WASHINGTON. By ANNIE TRUMBULL SLOSSON. In 1874, Mr. E. P. Austin (Proc. Bost. S.oc. Nat. Hist. vol. xvi, p. 265) published his " Catalogue of the Coleoptera of Mt. Washington, N. H., with descriptions of new species by }. L. LeConte, M.D." In 1877, Mr. F. Gardiner, Jr., published in "Psyche" (vol. ii, p. 211) a list of additional species taken by himself and Mr. W. Schaus, Jr., in July, 1877. I n neither of these catalogues do the authors limit themselves strictly to insects collected in the alpine region proper, though in the latter list nearly all were taken there. Mr. Austin's camp was situated ''a short distance below the Half-way House," about 3900 feet altitude, and nearly all of his collecting was done near that place. He includes, also, he says, Coleoptera taken by Mr. S. H. Scudder "near the foot of the mountain," others gathered by Mr. Samuel Henshaw, locality not given, and some from a list of general White Mountain sprcies by Mr. G. D. Smith, as far as I can discover comparatively !-w of the insects named in this catalogue were taken on the summit
