Early in January the interior of the Museum was painted and thoroughly renovated; this was badly needed, and was made more necessary on account of having to move the bird-cases from the walls in order to make more space to accommodate four new bird-cases, which were made under the supervision of the Government carpenter on the premises. The new arrangement of the cases on the upper floor made considerably more room, and I consider the arrangement much better. The collection of birds was thoroughly gone over, rearranged, labelled, and a large number of specimens added. Several new mammals have also been added to the ground-floor, and a large number of heads have been mounted and hung on the walls, of which some are records. At present all the specimens in the Museum are too overcrowded to allow visitors to properly inspect them, and I have had to defer the mounting of any more mammals or groups until such time as we have space; therefore, most of the work performed in the workshop at present is confined to preserving the specimens and placing them in storage (which is also limited). During the spring I made a trip to the interior and secured heads of the local mammals; a number of these were mounted and hung on the walls at the Government House by request of His Honour the Lieutenant-Governor. A collection of heads is also in preparation for the Agent-General’s office in London, which will be of great interest and value to British Columbia. The correspondence in the Curator’s office is increasing, and keeps in touch with all the leading museums. A great many applications have been made by school-teachers (more especially in the United States) for copies of the Natural History Bulletins to be used in their nature studies. Considerable correspondence is carried on with the people of the Province in regard to our native fauna. A number of books and pamphlets have been received for the Museum Library from various museums in the United States and the United Kingdom, referring to the study of natural history in all its branches. Dr. C. F. Newcombe has continued his research, and also in collecting anthropological material relating to the aboriginal races of the Province, and has secured a large collection of specimens (which haye been placed in storage), together with data of the various tribes. The Anthropological Department is at present receiving special attention, before it becomes too late to gather all the material and information relative to the Indians of British Columbia (which at one time was a great race). I would like to suggest, if it were possible to interest a few, if not all, of our road foremen, surveyors, and engineers in construction camps, that they look out for archzological specimens and forward them to the Provincial Museum ; their doing so would greatly assist us in our efforts to retain for this Province valuable specimens, which otherwise may be taken out and lost to us for ever. The Provincial Museum has been very fortunate in having the co-operation of two of the experts from the Smithsonian Institution at Washington, D.C.—N. Hollister, of the Division of Mammals, and J. H. Riley, of the Division of Birds—who accompanied Director A. O. Wheeler, of the Alpine Club of Canada, on an expedition to the Yellowhead Pass and Q 6 PRovinciAL Museum REporr. 1918 Mount Robson region in the summer of 1911. A small appropriation was made to Director Wheeler, who had offered to look after specimens for the Provincial Museum. I met the party on their return to Edmonton, Alberta, and arranged with Messrs. Riley and Hollister that, after they had taken the collection to the Smithsonian Institution and examined the specimens, they would send a report on the birds and mammals of that district, also to send the Provincial Museum duplicates of the birds and mammals collected. The reports have been received, also the specimens, several of which are new species, being described by N. Hollister. E. M. Anderson, Assistant Curator, was Acting-Curator from May to August, during the Curator’s visit East and to Europe, who had gone to study plans, arrangement, and management of the larger institutions of America and Europe, in preparation for the new Museum to be built in Victoria, and also to attend the annual meeting of the American Association of Museums. The first museum visited was the Field Museum of Natural History at Chicago; second, the Smithsonian Institution and National Museum at Washington, where considerable time was spent in going over the vast collections, also through all the departments of the Biological Survey. I was loyally received and entertained and extended every privilege by the Secretary, Dr. Chas. D. Walcott, Mr. Rathbun, Dr. Merriam, Director Henshaw, and others of the staff of the Smithsonian Institution. From Washington I proceeded to New York City, and attended the meeting of the American Association of Museums, held June 4th to 7th, 1912, in the lecture-room of the American Museum of Natural History. The meetings were presided over by the President, Prof. Ed. 8. Morse, of the Peabody Museum, Salem, Mass. The address of welcome was delivered by Prof. Henry Fairfield Osborn, President of the American Museum of Natural History; followed by the roll-call, eighty-four members answering their names, being repre- sentatives from nearly all the leading museums in America. Papers were read on care, management, preservation of specimens, and other matter relating to museum-work, and discussions after each. Upon invitation, meetings were