Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Report of the Canadian Arctic Expedition, 1913-18, Vol. 3: Insects: Introduction and List of New Genera and Species Collected by the Expedition
As soon as possible after the return of the expedition, the collections of insects were turned over to the late Dr. C. Gordon Hewitt, Dominion Entom ologist and Consulting Zoologist of the Department of Agriculture and Honorary Curator of the National Collection of Insects. He immediately made arrange ments to have the specimens sent to the twenty-four specialists who have had a share in the preparation of this volume. Much credit is due to the energy of Dr. Hewitt in pushing the completion of the reports and for careful attention to their form and accuracy. After the death of Dr. Hewitt, Mr. Arthur Gibson, F his successor as Dominion Entomologist, has aided much in bringing the work to a close. The index to Volume III was in a large part prepared by Mr. R. P. Gorham, Assistant Entomologist in the Entomological Branch of the Department of Agriculture.
