During the summer of 1918 I made an effort to obtain as many 
micro-lepidoptera as possible, with the result that I have on hand 
a considerable number of specimens. Some of these have been 
identified by Mr, Busck, of the National Museum, but so man)^ 
remain to be worked over that I am omitting them entirely at 
present. The rearing of micros in the prairie areas, particularly 
of the western part of the state, should bring to light a great 
many interesting things.