held at the Metropolitan Museums of Art, and also at the Museum of the Brooklyn Institute. After each meeting sufticient time was given for the inspection of the collections, offices, and laboratories. Previous to the meeting of the Association of Museums, I visited the American Museum of Natural History, and was well received by Dr. Lucas, the Director, and personally conducted by him over that magnificent institution, and was given a great amount of information in regard to the Museum and museum-work. After the Association of Museums adjourned, I left New York for London, England, and there visited the Natural History Museum and other museums, and was received by Director Fletcher and Prof. Lydekker. I inspected the vast collection of valuable material to be seen in the institution. While in London I received an invitation from the Right Honourable Lord Pontypridd, President of the National Museum of Wales, at Cardiff, through Dr. Hoyle, the Director, to be present at the laying of the foundation-stone of the new National Museum in that city by His Majesty King George the Fifth on July 26th, 1912. The ceremony took place in the presence of nearly three thousand people, representing all classes of the community and all parts of the principality. _ His Majesty’s gracious words in reply to the loyal address presented to him, the interest he displayed in the details of the model, and his remarks to the officers of the Museum gave abundant evidence of his cordial approval of the enterprise and his desire for its success. The proceedings were carried out in the brilliant sunshine, and gave full satisfaction to all concerned. ‘OA VMOPTA ‘TUhosnyT [RIUTAOIg (‘uoutpadg adaq) ‘(Aepeaioyy ‘wun 3109) TAGHS NIVEINOQOW S.NINNVA rs on wae F sil u 3 Gao. 5 ProvinciaL MusEumM REporRT. On The Council was specially gratified by the friendly interest manifested in the event by kindred institutions both in the British Isles and abroad. The American Museum of Natural History, New York, honoured the Museum by sending over its Director, Dr. Lucas, to repre- sent it at the ceremony, and the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, appointed Dr. Ed. Robinson and Mr. W. R. Valentiner to attend on its behalf. Dr. C. W. Beebe, the Curator of Birds, represented the New York Zoological Gardens, and Mr. F. Kermode, the Provincial Museum, Victoria, B.C. Sir Cecil Harcourt Smith and Mr. ©. E. Fagan represented the Victoria and Albert Museum and the British Museum respectively. Heads of many other kindred institutions in England also attended, including Dr. W. M. Tattersall, Manchester; Mr. T. Sheppard, Hull; Alderman J. Fuller Eberle (Chairman of the Museum Committee); Mr. H. Bolton ; and Mr. R. Quick, of Bristol. At the ceremony I met the Director of the Bristol Museum, Mr. H. Bolton, who visited the Provincial Museum with the British Association when they came to America for their meeting, extending their trip to British Columbia. Upon invitation of Director Bolton and Mr. J. Fuller Eberle, the Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Bristol Museum, I visited Bristol and received a cordial welcome, and was shown considerable material of interest regarding museum-work. After leaving Bristol I visited the Natural History Museums in Paris, Frankfurt, Berlin, and Hamburg, on the Continent, which were of great interest to me as one who is interested in the condition of the educational value of an up-to-date museum. From Hamburg I went to Edinburgh, Scotland, and visited the Royal Scottish Museum, and was taken over the collection by the Director, Sir T. Carlow Martin, LL.D. Leaving Edinburgh, I went to Liverpool and visited the Natural History Museum under the direction of Dr. J. A. Clubb. On my return to Canada I visited the Museums at Quebec and Ottawa. In conclusion, I may say that, having been permitted by the Government to visit thesé large institutions of the world, it has been a great education to me, and I hope that when the new Museum is built I shall be able to carry out some of the ideas that I have formed of what an educational museum should be, and also what it means to the community at large. The Provincial Museum has been honoured by the visits of several leading men in science, who expressed themselves as deeply interested in what they inspected, and that the Provincial Museum had exceeded all their expectations as a Provincial collection. Dr. A. R. Crook, Director of the Illinois State Museum of Natural History, whom I met at the meeting of the American Museums Association, and who has since visited our Museum, had nothing but praise, and said that it was the finest local collection he had ever seen. The most distinguished personages who visited the Museum were the Royal party, Their Royal Highnesses the Duke and Duchess of Connaught and Princess Patricia, who spent some time in going over the collection, and expressed admiration of the big-game and anthropological collections. ATTENDANCE. The attendance showed a slight increase over 1911—37,897 visitors signing the register. I venture to say that, on an average, about one in five of the travelling public insert their names in the book. The Museum is open to the public (free) every week-day (except New Year’s Day, Good Friday, and Christmas) from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., and on Sunday afternoons, from the first Sunday in May to the last Sunday in October, from 1 p.m. to 5 p.m. Q 8 ProvinctaL MuseuM REPORT. 1913 ACCESSIONS TO THE PROVINCIAL MUSEUM DURING 1912.

