The Geometers of this Province, in respect to both my own captures and those of other collectors which I have been privileged to see, appear to be fairly well identified.

In December last I was honoured by a flying visit from Mr. Hutchinson, of Kinosota, on Lake Manitoba. He brought in a whole collection of things with him, some for names, others for my benefit. Among the moths we were unable to tackle satisfactorily were a few Geometers. Our friend is developing into an enthusiastic entomologist, and we look for some good work from him in the near future. Few of us, I fancy, would care to be hampered with numerous cases of insects, in addition to other “impedimenta,” when undertaking a seventy-mile sleigh drive in bitter weather to reach the nearest railway station.
