To secure and preserve specimens illustrating the natural history of the Province.\n(b.)  To collect anthropological material relating to the aboriginal races of the Province.\n(c.)  To obtain  information  respecting the natural  sciences,  relating  particularly  to the\nnatural history of the Province, and diffuse knowledge regarding the same.\nADMISSION.\nThe Provincial Museum is open, free, to the public daily throughout the year from 9 a.m.\nto 5 p.m. (except New Year's Day, Good Friday, and Christmas Day) ; it is also open on Sunday\nafternoons from 1 p.m. to 5 p.m. from May 1st until the end of October.\nVISITORS.\nThe following figures show the difference between those who registered their names in the\nbook and those who were checked hy the attendants.    While only 29,623 people registered, the\ntotal of the check was 45,648. Register.

One attendant was transferred to another department and a stenographer\nappointed, also an assistant to be trained in various branches of science.\nThe students in our schools and colleges are constantly bringing in specimens for identification, while private collectors continue to send in material, particularly in the botanical and\nentomological branches of science.\nMr. W. B. Anderson, Dominion Inspector of Indian Orchards; Air. G. Y. Copley, of the\nGrazing Commission; and Mrs. J. P. MacFadden, of New Denver, B.C., have donated a large\namount of botanical specimens ; while the Alice Siding School, under the direction of Air. Charles\nLallemand;   Mr. W. H. A. Preece, of Sidney, AM.;   and Air. G. Stace Smith, of Creston, B.C., C 8 BRITISH COLUMBIA.\nhave aided materially in increasing the entomological collection.   Specimens amounting to approximately 900, principally Coleoptera, were purchased from Mr. J. AV. Cockle, of Kaslo, B.C.\nOne short field-trip of about three weeks' duration was made hy the Assistant Biologist,\nMr. G. A. Hardy, to Alount Garibaldi, where he was associated with the camp established by\nAir. Bell-Irving, of Vancouver, and the B.C. Mountaineering Club. The Aluseum has not been\nin a position for some little time, on account of finances, to carry out any extensive field-work,\nbut, as the opportunity arose, it was thought desirous that one of the staff should undertake a\ntrip in the Mount Garibaldi Park, to work up the flora and fauna of that region. It is gratifying\nto note that Air. Hardy's work in that locality during the three weeks' trip was of great value\nto the Aluseum, and several new species in botany and entomology were recorded for British\nColumbia. It is to be hoped that from time to time the finances of the Museum will permit\nfurther expeditions into some of these isolated localities where little collecting-work has been\ndone.\nIn the conchological section the Univalves have received attention, and Mr. W. A. Newcombe has again kindly donated some specimens from the collection made by his father, the late\nDr. C. F. Newcombe. The Museum Univalves, together with some from the Newcombe collection, were sent to Dr. Bartsch for identification, and will be arranged according to the latest\nchanges in names and nomenclature.    A detailed account of these will be found on page 28.\nA number of new cases have been installed on the upper floor, including five wall-cases. In\ntwo of these the Reptilia and Amphibia are now displayed; the remainder are intended to be\nused for specimens of marine animals. Three dozen double-sided storage-boxes for insects were\nmade for the accommodation of the fast-growing collection. Here, named material is being\nstored until such time as proper cabinet display may be provided.\nNumerous requests are received from time to time for the loan of specimens for educational\npurposes, particularly in ornithology. These requests are complied with whenever possible, and\nit is gratifying to note that many of the older pupils of the city and rural schools are taking a\nmuch greater interest of late in natural history.\nA perusal of the various sections of the report will indicate that much useful and valuable\nwork has 'been done regarding the natural history of this Province. Special thanks are due to\nspecialists in the various branches of science for the invaluable help, and due acknowledgments\nare made in the body of the report.