Provincia Museum, Vicrorra, B.C., December 31st, 1913. The Honourable H. FE. Young, M.D., Provincial Secretary, Victoria, B.C. Str,—The work of the Provincial Museum of Natural History during the past year has been more extensive in its scope, and, I believe, more productive in results which are calculated to advance and serve the purposes of popular instruction, than in any preceding year. It is gratifying to note that the earnest and persistent efforts made during the past years have won the generous and appreciative recognition not only of scientific men, but of the general public, and that our institution as a Museum of Provincial Natural History and Anthropology is recognized as one of the foremost of its kind. There is no way of accurately recording the attendance, but a glance at the visitors register shows the names of people from all parts of the world. Only a very small proportion of persons visiting the Museum utilize the register, 33,896 only having recorded during 1913. Several classes from the public schools under the direction of their teachers have visited the Museum, and I think that, if other teachers would take an opportunity of bringing their classes to visit the Museum, it would be of great benefit to the students in their nature-studies. Tt has been the endeavour of the Director to make every dollar of expenditure tell in the direction of increasing the extent and value of the possessions of the Museum. Considerable scientific research has been carried on in the field during the year, and the Director proposes to continue this work and have parties in the field each year until every portion of the Province has been covered ; the country offering almost unlimited opportunities for the enthusiastic collector. On April 7th, E. M. Anderson, of the Museum staff, accompanied by an assistant, C. B. Garrett, were Sent afield to make a general collection of zoological specimens in the Okanagan Valley from the south end of Okanagan Lake to the United States boundary. Many valuable specimens were added to the Museum, several species being new to the collection. During the three months’ trip there were collected: 306 birds, 580 oological specimens (comprising 114 sets of eggs with nests), 278 mammals, 36 batrachins and reptiles, 11 fishes, and over 4,000 entomological specimens. Special attention was given during the year to our collection of fishes. An interesting and beautiful series of casts has now been arranged in eight cases on the upper floor in the north section of the Museum. These casts, carefully coloured, represent the salmon family in both salt-water and spawning forms, and other fishes indigenous to the waters of the Province. In addition to the above, many new specimens have been preserved in alcohol, and the whole collection of fishes rearranged. During the months of May and June the Director, accompanied by an official of the Pro- vincial Secretary's Department, made several week-end trips to Bare and Saturna Islands, and secured some very interesting material. The Director has this year taken up with more activity the question of the preservation ot wild life, and having the permission of the Honourable H. E. Young, M.D., Provincial Secretary and Minister of the Department, invited the Royal Commission on Indian Affairs for the Province of British Columbia to visit Bare Island, an Indian reserve, which has been proposed as a bird sanctuary. The invitation was accepted, the launch “Gunhild” chartered, and the trip taken on July 4th. The Commission was greatly impressed with what they saw of the bird-life on this island, and negotiations are now in progress with the Department of Indian Affairs at Ottawa to have Bare Island made a permanent bird sanctuary for the preservation of wild life. ? G 6 ProvinctaL Museum Report. 1914 . C. F. Newcombe has continued his work of collecting anthropological material and data ee to the Coast tribes, and has secured a large number of rare and valuable specimens, one of which is a large board sail, which I believe is the first that has been secured by any museum. Dr. New combe’s report is annexed hereto. Mr. J. A. Teit, of Spences Bridge, has also continued the work of collecting anthropological material from the Interior tribes, and has been very successful in securing a great deal of wearing-apparel, baskets, ete. Dr. Newcombe having been employed by the Fisheries Department to carry on investiga- tions regarding the life- history of sea-lions, the Director left Victoria on June 17th for Nami to accompany him to the rookeries in the Sea Otter Group, south-west of Cape Calvert. On arriving at Namu on the 20th, the launch “Chaos” was chartered and left the same evening tor