White Bass. A specimen of this handsome tish was obtained by Mr. Phillips Wolley in Sooke Harbour, last January. It was found on the surface of the water, in distress, and surrounded by Dogfish, which had mutilated its pectoral and caudal fins to such an extent that it was unable to escape. This fish has not been previously recorded •north of Cape Mendicino. Its weight, was 45 lbs. Apart from its injuries, it appeared in good condition, although nothing was found in its stomach. The skin was forwarded to Dr. Jordan for identification. Oncorhynchus Kennerlyi. Mr. C. Worsfold forwarded a specimen of this little salmon from Shawnigan Lake, where it was caught with spoon bait. It has not hitherto, to my knowledge, been found west of the Cascade Mountains, and its occurrence on Vancouver Island is certainly remarkable. It does not appear to be plentiful in the lake, and nothing has been learned of its life history, but now that attention has been called to the fact that it is to be found so close to Victoria, perhaps some information may be obtained concerning its habits. In the Annual Report of the Canadian Fisheries Department a description is given by Dr. Jordan of a new.species of land-locked salmon in British Columbia. Oncorhynchus Kamloops. With all due deference to that distinguished ichthyologist, I must take exception to this fish being classed among the Oncorhynchi. The anal fin rays number but 11 or 12 and it should therefore be included in the genus Salmo. Dr. Jordan thinks it may possibly be descended from the Spring Salmon, 0. ehouieha, but for my own part I fail to see, from the description, where it differs from S. gairdneri in any respect. Unfortunately no descrip- 10 Natural History tion is given of the number of pyloric coeca, of the shape of the preoper- culum or of the colour of the flesh, which would have helped definitely to have identified the fish. I have sent to Kamloops for specimens, and when I receive them will send some to Dr. Jordan, who may perhaps be induced to alter his opinion. If it be a new species, I believe it will be found to be distributed throughout the greater portion of the upper country. Couesius Creeni. Species nova. A minnow from a lake near Fort St. James, was obtained from Mr. Traill, the H. B. Co. officer in charge of that post. Its range is unknown, and it appears to be rare in that part of the country. It is a small fish, seldom exceeding six inches in length, and averaging only four. Two specimens were sent to Dr. Jordan, who furnishes the following description. Head, 4^ in length * depth, 4^. D. 8 ; A. 8. Scales, 10-57-7. Teeth, 2-4-4-2. Length of largest specimen, 6^ in. Body robust, the back convex before the dorsal. The profile of head straight and rather steep. The space between the eyes broad and flatish, 3|-in. head. Snout bluntish, but rather long, 3f-in. head. The pre-maxil- lary just above the level of the lower part of the pupil I maxillary reaching almost to the front of the orbit, 3f-in. head ; barbel well developed, not quite at the end of the maxillary j its length considerably less than that of the pupil. Mouth moderately oblique, the lower jaw slightly included. Dorsal fin inserted behind the base of the ventrals and behind the middle of the body at a point mid-way between the pre-opercle and the base of the caudal, the fin of moderate height. Pectoral shortish 1 J-in. head, ventrals nearly 2. Caudal well forked, the lobes equal, If-in. head. Scales larger than in related species, scarcely reduced forward and but little smaller on the back than on the sides. 36 scales in front of the dorsal. Colour dark olive above, the sides reddish silvery. Very slight traces of a lateral band, a dark streak below the eve undulating and extending from the side of the upper jaw to the opercle. Lining of shoulder rather dusky. Fins without definite marking, the upper somewhat dusky. This species is related to Couesius plumbeus of the upper Missouri and Lake Superior region, from which species it differs in the size of the scales and in some details in form. The head is especially large and heavy. Mylochilus Caurinus. A specimen of this chub, taken from Fish-hook Lake, has been sent me from Mr. C N. Young, of Nanaimo. It has also been reported by Mr. Skinner as occurring in Kennedy Lake, and in the brackish water at the mouth of the stream flowing from it. It is, I believe, rare on Vancouver Island, although common on the Mainland.—A. H. G. Art III. REPORT ON THE ENTOMOLOGY OF BRITISH COLUMBIA. (By W. H. Danby and C. De Blois Green.) -o- Tt is very pleasing to know that the past year has fully proved. British Columbia to be a mine of wealth to the Entomologist ] but while the Mainland has produced many rare species of DITJRNALS, the palm must be awarded to Vancouver Island, where new species of the HETEROCERA have been found, owing to the untiring energy of members of this Society. In two instances new genera rewarded dilligeht work, thus showing that Vancouver Island, in itself, is a grand field of research. p A list of captures during 1892, is given as far as possible; hut the names of species belonging to the GEOMETRINA, cannot be included in this report, for the reason that, to get them named by competent authorities takes considerable time, in consequence of the great care necessary to avoid mistakes. Many species have, however, been collected of this family, and their names will probably be known soon, when full information will be given the Society for the benefit of collectors. Other new species, and probably new genera, are expected to be amongst the specimens which have been forwarded East for determination, and until they have been authenticated bv comparison with known types, we must rest satisfied with the result as far as known. In regard to the D1URNALS, much good work has been achieved. The beautiful Satyrid, CHIONOBAS gigas, which has hitherto been considered strictly local in its habitat on Mount Finlayson, being proved to be generally common in the Highlands of South Vancouver Island. As far as known, CHIONOBAS gigas is confined to this Island, no account of its capture on the Mainland being recorded. During 1892, the Vancouver Island oak tree pest, which has for years defoliated the oaks around Victoria, was conspicuous by its absence. There is" no doubt but that the larvae of this insect (ELLOPIA somniaria) were 12 Natural History nearly exterminated by their natural parasite, the Ichneumon fly (I cestus, Cress), and the Chrysalides by the attacks of a funguous disease which Professor James Fletcher has had identified by Professor Roland Thaxter as SPOROTRICHUM globuliferum, Spegazzini, a fungus which has done splendid work in attacking many other obnoxious insects, the ova also were to a great extent destroyed by a beautiful little PROCTOTRYPID. Owing to these combined circumstances the trees in Beacon Hill Park last year were at their best, being in full leaf and throwing a shade which gave gratification to pleasure seekers dilring the hot summer. No great work was done in collecting OOLEOPTERA, with perhaps the exception of capturing that rare beetle Ulochsetes leoninus, which is one of the few short winged species of this family in our fauna, a single specimen being taken at Alert Bay (Can Ent, XXIII, p. 283.), and a few other rare specimens being collected in Victoria, names of which have yet to be received. Many DIPTERA were collected, names unknown with the exception of Anisopogon ludius, n sp., named by Mr. D. W. Coquillett, Los Angeles, Calf, which was captured at Goldstream, on Mount Austin (Can Ent, XXV, p. 21). Amongst the ARACHNIDS very little was achieved, the species taken being collected more for friends than study. However a few specimens were kindly named by Dr. Nathan Banks, of Washington, D. C, amongst them being new species of PARDORA, and CORIARACTINE, also a variety of EPEIRA insularis, Hentz. The Society tenders its thanks to the following gentlemen for their kind assistance in naming and donating specimens, and helping its members to classify their captures : Mr. W. H. Edwards, Coalburgh, W. Va.; Mr. B. Neuinoegen, New York; Professor James Fletcher, Ottawa, and Professor J. B. Smith, Washington, D. C. It is the sincere desire of the entomological members of this Society to see the Museum collection increase, and to that end they intend as far as possible to contribute series or types of all species captured, so that not only the members, but visitors, may obtain what information is possible as to the Entomology of British Columbia, especially as regards the LEPIDOPTERA. Among the gifts to the Museum cabinet in 1892, were rare Coleoptera from Professor James Fletcher, including LIPAROOEPHALCJS brevipennis, which was only previously known by the unique type specimen. Various RHOPALOCERA and HETEROCERA was presented by members, and the specimen of Ulochsetes leoninus was from Mr. Harry Pidcock, V5" of British Columbia, 13 PRELIMINARY CHECK LIST -OF- LEPIDOPTERA COLLECTED IN BRITISH COLUMBIA.