\nANTHROPOLOGY.\nThe Museum has been offered the opportunity, through the offices of Air. W. A. Newcombe,\nto purchase a large number of anthropological specimens collected by the late Dr. AY. F. Tolmie\nand his son, John Tolmie, one of the earliest pioneers in the services of the Hudson's Bay\nCompany in this Province. The collection contains a great many designs in large basketry-work,\nwhich cannot be obtained from the Indians of to-day as the art is fast disappearing. There\nare also many implements made of stone that were found on the old Cloverdaie Farm in the\nearly days of the Hudson's Bay Company, and it is hoped that in the next annual report we will\nbe able to give an itemized list and description of these most desirable specimens.\nPALAEONTOLOGY.\nReference was made on page 10, Alus. Rep., 1925, to a fine colleeion of fossils presented by\nMr. S. C. Burton, of Kamloops, B.C. These had been found in the fossiliferous sandstone of the\nTranquille geological formations at the west end of Kamloops Lake. They were sent to the\nSmithsonian Institution for examination and have been returned with the following determinations by Dr. Bassler :\u2014\nTaxodium dubium Heer. Alnus carpinoides Lesquerowe.\nPopulus obtrita Dawson. Alnites curta Dawson.\nJugland sp. Myrica sp.\nLeg-bone of mammoth, taken in the Yukon, 1900.    W. A. Newcombe.\nBOTANY.\nBy G. A. Hardy.\nThe past season has resulted in the acquisition of many interesting records and specimens,\nthus steadily adding to our knowledge of the flora of this Province. REPORT OF PROVINCIAL MUSEUM, 1926. C 0\nThe number of additions to the collection total some 664 specimens, being an increase of\nnearly twice that of the previous year. Of these, eight are new to the Province and thirty-one\nto the Herbarium.\nThe collection of Mosses and Linchens has been further enriched by the enthusiasm and\ngenerosity of Mrs. J. P. MacFadden, of New Denver, B.C.; these are supplementary to a previous\ndonation of Hepatics last year, and are as authoritatively named and are scientifically mounted,\nforming a model as to how such specimens should be treated. The Mosses are listed separately\nelsewhere in the report, on page 11.\nAVe have much pleasure in acknowledging our indebtedness to those who have continued to\nbenefit the Herbarium by their sustained zeal and consistency, Mr. W. B. Anderson, Inspector of\nIndian Orchards, and Mr. G. V. Copley, of the Grazing Commission. These two gentlemen have\nconstantly, throughout a number of years, added much invaluahle material, not otherwise\nacquired, and have made the most of their opportunities in connection with professional duties.\nThe Rev. R. Connell, who has discovered several new and rare plants on A'ancouver Island which\nhe has generously presented to the Aluseum, deserves special recognition. To these and other\ncontributors whose donations are of no less value, we heartily record our thanks and appreciation\nin thus helping to build up a public reference collection of plants of British Columbia that will\nbe second to none, an end obtainable only by a wide and enthusiastic co-operation of all concerned.\nAn opportunity was afforded to make a short visit to Garibaldi Park in the interests of the\nMuseum. A number of very acceptable additions were thus secured. As these are from a\nlocality not previously represented in the Jfuseum, they are listed under the Report for Garibaldi\nPark on page 15.\nThe following is a list of contributors, the number in brackets referring to the specimens\ndonated: Miss Allen (27), J. R. Anderson (3), W. B. Anderson (32), AAr. B. Anderson and G. A'.\nCopley (27), Miss N. P. Bittancourt (1), Rev. R. Connell (14), Miss E. Copley (2), G. V. Copley\n(102), H. R. Eldridge (1), Airs. M. Hankin (1), G. A. Hardy (187), N. Harper (1), D. Munday\n(1), Airs. J. P. MacFadden (251), T. P. McKenzie (1), W. A. Newcombe (4), F. Perry (1),\nW. H. A. Preece (1), Miss W. V. Redfern (1), N. Sanson (1), AV. Shephard (1), A. Sherwood\n(2), Mrs. Thacker (1), and P. deNoe Walker (1).