Cape Calvert. On the way down Fitzhugh Sound, about 9.30 p.m., when nearing Safety Cove, the “ Karluk” on her way north, with “the Steffanson Arctic Expedition on board, was passed. Early next morning a start was made round Sorrow Island and Cape Calvert, out to sea in a south-westerly direction to Devil and Pearl Rocks, which are about seven mules off shore. On approaching Devil Rock only a few sea-lions were found, probably about 200, but at the next point visited, Pearl Rocks, which is the main rookery, the number estimated was 1,500 males and females and about 500 pups. In an endeavour to secure specimens several shots were fired, but when hit the animals would roll off the rocks into the sea and sink almost immediately. One large male, however, was secured before it sank, and was towed back to Grief Bay, a distance of seven miles, where it was hauled up as the tide came in, to be skinned and prepared for transportation. "This mammal measured 11 feet 6 inches in length and 8 feet 6 inches around the neck, and weighed about 2,500 tb. Several good photographs were secured, showing the rocks inhabited by these large. sea- ce alae Early the next morning Pearl Rocks were revisited, and subsequently W. atch Rock, where approximately 500 males and females, including pups, were observed. Bird Rock, which is nearer the shoreline of Calvert Island, was also visited. This is a small island, chiefly rock, where a number of glacous-wing culls and cormorants nest, and should be set aside as a bird sanctuary ; the birds on this island are not found in any such numbers as on Bare Island, near Victoria. On August 30th the Director and his assistant left Victoria for Atlin on a general zoological collecting trip. Although in the Atlin country only during the month of September, a considerable number of s specimens were collected, sev eral of which were not previously known to be in the Province. When it becomes possible to again visit this district and do a full season’s field-work, there can be no doubt that a number of eastern and northern species will be found within the limits of British Columbia. In a Province possessing such an enormous coast-line, the study of marine biology is of very great importance, but so far our efforts in this direction have been handicapped by the lack of suitable means for carr ying out the work. Systematic dredging along the coast must be undertaken by means of a suitable vessel. It is generally to be hoped that in the near future it will be found possible to obtain a launch for the use of the Department, in order that this important branch of our institution may not be neglected. A suitable boat would be of very great assistance also in obtaining data relating to the migration of sea-birds and the nesting habits, and would afford an opportunity of visiting cer tain little-known islands which contain material of the greatest value and interest to the Provincial Museum. Annexed will be found a complete list of all new specimens secured during the year. I have the honour to be, Sir, Your obedient servant, FRANCIS KERMODE, Director.

By E. M. Anpsrson. —~ (Nore.—Species collected on the trip are marked with an asterisk.) *HOLBELL’S GREBE (Colymbus holbelli, Reinh.). Cemmon on all the lakes throughout the valley ; breeds on Dog, Vaseaux, and Osoyoos Lakes. Eggs taken on June 11th and 16th. Nests found floating in the tule marshes and also on the margin of lakes, composed of dead rushes, grasses, ete., and lined with decayed vegetation—in about 3 feet of water. Eggs, four or five whitish buff to pale green, often stained to obscure the ground colour ; size, 2.20 x 1.45. *HorNED GREBE (Colymbus auritus, Linn.). Fairly common on lakes. Nests found well hidden amongst tules in about 4 feet of water. Three sets of eggs taken June 13th at Vaseaux Lake. Nest composed of rushes, ete., and lined with decayed vegetation. From five to eight buffy white eggs, often pale greenish ; size, 1.50x 1.25. Birds seldom found near the nests, as the eggs are incubated chiefly by the action of dead vegetation placed in the nests. Loon, Great NortHern Diver (Gavia immer, Brun.). A pair were found on all the larger lakes throughout the valley. On May 23rd, secured an interesting set of eggs at Vaseaux ‘Lake ; the ast was situated at the water’s edge, on the extreme point of a small island. Eggs two in number, of a dark Sees brown colour, spotted sparingly with black. One egg measured 2.20 x 3. 15, the larger 4.40 x 2.50; the latter a most remarkable-sized egg. HERRING-GULL (Larus argentatus, Pont.). One seen at Okanagan Lake on April 9th. MErGANSER (Vergus americanus, Cassin.). One pair seen at Okanagan Lake on April 12th ; probably breeds.

