Abstract
The beetles enumerated below were all taken within a circle of five miles' radius from Massett, on the Northern Shore of Graham Island—the most northerly of the Queen Charlotte group. This area, though small, is considerably diversified, and favourable to coleopterous life. The island here is flat, and covered with a forest of spruce and hemlock, with a sprinkling of alder. The soil is sandy, and for the most part dry. The coastline includes a stretch of level sand reached only by the highest tides, and strewn with driftwood; a protected pebbly beach and a tract of rough stones, also covered by the high tides. The sandy beach I find most productive, many even inland insects appearing to fall on the loose sand, and, being unable to rise, crawl for shelter under the driftwood. Hills and fresh-water streams (of any size) are absent, and I quite expect these situations, which occur in other parts of the island, to yield, when examined, several additional species.