\nTo the following specialists we gratefully proffer our thanks for the invaluable assistance they\nhave rendered in the naming and verification of a large number of species: Professor C. R. Ball\n(Salix) and A. S. Hitchcock (Gramime) of the U.S. Nat. Mus., Washington, D.C; Professor\nH. St. John (General), of Pullman, Wash.; Professor Piper Smith (Lupines), San Jose, Calif.;\nAirs. R. Erlanson (Rosacea?), Ann Arbor, Alich.; K. K. Alackenzie (Sedges), New York City;\nand Dr. J. W. Bailey (Mosses), Seattle, Wash.\nMr. W. A. Newcombe has always allowed access to his extensive herbarium and library, a\nprivilege greatly appreciated.\nAlessrs. AAr. B. Anderson and G. Y. Copley have taken a number of plants (48) on the\nAVashington side of the boundary which may occur in British Columbia and therefore are welcome\nadditions for purposes of comparison.\nThe living wild-flower display, exhibiting the local seasonal plants, has been maintained as\nusual throughout the season. It has a special appeal to visitors from other districts, as it shows\nat a glance the predominating species in the vicinity of Victoria in flower at the time.\nAdvantage is continued to be taken of the exhibit and Herbarium by students and others\ninterested in the native flora, and fully justifies the time and effort expended in that direction.\nA departure from the usual method of recording is made in this issue. In the following list\nonly records of special interest are noted. Names of collectors are placed in brackets. Localities\nnot followed by V.I. (Arancouver Island)  are from the Mainland of British Columbia.\nThe following plants are new to British Columbia:\u2014\nLeguminos.e  (Pea Family).\nLupinus formosus Greene var. bridgesi (Wats.)

St. John, of Pullman, Wash., for the honour of kindly\nallowing us to publish the following description of his species new to science, collected by\nMr. W. B. Anderson from Mount AlcLean, B.C.    It is as follows:\u2014\nArnica cascadensis St. John nov. sp.\n(By Harold St. John.)\nPerennial, with an horizontal woody root-stock ; stem slender, erect, simple, about 1 dm.\nhigh, clothed at the base with the shrivelled remnants of several pairs of leaves, their axils showing a tuft of white pilose hairs, bearing 3 or 4 pairs of leaves, which are gradually reduced\nupwards; basal leaves coriaceous ohlanceolate, 5-nerved, glabrous on both sides, pilose-ciliate,\nespecially towards the short petiolar base, more or less denticulate towards the tip, 2.5-4 cm.\nlong, 5-9 mm. broad; cauline leaves similar but broader and shorter, the median pair lanceolate\nand about 2.5 cm. long, the upper pair ovate-lanceolate acuminate and about 1.5 cm. long;\ninflorescence of 1 terminal flower or commonly a 3-flowered cyme; peduncles slender, elongate,\nbecoming densely pilose towards the tip, 2-7 cm. long, often as long as the true stem of the plant;\nheads turbinate, the disc about 1 cm. high; bracts equal, about 12 in number, oblong-elliptic,\ndensely white-pilose at base above glabrate on the back, white hirsute-ciliate, not at all glandular;\nrays about 10, deep orange-yellow, the blades broadly elliptic, 12 mm. long, prominently veined;\ndisc-flowers numerous, deep yellow; achenes linear, black, 5 mm. long, densely incanous; pappus\nwhite barbellate, slightly exceeding the achenes.\nPerennis, foliis 3-4-jugis lanceolatis, floribus cymosis aurantiaciflavosis, aehieneis incanis.\nBritish Columbia: Alount AlcLean, July 11th, 1926, W. B. Anderson S0O3 (type in Herb.\nState College of Washington), and a duplicate in the Provincial Aluseum of Natural History.\nThis extremely attractive little Arnica belongs in the section Alpinaa. Its closest relative is\nA. aurantiaca Greene, which was first described from the Wallowa Mountains of Eastern Oregon.\nIt is now known to range from British Columbia to Oregon. Coulter & Nelson and Rydberg\nall refer this species to A. Rydbergii Greene. Judging by the original description, the writer is\nnot satisfied that this is the proper disposition of these species. A. aurantiaca seems to be a good\nand distinct entity. It has glandular leaves, the peduncle glandular as well as hairy, is mono-\ncephalous or with weak and later axillary heads, the bracts narrowly lanceolate, very short\nciliate towards the tip and glandular on the back. The new A. cascadensis has eglandular\nleaves, is usually crowned with a 3-headed cyme, has the bracts eglandular oblong-elliptic and\nlong white hirsute-ciliate.