On May 12th, 1916, a nest containing eleven fresh eggs was found in the hay-loft of a log barn built on the shore of an alkaline lake. The nest was concealed in the hay under one of the big cross-beams. The loft was open in many places between the logs; there was also a large opening at the end of the building, and through this the female visited the nest. BUFFEE-HEAD (Charitonetta albeola). A common resident. Savary Island—Mr. R. 8S. Sherman, of Vancouver, who spends his annual vacation on this island, reports that he has seen specimens of Danaus archippus Fabr. (the milkweed butterfly) there every year for several years, and that this year he found several patches of milkweed growing there. As this is the natural food-plant of archippus, the probabilities are that it breeds on this island, but this fact will have to be proved before it can be accepted as such. This butterfly has a cosmopolitan range, but has not been known to breed in British Columbia, although occasional specimens have been taken in various parts of the Province. He also c mentions that Epargyreus tityrus Fabr. (the large silver-spotted skipper) was very common in July. It has been previously recorded from Vancouver and doubtfully from Glacier. Cloverdale—Mr. Bevan L. Hugh, who collected a number of geometers during the past season, captured a specimen of Philobia ulsterata Pearson. This is an exceedingly rare geometer, and is the first taken to my knowledge since 1908, when the late Mr. A. H. Bush took one In Vancouver. Amongst others taken by the same collector was a nice series of Spargania magnoliata pernotata Hulst. and a fine specimen of Selenia alciphearia ornata B. ‘& McD. =. Quesnel Forks—While engaged on business connected with the Provincial Fisheries Depart- ment in this district in late August and September, Mr. W. A. Newcombe, of Victoria, collected a few insects which proved of great interest, as we had not received any material from this particular district previously. The butterflies taken were Phyciodes campestris Behr.; Polygonia progne Cram.; and Aglais J.-album Bdv. & LeCon. A short series of Hypoprepia miniata Why. (the scarlet-winged lichen-moth) was obtained; this has previously been recorded from Kaslo. The Noctuidze comprised Buxoa minallonis — gagates Grt.; Graptolitha georgii Grt.; Catocala briseis dw. (previously recorded from Kaslo) ; ~ Autographa rectangula Wirby; and Scoliopteryr libatriz Linn. The geometers proved scarce, only three species being taken, viz.: Lygris cylina Hulst.; Hydriomena furcata Thun; and Ceratodalia gueneata Pack. Liilooet.—In the beginning of August Mr. A. W. A. Phair took two or three specimens of a bright coppery-red butterfly which we identified as Heodes cupreus Hdw. It was taken at Mount McLean at an altitude of 7,000 feet, and is a new record for British Columbia. It is yery closely allied to H. snoiwi Edw., which also occurs in British Columbia, but is very rarely taken; ¢cupreus is brighter in colour and more heavily spotted than snowi. He has kindly donated a pair for the Museum collection. j Mr. Phair, on a recent visit to Victoria, brought with him a large amount of material for identification; as many of the noctuids were new to us, we sent them to Dr. J. McDunnough for determination, with the result that many of them proved new to British Columbia, and materially add to the known lepidopterous fauna of this Province. The following is a list of those new to British Columbia: Euaoa cinereopallida Sm.; Agrotis piscipellis Grt.; Rynchagrotis vittifronus Grt.; Lasionycta rainieri Sm.; Polia nugatis Sm.; Polia farnhami Grt.; Tholera americana Sm.; and Cerapoda oblita Grt. Amongst the others were some very desirable species, the following being of special interest as extending our knowledge of their known range; Huscoa satiens Sm.; L. murdocki Sm.; Lasiestra phoca luteola Sm.; and Pseudanarta flava Grt. Ome ProyinciaL Musrum Reporr. 