Extract

The beetles enumerated below were taken in 1897, some of them while the writer visited that city on the occasion of the annual meeting of The Royal Society of Canada, in June. Unfortunately, the weather was most unpropitious for insect hunting until the last day, when quite a number were taken, and later on in the season the list was increased by captures made by a brother, resident of the city.

While some of the species were well represented, very many were by only one or two specimens, and in a few cases by three or four. I feel very gratful to Prof. H. F. Wickham for kindly determining many of the species.

* The Chrysomela is very near the European Staphylea, Linn, if not the same. Comparing it with one specimen from Europe, the Nova Scotian insect is larger, being .32 in., as compared to .26 in., the length of the one from Europe. The thorax of the European insect is more densely, and the elytry much more coarsely, punctured than in the N. S. insect.
