 
jun., M.D. Rep. U. S. Geol. Surv. iii. pp. 365-475, 765-801, 
pis. xxvii. & xxviii. 
The author’s experiences were on the plains and mountains of Eastern 
Colorado, with Denver as a centre. Afior some general remarks upon 
the distribution and habits (especially as to similarity in colour, &c., to 
places or objects frequented) of insects of all orders met with, he gives 
a special descriptive account of the Rhynchota (to which the indifferent 
plates refer), followed by lists, with localities, of the Lepidoptera, Coleo- 
ptera, Diptera, Hymenoptera, Neuroptera, and Orthoptera. In an appen- 
dix, A. R. Grote describes some of the Lepidoptera. The parts of 
Eastern Colorado within reach of irrigation are considered as capable of 
being made the greatest honey -producing locality of the Continent.