1918 \ : New British CoLuMBIA LEPIDOPTERA. Under this heading we publish an annotated list of those new species and varieties which haye been described during the past season. We believe that this list will be of value to those entomologists in the Province who are unable to keep in touch with all the current literature on the subject, but who are desirous of keeping their collections and check-lists up to date in nomenclature and scientific arrangement. Glaucopsyche lygdamus columbia Skin. This new race of lygdamus was deseribed by Dr. Henry Skinner in the Ent. News for May, 1917. The type and paratypes are from Port Columbia, Wash. Amongst other localities mentioned for this species is Corfield, Vancouver. We presume this is meant for Corfield, near Duncan, on Vancouver Island. This pretty blue butterfly is fairly common all over the Island about May, and has been going under the name of G@. lygdamus behrii Edw. (vide Report, Provincial Museum, 1916). he true behrii is a California race of lygdamus, with San Francisco as its probable nimotypical locality; columbia differs from behrii in being of a much deeper shade of blue and the spots on the under-side of the wings being larger. i In Vol. IIl., No. 4, Cont. Lept. No. Amer., March, 1917, Messrs. Barnes and McDunnough describe a number of new species and varieties of Geometride, amongst which are eight new to British Columbia. As these ‘‘ Contributions’ were published subsequent to the issuance of their new check-list, the following additions must be made to it :— Trichodesia albovittata tenuifasciata B. & McD. This form was described from Spirit Lake, Idaho. In the Barnes collection there were specimens from Wellington, B.C., and the writer has a specimen taken by Mr. W. H. Danby at Ymir in 1900. In this variety the white band of primaries is much narrower, being only 1 mm. in width. Thera georgii benesignata B. & McD. This racial name has been given to the Vancouver Island form on account of its larger size, paler colour, and the strong contrast between the brown median and basal areas and the ground colour. Typical georgit is now restricted to the Nevada species. The types of benesignata are from Wellington and the paratypes from Duncan. Mesoleuca gratulata latialbata B. & McD. Described from three specimens from Plumas County, Cal. In this form the median white band is strongly constricted centrally below the cell, due to an outward bulge in the dark basal area and a strong inward bend below vein 4 of the outer dark area. I have a specimen from Kaslo which Dr. McDunnough considers this form, although the basal line is not quite typical. EBpirrhe plebeculata vivida B. & McD. This is the species hitherto known as Rhewmaptera rubrosuffusata Pack., which occurs commonly throughout the Island and Lower Mainland. Rubrosuffusata has been found to be a synonym of plebeculata, which was described by Guenee, from California, and the racial name of vivida is proposed for our Vancouver Island form on account of the coloration being much better defined. In describing a new species, Phasiane ponderosa, Messrs. Barnes and McDunnough mention a variety of it under the form name of demaculata, in which the cross-lines tend to become obsolescent, especially in the females. The types are from Calgary, Alta., but one of the female paratypes is from Field, B.C. We have two rather worn females, one from Atlin, taken by Wi. M. Anderson, and one from. Chilcotin, taken by W. A. Newcombe, so that although uncommon it is widely distributed. ‘ Itame plumosata B. & McD. This pretty yellow and brown geometer was described from specimens taken in various localities in Arizona and Utah. We have a male specimen from Mount McLean near Lillooet, taken in July, 1916, by E. M. Anderson. It is rather remarkable that this species should turn up here, as it is a long way from its nimotypical locality; it is apparently a high altitude species and may turn up on any of the high mountains in the inter- vening country. Cleora satisfacta B. & McD. Described from one male and one female taken at Kaslo. This is closer in general habitus to erceclsaria Streck and albescens Hulst. than to any other Cleora that occurs in the Province. Aithaloptera anticaria fumata B. & McD. This is the insect from Kaslo that has been previously known as 47. intertata Walk. Dr. McDunnough states that anticaria should be used for the common Eastern species instead of intextata, and proposes the name of fumata for the Cleora excelsaria Streck. Goldstream, B.C. (Blackmore). (Very rare.) Xanthorhe blackmorci Swett. (Paratype male.) Victoria, B.C. (Blackmore). (New to science.) Xanthorhe macdunnoughi Swett. (Allotype female.) Victoria, B.C. (Blackmore).

