August,  J902 


Most  of  the  papers  left  by  the  late  Professor  Harvey  have 
been  published  in  the  Bnfomologica!  A^ezvs.  The  local  interest 
attaching  to  this  paper  made  its  publication  in  Maine  desirable. 
The  proof  has  been  read  by  L.  H.  Harvey,  of  the  class  of  1901.

Collectors  of  AJaiue  Odonatcs. 
Randall,  Dr.  John  Witt.  Earliest  collector  of  insects  in  ]Maine, 
1836-40.  Specimens  sent  to  Thomas  W.  Harris  and  credited 
to  Randall  in  his  MS  catalogue.  He  collected  coleoptera  mostly, 
but  also  insects  of  other  orders,  inchiding  a  few  Odonates.  He 
published  a  paper  ''Description  of  New  Coleoptera  from  Maine." 
(Bost.  Jour.  Nat.  Hist.  A'^ol.  2.) 

Packard,  Prof.  Alphens  Spring.  Began  gathering  insects  in 
Maine  when  only  16  years  old;  collected  during  his  college 
course  1858-61,  and  until  1864  at  Brunswick  mostly.  Also  at 
Orono  and  in  Northern  Maine  while  on  the  Geological  Survey, 
August  and  September  1861.  Collected  in  all  orders.  Uhler 
named  his  Odonates.  Specimens  went  first  to  the  Peabody 
Academy  of  Science  and  afterwards  to  the  Cambridge  Museum. 
Author  of  many  articles  bearing  upon  the  Insects  of  Maine. 

Morse,  Prof.  Bdzvard  Sylvester.  Collected  in  the  vicinity  of 
Portland,  Maine  from  1856-62  in  all  orders.  Specimens  went 
to  Museum  of  Comparative  Zoology,  Cambridge,  Mass. 

Smith,  Prof.  S.  I.  Made  large  collections  in  all  orders  at 
Norway,  Maine.  His  specimens  are  now  in  the  Museum  of 
Comparative  Zoology,  Cambridge,  Mass.  Prof.  Smith  is  the 
author  of  a  paper,  **Orthoptera  of  Maine."  published  in  the  Proc. 
Portland  Soc'y  Nat.  Hist.  Vol.  I. 

Agassis,  Prof.  Louis.  Is  credited  with  an  Odonate  collected 
at  Bethel,  Maine. 

Verrill,  Prof.  A.  B.  May  have  collected  insects  in  Elaine  at 
Norway  between  1858-61  ;  if  so,  they  probably  went  to  the  Cam- 
bridge Museum. 

Jones,  Thomas  K.,  Portland.  An  amateur  collector  particu- 
larly of  beetles.  He  donated  a  fine  collection  of  ]\Iaine  beetles 
to  the  Portland  Society  of  Natural  History.  The  present  secre- 
tary writes,  "They  have  gone  the  way  of  all  insect  collections 
not  having  daily  care."  Odonates  were  collected  somewhat  and 
the  specimens,  we  think,  went  to  the  Cambridge  Museum,  as 
Mr.  Jones  is  mentioned  by  Dr.  Hagen.     Mr.  Jones  is  a  sign

lection of  University  of  Maine,  as  reported  by  the  present  writer 
in  Entomological  News,  are  without  collector's  name,  but  we 
presume  were  collected  by  Prof.  Fernald  or  his  pupils.