C 15\nREPORT ON A COLLECTING TRIP TO GARIBALDI PARK, B.C.\nBy G. A. Hardy.\nA short visit was made to this district between July 24th and August 12th, 1926, for the\npurpose of obtaining material for the Museum; an excellent opportunity being afforded by the\nestablishment of a camp there by Mr. Bell-Irving, of Vancouver, and the British Columbia\nMountaineering Club. This arrangement proved very satisfactory in many ways, not the least\nbeing the minimum amount of expense.\nAlount Garibaldi Park is an extensive tract of mountainous country, situate to the north and\neast of the head of Howe Sound, averaging from 3,000 to close on 9,000 feet altitude, forming\npart of the Coast Range. It takes its name from the dominant peak, Mount Garibaldi, 8,925 feet,\nwhich lies near the centre of the park.\nHeadquarters were situated on the eastern part of the famous Black Tusk Aleadows, which\nlie at an approximate altitude of 5,200 feet. At this point the meadows consist of a gently\nsloping plateau some two miles by three-quarters of a mile, lying east and west. Several small\ncreeks and rivulets intersect it, the chief of Which, Parnassus Creek, lies towards the base of\nBlack Tusk Ridge, from which it has its source. The banks of this creek are a veritable rock\ngarden, the flora being of unsurpassed beauty and luxuriance. Clumps of Abies lasiocarpa\n(mountain fir) and Tsuga mertensiana (mountain hemlock) are dispersed about the surface of\nthe meadows, giving a very park-like character; the open ground between is clothed with a carpet\nof Phyllodoce (false heather) and Spirwa pectinata. The lower or western end merges into the\nforest, which everywhere clothes the lower slopes descending into the valley of the Cheakamus\nRiver.\nBlack Tusk Ridge, 6,000 feet, rises steeply to the north of the meadows, forming its boundary\nin that direction, leading to Black Tusk itself (7,350 feet), a little beyond. On the summit of\nthe ridge near the precipitous 'base of the peak are the glaciers and snow-patches referred to\nfarther on.\nThe southern border of the meadows is marked by an abrupt drop to the shores of Lake\nGaribaldi, 4,840 feet, a deep glacial lake 3 miles long by 2 wide, with precipitous shores, its\noutlet leading to Lesser Garbaldi. The peak of Alount Garibaldi is seen rising above the surrounding snow-field to the south of the lake.\nThe eastern boundary (of the meadows) is formed by Mimulus Creek, which tumbles into the\nlake in a series of cascades; rising steeply from its eastern bank is Panorama Ridge, 6,700 feet,\na fine entomological hunting-ground. It continues as a narrow ridge to the east, its northern face\ngiving rise to a part of the extensive Helinit Glacier, in turn flowing into the Helmit A^alley to the\neast of Black Tusk. 'Several hours' strenuous journeying to the east of Panorama Ridge brings\none to Gentian and Polemonium Ridges, 7,500 feet.\nThe territory thus briefly outlined constituted the chief collecting-ground. Trips were made\nto other parts as opportunity offered.\nMuch rainfall and unsettled weather prevailed during the initial week, considerably retarding operations; advantage of which was taken by attending to a few traps set out for small\nmammals, and investigating fallen logs and under stones for insects, etc. The latter part of the\nperiod was ideal collecting weather, and partially compensated for the previous inclemency.\nThe itinerary was briefly as follows: Departure from Victoria on the evening of July 23rd;\nthen by boat the following morning from Arancouver to Squamish, at the head of Howe Sound,\nreached about noon; thence by Pacific Great Eastern through the gorge of the Cheakamus to\nDaisy Lake, some 20 miles farther up. Here a stop-over was made for the rest of the day in\norder to make a few investigations. A start for camp at Black Tusk Aleadows was made early\nthe next day, arriving in the evening after a pleasant and instructive walk up the excellent trail\nrecently constructed. The distance from Daisy Lake Station is about 13 miles, through continuous forest, rising from an altitude of 1,200 to 5,200 feet.