O 15 Kaslo race, which is more eyenly suifused with smoky brown and with the lines more or less obsolescent. The types are six males from Kaslo, presumably taken by Mr. J. W. Cockle. This locality is the only one from which we have any record of this species. In addition to the foregoing, it is as well to note that Messrs. Barnes and McDunnough have given the study of Sicya macularia Harris and its various races considerable attention, with the result that crecearia Pack. is rescued from the synonymy and applied to the form that occurs in the Great Basin Region of the United States, and also to a similar form occurring on Van- Gouver Island. For the benefit of those collectors who may think that they have two different yarieties of this species, it is as well to add that this form is sexually dimorphic. In a long series taken by the writer it is noticeable that while the females in general are much scarcer than the males, the dimorphic female is far more prevalent than the ‘typical one. In Cont. Lep. No. Amer., Vol. IV., No. 1, May, 1917, Messrs. Barnes and McDunnough have revised the whole of the genus Hydriomena. Many radical changes have been made and new species added, some of which refer to our British Columbia forms, so that it will be advisable for collectors to alter their check-lists accordingly. ~ Hydriomena albifasciata victoria B..& McD. This has always been listed as reflata Grt. in British Columbia collections, but this name has been restricted to an Arizona race of albifasciata, and the name victoria has been given to the Vancouver Island form; the types being three males and two females from Victoria. Hydriomena exculpata tribulata B. & McD. This is a grey form of exrculpata, a new species described from Ketchikan, Alaska. The localities given for the form tribulata are Oregon, Colorado, and Kaslo, B.C. Hydriomena perfracta exasperata B. & McD. The race erasperata was described from two specimens taken by the late Rey. G. W. Taylor, one at Departure Bay, near Nanaimo, and the other at Wellington. It is evidently very rare. One male specimen was taken by the writer at Victoria on May 19th, 1914. Hydriomena renunciata columbiata form pernigrata B. & McD. The types of this form came from Glacier National Park, Montana; the paratypes, one male and one female, from Skagit Basin, B.C.; and one male from Stikine River, B.C. The latter probably collected by Theodore Bryant, of Ladysmith, who collected in that district when with a survey party. Hydriomena edenata grandis B. & McD. The racial name of grandis has been given to our Vancouver Island form, which has been previously known as edenata Swett. Typical edenata, which was described from Eden Valley, Monterey County, Cal., is very much smaller than the one we get here and is shaded with a warm brown, while our form is tinged with green. The genus Xanthorie, which contains several distinct groups of species, has been badly mixed up in the past, and much misidentification of species has ensued. As it was also felt that there were several species, or at least good varieties, going under the same name, the writer collected extensively in this genus for several years, with the result that Mr. L. W. Swett, the well-known geometridist, described several new forms of the defensaria group, which were illustrated in the Annual Report of the Provincial-Museum for the year 1915, Plate VII., Figs. 5 to 12. In the pontiaria-fossaria group Mr. Swett has just described the following three new species in the Can. Ent., Vol. 50, No. 1, p. 17 et seqg.:— Xanthorhe macdunnoughi Swett. This occurs all over the southern portion of Vancouver Island, but it is not common by any means. The types are from specimens taken by the writer at Victoria. Paratypes of each sex have been placed in the Museum collection. Xanthorhe atlinensis Swett. This species was taken at Atlin by E. M. Anderson in 1914, and was described from eight specimens, all male. It is close to fossaria Taylor, which was described from Mount Cheam. Paratypes are in the Museum collection. Xanthorhe blackmorei Swett. Described from material taken by the writer at Goldstream and Victoria. This species is very distinct, as in most cases the blackish median band becomes obsolescent below the median vein. A male paratype has been placed in the Museum collection. Illustrations of these new species will be found in an accompanying plate. BOTANY. During the season of 1917 there haye been numerous accessions to the Herbarium of the Provincial Museum, notably the presentation of a large collection of plants of Vancouver Island, O 16 Proyinctan Museum Reporv. collected, mounted, and named by Professor John Macoun since he has resided at Sidney, B.C. together with a collection of Musci and Lichens made by him on Vancouyer Island and a portion of the Mainland of this Province. This collection, made and named by so eminent a botanist, will be a valuable acquisition as a source of reference in the identity and for determination of other specimens. Mr. W. B. Anderson, of Victoria, has contributed a large number of plants, collected in his — leisure hours, from the Interior, which cover many localities, from Fort George to Penticton and extending through West Kootenay. This collection will undoubtedly add much new material to the Herbarium, especially as regards