Reprinted from Bulletin of the Natural. History Society of New Brunswick, No. XVII, 1899. SAINT JOHN, N. B., CANADA. (ReprinUHl from Bulletin of the Natural HiNtory Society of New Brunnwlok, No. XVII, 18»».) AKTICLIC IV' THE BUTTERFLIKS OF NEW BlU NHWICK. ^^ Hy Wimja.m McIsToHir. (Head DeuciiilterHtli, 181)8.) This list (if New Brunswick ButteiHies can only Iw considered a preliminary one, as very little collecting has been done in this province. There can lie no doubt that with a more extended knowledge of the insect life of New Brunswick this list will be found incomplete. Tn the past collections have Injen made V»y officers of the aimy and navy, but we have no detailed record of their captures. Among the early collectors whose? sp«!cimens have remained in the province the following are perhaps worthy of mention. A collection of Lepidoptera captured on tlu; Ketchum estate, Fredericton, by Capt. Mo(Kly, A. D. C. to Governor (Jordon. This collection is in the University of New Brunswick at Fredericton. A collection of miscellaneous insects taken in the vicinity of St. Jolm, by Mrs, C. E. Heustis. Mrs. Heustis was for a numlier of years a contributor to the Canadian Entomofni/ixf, and may l)e con- sidered the pioneei- entomologist of the Natural History Society of New Brunswick. A collection of miscellaneous insects captured in St. John County, by Mr. H. E. Goold. This collection contains a numl)er of very interesting species, A number of insects, principally Coleoptera and fjepidoptera, col- lected in Kings County, N. B., by Mr. Gibson Williamson, of Oak Point. These three collections are in the museum of the Natural History Society of New Jirunswick. At the present time these combined col- lections contain less than a thousand specimens, and so represent but a fraction of the species indigenous to this section of Eastern Canada. During the past two years nuicli interest has been evinced in this branch of nature study, and duiing the present year a numl>er of col- le<;)i*rs have been working, over .'5,500 specimens having been taken THE DUTTRRPLIB8 OF NRW BRUNSWICK. no in the vicinity of 8t. John and Fiedericton during tlie pant Henson. It is to he hoped that thi8 interest will continue, so that in the near future something may be added to the meagre knowledge of the insect life of New Brunswick. The remarks on the species in this list are Imsed mainly on the writer's personal observations during the p»st three years. No doubt upon more extended research not only will many addi- tional species l)ecome known, but a numl>er of tho^e considered not common will be found to be more abundant in other localities. In the preparation of this list I am indebted to Dr. James Fletcher for the identification of doubtful species, and to Miss Edith Darling for a list of species found at Sussex, and to Mr. (leo. W. Bailey for a list of Fredericton butterflies with notes, and also for procuring a list of species taken by Mr. U. McL. Vanwart. Mr. Bailey also sent me a catalogue of Capt. MocKJy's collection. From the above lists aU references to Sussex and Fredericton species have been taken. I have followed Rev. C. J. S. Bethune ("The Butterflies of the Eastern Provinces of Canada") in adding in brackets "Mr. Scudder's name for the species whenever it diflTers from the name employed." i s LEPIDOPTERA.