\nThe main objective on this occasion was botanical and entomological, the latter especially, as\nno records are extant regarding it. In the former no material from this district was represented\nin the Herbarium.\nBotany.\nThe region collected over, as judged by its flora, comes within the Hudsonian and Arctic\nzones, with a sprinkling of the Canadian on the lower or more Sheltered portions. The various\nzones imperceptibly merge and can only be appreciated by making lists of the species at various points and \" averaging up.\" In typical locations they can easily be appreciated, but as much\ndepends on exposure, slope, etc., in many cases it is hard to say where the one begins and the\nother leaves off.\nNo species below the Canadian zone (4,0CO-foot level) were collected, hut it was instructive\nto note the change of flora from the Transition of Daisy Lake, up through the Canadian to the\nHudsonian at camp. In the former the conifers included Douglas fir (Pseudotsuga mucronata\nRaf.), red cedar (Thuja plicata Donn.), hejulock (Tsuga heterophylla Sarg.), and lodgepole pine\n(Pinus contorta Dougl.), with deciduous trees of birch (Betula occidentalis Hook.), Cottonwood\n(Populus trichocarpa T. & G.), and alder (Alnus rubra Bong.), the chief underbrush being devil's-\nclub (Fatsia horrida B. & H.), elder (Sambucus glauca Nutt), and huckleberry (Vaccinium\nparvifolium Smith). These gradually dropped out with the increasing altitude and were replaced\nby yellow cedar (Chymacyparis nootkatensis (Lamb) Spach), which predominated at 4,000 feet,\nwith hemlock still abundant. The latter was soon usurped by the mountain hemlock (Tsuga\nmertensiana Carr.), while mountain fir (Abies lasiocarpa (Hook) Nutt.) was noticeably on the\nincrease. Deciduous trees disappeared near the 3,000-foot level. At 4,000 to 5,000 feet the chief\nundershrub was Vaccinium ma.crophyllum Hook, and Rhododendron albiflorum Hook., while the\ndominant trees were mountain fir and mountain hemlock, with a sprinkling of stunted yellow\ncedar and an occasional white pine (Pinus monticola Dougl.). At the extreme limit of timber\nJuniperus communis montana Ait. occurred sparingly, forming dense mat-like growths.\nFrom Daisy Lake to close on the 5,000-foot level the trail never leaves the dense forest until\nabout 4,000 feet elevation, when the latter becomes interspersed with open spaces, finally dispersing into park-like clumps at the site of the camp, vanishing altogether near 6,000 feet.\nApproximately 200 specimens of plants were obtained, consisting of about 10O species; of\nthese, eleven are new to the Herbarium, While of the remainder, none hitherto existed from this\nregion in our collection. Where not otherwise indicated, the majority of species have been determined by Harold St. John.

At present the Macro-\nlepidoptera and Coleoptera are the only orders which have been worked up to any degree, and\nare listed below under their separate headings, where due acknowledgment to the various authorities consulted is made.\nLepidoptera.\nRhopalocera (Butterflies).\nOwing to the inclement weather experienced, the collections in this order were not as large\nas anticipated, nearly all the specimens being taken between August 1st and 10th, the latter part\nof July 'being quite unproductive.\nSome twenty-one species and varieties of diurnals were taken. From the condition of many\nof the specimens it is evident that they had emerged sometime earlier and had consequently not\nbeen improved 'by the .buffeting of the rain and wind.\nFor the identification of all material in this order our best thanks are due to Mr. E. H.\nBlackmore, of Victoria, and through him to Dr. J. McDunnough, of Ottawa, who determined a\nfew of the more difficult species. The species submitted to the latter are preceded by an asterisk.\nWe are also indebted to Air.