distribution. The Fort George specimens cover a new area not hitherto represented in the collection. A few of the plants from the various localities mentioned are as follows :— Chenopodium botrys. Physostegia parviflora. Axyris amarantoides. Orthocarpus luteus. Calochortus elegans. Potentilla flabelliformis. Melampyrum lineare. Galeopsis tetrahit. Anemone virginiana. Crepis tectorum. Chrysothamnus nauseosus. Echium vulgare. Chimaphila menziesii. ; Hieracium scouleri var. eynoglossoides. Antennaria rosea. - Erigeron acris var. drebachiensis. Anthriscus sativa. Senecio balsamite var. thomsoniensis. Gilia aggregata. Among these Axryris amarantoides L. and Crepis tectorum L., introduced plants, appear to be additions to the flora of British Columbia. Mr. W. A. Newcombe has also donated a representative collection made in the vicinity of Quesnel Lake and a portion of the Chilcotin country during the seasons of 1916 -and 1917; amongst the rarer species and some not previously reported from these regions are the following :— . CHILCOTIN, 1916. Stephanomeria minor. Solidago decumbens. Calochortus macrocarpus. Mentzalia levicaulis. = QUESNEL LAKE, 1917. Bpipactis repens var. ophioides. E Alnus tenuifolia. Habenaria orbiculata. ; Mitella nuda. ; Parnassia palustris. Ribes glandulosum. i Rubus strigosus. ° Ribes oxyacanthoides. Spiraa menziesii. Vaccinium canadense. Dracocephalum parviflorwmn. Hieracium umbellatum. Stephanomeria minor. Senecio eremophilus. In this as in Mr. Anderson's collection there are a number of doubtful specimens, which have been forwarded to Mr. J. M. Macoun, Chief of the Division of Biology, Geological Survey, Ottawa, and Professor J. Kk. Henry, of the University of British Columbia, for comparison with authenticated specimens and identification, and until such time as this work has been completed no adequate list can be chronicled. ‘ Specimens of two additions to the flora of Vancouver Island, Arnica cordifolia and Roman- sofia unalaschensis, collected by Dr. C. FE. Newcombe, of Victoria, have been donated by him to the collection in the Herbarium. = On June 16th, 17th, and 18th, Mr. F. Kermode, Director, accompanied by Dr. F. C. Newcombe, of Victoria, made a small collection of the more uncommon plants growing around Bella Coola; the following, which are usually plants growing at much higher altitude, were collected on the river-bottom, a little above sea-level :— Epilobium tatifoliwm. Pentstemon diffusus. Mimutlus lerwisii. : In the matter of distribution the following interesting species were collected in close proximity to salt water :— Trautvetteria grandis. Corydalis sempervirens. Ranunculus orthorynchus var. platyphyllus. Aralia nudicaulis. Hemieva ranunculifolia. a) Senecio balsamite var. thomsoniensis. <2 Proyrnctan Museum Reporv. ORANG ae The Director and his assistant made a small collection on August 1st and 2nd of the more interesting plants of Mount Arrowsmith, undoubtedly one of the richest floral fields of Vancouver _ Island. The following specimens were collected, which appear to be additions to the flora of ¥Yaneouver Island not hitherto recorded :— . Oxryria digyna. Draba nivalis. -Lewisia pygmed. Silene acaulis. Sacifrage lyatlii. Osmorrhiza purpured. Antennaria rosea. Agoseris glauca. Other species of interest were :— Lewisia columbiana. Ranunculus eschscholtzii. Erysimum elatum. Saxifraga bronchialis. Saxifraga punctata. . Saxifraga tolmiei. Potentilla dissecta var. glaucophylla. Potentilla villosa. Lomatium martindalei yar. augustatum. Epilobiuwm anagallidifolium. Cladothamnus pyroleflorus. Dodecatheon pauciflorwn. Mimulus alpinus. - Phyllodoce glandulifilorus. Pedicularis ornithoryncha. i Arnica latifolia. Arnica amplexicaulis. Senecio triangularis. A few plants were also collected in the vicinity of Long Beach, on the west coast of _ Vaneouyer Island, the latter part of September, including :— ; Polypodium scouleri. Botrychium silaifolium. Carex macrocephala. Hydastylus brachypus. Listera caurina. Empetrum nigrum. Gentiana douglasianda. Franseria bipinnatifida. Stachys ciliata var. pubens. A large number of specimens haye been mounted by Miss H. J. Hendry, now in charge of =< the office of the Museum, and placed in the collection of the Herbarium; a card-index has been _ completed of the mounted specimens, and the whole have been arranged in their systematic _ order of families, according to the check-list of the plants of Gray’s Manual. 7 A record has also been madé of all duplicates and unmounted material, and the same placed in genus-covers and arranged in the same systematic order. The nucleus of the Herbarium, the original collection loaned by the Department of Agricul- 2 ture, and made by Mr. J. R. Anderson at the time he was Deputy Minister of Agriculture, has been rearranged and placed in the accepted order; this collection still remains in its original _ genus-coyers and is in an excellent state of preservation, due to the great care Mr. Anderson From an educational standpoint the collection now in the Herbarium is available to teachers and other students of botany, and should prove a great facility to them for comparison in identifying any plants they do not know. A number of the latest and most authentic books on our flora are also at hand for reference; these will be found in the office of the Museum.