D. -o- In preparing the following Catalogue of the Brachyura and Anomura of British Columbia, the writer has had great assistance from Mr. James E. Benedict and Miss Mary J. Rathbun, of the United States National Museum, Washington. By their aid all doubtful species have been named or verified, and three species belonging to the Province, but not in the collection of the Museum, have been added to it. As Brandt's descriptions of his genera and species of Anomoura are seldom accessible to students on this side of the American continent, it has been thought advisable to give them somewhat fully. Short notes of all the other species are also given. The plates are of rare species in the Museum, from photographs taken by Fleming Bros., of Victoria. DECAPODA BRACHYURA. Tribe OXYRHYNCA. .

The following list is based on the second Report upon the Mollusca of the West Coast of North America, made to the British Association by the late Dr. P. P. Carpenter, in 1863, and reprinted with other papers by the Smithsonian Institution in 1872. Additional information has been derived from various papers by Mr, J. F. Whiteaves, F. R. S. Can., &c, Assistant Director, Geological Survey of Canada; viz. :— 1st. " On some Invertebrata from the West Coast of North America, collected by Mr. J.

For invaluable critical assistance with regard to new and doubtful species, the writer is indebted to Mr. W. H. Dall, of the Smithsonian Institution, Washington, and for opportanities of comparison with named species, to the: Rev. G. W. Taylor, of Victoria. The latter has also given notes of species collected by him and not hitherto recorded from this Province. 32 Natural History The following are the principal additions to the molluscan fauna of British Columbia made by various collectors since Mr. Whiteaves' last report.

With respect to classification. Dr. P. P. Carpenter's arrangement has been followed throughout, with such modifications of nomenclature as have been made by Mr. W. H. Dall and are reported in Mrs. M. Burton Williamson's "Annotated List of the Shells of San Pedro Bay and Vicinity," published in the Proceedings of the United States National Museum, Vol. XV, 1892. It is to be hoped that the large amount of new material lately acquired by the Str. Albatross, of the United States Fish Commission, on the north-west coast of America may soon be fully reported upon, and that Mr. Dall and his associates at the Smithsonian Institution may have an early opportunity of extending to the Pacific shores the advantage of such careful investigations as have added so much to the knowledge of the mollusca of the Atlantic states. Meantime the following list of authorities for the majority of the species on the list may be of assistance to those who have access to large libraries. For those who have not, the Smithsonian reprint above mentioned will be found to be the most useful book to refer to. Nearly all the references have been verified in the libraries of the British Museum and the Natural History Museum at South Kensington; at the latter with the kind assistance of Mr. E. A. Smith, Curator in charge of the conchological collections. 1. Aurivillius and Leche. Ofvers. of v. deaf Vega.-Expedit., 2 parts. Stockholm, 1883 87. 1a. Adams, A. Proc. Zool.