One specimen only obtained, flying near the top of Panorama Ridge at\nan altitude of 6,000 feet.\nParnassius smintheus Dbldy. & New. Several newly emerged individuals were taken on\nBlack Tusk Slopes and Panorama Ridge. (This species occurs on all the mountain-tops of\nBritish Columbia from the Rocky Mountains to Lillooet and north to the Yukon Boundary.)\nPieris napi marginalia Scud.    Black Tusk Slopes.    (This is primarily a lowland form.)\nEurymus nastes streckeri Gr. Gr. One only, flying about Valeriana sitchensis on Panorama\nRidge. (This is a high-altitude form and is rather rare in collections. It has been taken previously on Mount McLean (8,000 feet) and on Pearson Mountain (7,000 feet), 25 miles west of\nPenticton.)\nCEneis beani Elwes. One taken in numbed condition on Black Tusk Glacier; one or two\nothers seen on Panorama Ridge. Also recorded from Alount Luxor by C. Berkeley in \" B.C.\nMountaineer.\"   This was taken by Mr. Hossie at about the same time.    (This species, although C 20 BRITISH COLUMBIA.\nconfined to high altitudes, is rather local. It has only been recorded previously from two other\nlocalities, the top of Mount AlcLean and on Big Bar Mountain, in the Cariboo District.)\nErebia vidleri Elwes. Two specimens, on flowers of Valeriana sitchensis; one in a perfectly\nfresh condition and probably newly emerged. Panorama Ridge. (This is a more or less common\nspecies throughout Southern British Columbia at elevations of 4,000 feet and up.)\nArgynnis hydaspc sakuntula Skin. One worn specimen, Black Tusk Aleadows. (This form\nis only distinguished from rhodope Edw. hy the complete absence of silver spots on the underside ; rhodope, although practically unsilvered, always has the marginal lunules of the hind wings\nsilvered.)\nArgynnis bischoffi opis Edw. and\nArgynnis bischoffi washingtonia B. & McD. Both these forms occurred together, the latter,\nhowever, being much more plentiful. Black Tusk Meadows and Panorama Ridge.

One or two were observed.\nAglais milberti Godt.    Four or five freshly emerged specimens.\nVanessa cardui L.    Two somewhat worn, large females were taken on Black Tusk Ridge.\nHeodes mariposa Beck.\nHeodes helloides Bdv.    These were of frequent occurrence, the latter being quite common.\nHeodes cupreus Edw. Very scarce and only occurring at high altitudes. Panorama Ridge\nand Gentian Ridge (7,500 feet). (The first authentic record of this brilliant species was made\nby Mr. A. Phair in August, 1917, who took several specimens in poor condition on Alount McLean.\nOdd specimens have been recorded from Revelstoke and Kaslo.)\nPlebeius melissa Edw.   Very abundant on the lower slopes.\nPlebeius aquilo rustica Edw. Scarce; three specimens, summit of Gentian Ridge and Panorama Ridge. (This high-altitude species occurs on all the high peaks throughout the various\nmountain ranges of the Province and has been recorded from a number of localities.)\nOchlodes sylvanoides Bdv. Two females in good condition were taken. (This is a lowland\nspecies, hut the specimens taken are much larger and darker than those found at sea-level.)\nThe rich floral slopes and \" draws \" of Black Tusk and Panorama Ridge proved the best\ngeneral habitat of the foregoing, the flowers of Valeriana sitch ensis being particularly attractive.\nHeterocera (Moths).\nThe Noctuidse were by far the most in evidence of the larger moths, although at no time\nabundant. Nearly all listed below are very rare in collections, and one is new to the Province.\nThey were all taken by day, flying erratically in the hot sunshine, about the beds of Valeriana\nbefore mentioned. Unless otherwise stated, they were obtained on the slopes of Panorama Ridge,\nwhich appeared to be the hest locality in the neighbourhood of the camp.