4 ENTOMOLOGICAL NEWS. [Jan., '92 This work had a very considerable sale and evinces pains-taking and careful work in compiling the literature. It shows remarkable knowledge of specific values and was the best work of the kind in this respect. Dr. Strecker had an accurate knowledge of entomological technic, and his example should not be lost. His collection would be a marvel to many in this respect. He had an interesting and striking personality, and was cordial, affable and full of anecdote. He was frequently visited by scientific men from this country and abroad, and his correspondence was immense. In his chosen field he ranked deservedly high. He has been criticised by some on account of his more than great desire to add to his collec-tion, but this may be ascribed to the fact that his love and enthusiasm for the study were intense and never flagged for a moment, and obscured every other thought. Two of his favor-ite expressions were that "It is human nature, you know, to think of ourselves first, last and always," and ' I never let the right hand know what the left hand does." Had it not been for such traits, many fine things in the collection would have been converted into Anthrenus ere this, and their value to the world would have been lost and scattered. He was a remarkable man, and will be greatly missed by his entomological friends. The final disposition of his won-derful collection is not at present known. Additional List of Insects Taken in Alpine Region of Mt. Washington. By ANNIE; TRUMBULL SLOSSON. I was unable to visit Mt. Washington in 1900 and my usual list of captures published annually since 1893 was omitted. But in this last summer, 1901, I again made two visits to the Summit, one in early July and one in August. The list of insects taken, and not included in former lists, follows : There are nearly 250 species, several of these and at least one genus new to science. I acknowledge gratefully the assistance, in the preparation