\nIn all, approximately 175 specimens of Heterocera were secured\u201475 Macros and 100 Micros.\nOnly the former have been worked up at present.\nPhragmatobia fuliginosa borealis Straud. Two specimens of this uncommon species were\ntaken floating on water, Black Tusk Meadows. (This species is exceedingly scarce in the Province, although I have records from five different localities. Single specimens have been taken at\nAlberni, Vancouver, and Vernon. Some few years ago they were fairly plentiful one season at\nFraser Mills, hut since then have become practically extinct.)\nOrosagrotis incognita Sm. Short series. One specimen, also taken at \" light\" at Daisy\nLake Lodge (1,200 feet). (This is the most western record of this species. The only previous\nrecord for British Columbia was at Mount McLean, where Alessrs. Day and Hanham took a nice\nseries in 1921.)\nScotogramma oregonica Wlk. One specimen. (Although having a wide distribution, this\nis a very scarce species in collections, only one or two individuals having been taken in the various localities.

One specimen.\nAutographa excelsana alta Ottol. (PI. I., Fig. 3.) A short series of this high-altitude form.\nIt was far more in evidence than any other noctuid. (In 1902 Ottolengui described this as a\ndistinct species under the name excelsa, but owing to a rearrangement of genera in Barnes &\nMcDunnongh's Check-list of 1917, this name became a homonym, and in 1919 Ottolengui changed\nit to alta. According to Dr. AlcDunnough, in 1916 Straud gave the name excelsana to the form\nwithout the dot following the comma, and this name is therefore used for the species with the\nname alta as form norm.    Specimens have also been taken at Alount AlcLean and Kaslo.)\nDysstroma citrata immanata Haw. One specimen in open fir forest at base of Panorama\nRidge.\nEulype hastata subhastata Nolc.

It has been associated with mathewi Hy. Edw., but although similar in superficial\nappearance it is quite distinct; roseicaput is a high-altitude species occurring at elevations from\n5,000 to 8,000 feet, while mathewi occurs at sea-level and is apparently restricted to Arancouver\nIsland and the Lower Fraser Aralley.

Black Tusk Meadows. Only to be seen on hot,\nsuuny days.    British Columbia to California.\nXylotrechus undulatus Say. One on stump of newly felled Abies lasiocarpa. This is very\nprotectingly coloured.    It is exceedingly active when alarmed.    Continental wide.\nAtimia dorsalis Lee. No living examples were found, but many remains occurred in the\nbark of Chamwcyparis nootkatensis. The larv\u00ae tunnel tortuous galleries in the substance of the\nbark, or immediately beneath, in the sapwood, depending on the thickness of the former. The\npupal cell is the slightly enlarged termination of the gallery just beneath the outer surface, the\nexit being finally completed by the adult, emerging through an elliptical hole. The gallery is\nfilled with tightly packed frass. The bark of some of the trees was quite riddled with their\nwork.    Dead or dying trees only were affected.    British Columbia to California.\nMonochamus oregonensis Lee. Quite abundant about newly felled Abies lasiocarpa in hot\nsunshine only. They were observed running over the bark or busily paired.

Several on the glacier and on leaves of willow (Salix commutata\ndenudata). The willows in some cases had numerous ova and young larva? on the leaves, no\npupa? could be found, and adults were very scarce; hence it is presumed that the latter were\nhibernating individuals.    Evidences were that adults would be plentiful in late August.\nHymenoptera.\n(Identified at Ottawa, per R. Hopping.)\nTenthredinidw.\nTenthredo unicinctus Novt.

This was frequently met with about the\nmeadows and floral slopes; all of the specimens encountered were noticeably more brightly and\nlightly coloured than those of Daisy Lake. Nearly every little lochan had its toad inhabitant,\nwhile others were found on the stream-banks, near the old burrows of a chipmunk, into which\nthey retreated when disturbed.\nRana pretiosa pretiosa B. & G. (Spotted Frog). Taken only at Daisy Lake, where it is\ncommon.\nAmbystoma sp. (Salamander). A badly damaged Salamander, which may be A. decorticata,\nwas taken in a mouse-trap on Black Tusk Meadow.

Bank of Parnassus Creek;\ntwo specimens.\nEvotomys gapperi saturatus Rhoads (Arole). Bank of Parnassus Creek; three specimens.\nOne of these was fond of running over the sleepers in the tent. Two are young specimens and\nlack the rufous tinge of the mature animal.\nZapus trinotatus trinotatus Rhoads (Jumping Alouse). Black Tusk Aleadows; one specimen.    This had its burrow on flat ground among long grass, away from any bank or root.\nIn checking up the distribution of the foregoing, it is noted that several in their subspecific\nforms reach their northern limit in Southern British Columbia, being otherwise found along\nthe coast to California;   such are Z. trinotatus, P. oreas, and Sorex. v. vagrans.\nSpecies seen or reported but not taken include the following:\u2014\nBlack Bear (Euarctos a. americanus Pallas). Several times they were seen on the trail\nbetween camp and Daisy Lake.\nThe Puma and Wolves are also reported to occasionally occur in the district.\nLittle Chief Hare, Pika (Ochotona f. fenisex Osgood). Occasionally seen and more often\nheard among the larger rocks at the foot of the screes. One was observed to be contentedly\nmunching the lichen on the rocks.\nCoast Deer (Odocoileus c. columbianus Rich.).

A. Hardy.\nThe present article may be considered to be an extension of that in the previous report,\ndealing with the Coleoptera of this region, where the family Cerambycidie was dealt with.\nThe territory worked over coincides with that therein outlined. Preference has been given\nto captures appertaining to the last three years, but no records that could be satisfactorily verified\nare omitted.\nThe Buprestida? is a very large family, having its metropolis in the tropics, where they are\nnoted for the brilliance and variety of colour of many species, and have a very metallic appearance, a character further enhanced by the strength and compactness of structure.\nThe early stages of their life are spent within the wood or bark of various trees and shrubs,\noccasionally being sufficiently abundant to be of serious economic importance.\nThe larva? or \" Flat-headed Borers\" are of characteristic shape, the first two or three\nsegments being so greatly enlarged as to give a club-like appearance to the whole. Their existence is usually spent within or under the bark or in the heart-wood, occasionally (Chrysophana)\nin the cones of Pinus.    The pupal stage is passed within the end of the larval gallery.\nThe adults are essentially lovers of the hot sunshine, and may be found sunning themselves\non the trunks of standing or newly felled trees; the incense emanating from the latter is\nespecially attractive to them. Other species frequent flowers (Anthaxia), some rest on leaves\nor twigs (Agrilus). Some are quite sluggish (Chalcophora and Buprestis), while others, on the\ncontrary, are exceedingly nimble (Chrysobothris), taking to the wing as readily as the bluebottle fly.\nNomenclature followed is Leng's \" Catalogue of Coleoptera of North America,\" 1920.\nReference is made in the list to the recently published work on the Buprestida? of North\nAmerica by W. J. Chamberlin, an indispensable book to any one engaged in the study of this\nfamily.\nPopular names are added in recognition of the general demand for such.\nAcknowledgments.\u2014AVe have much pleasure in offering our cordial thanks to Dr. E. C.\nVan Dyke, of Berkeley, Calif., for his kindness and courtesy in identifying most of the difficult\nspecies, together with detailed notes on distribution, etc.; and also to Mr. W. J. Chamberlin, of\nCorvallis, Ore., Messrs. R. and G. R. Hopping, of Vernon, B.C., and W. S. Fisher, of Washington,\nD.C, for much valuable assistance in many ways.
