Type locality, geographic range/regional distribution, and biology are given for each species. The book is generously illustrated with full-page drawings of adults in addition to line drawings of diagnostic characters."

Regions covered include Alaska, Yukon, Western Northwest Territories, Alberta, and British Columbia.

Snow, F.H. (1906) Some results of the University of Kansas entomological expeditions to Galveston and Brownsville, Texas, in 1904 and 1905. Transactions of the Kansas Academy of Science, 20: 136-154.

The writer conducted two entomological expeditions to Texas for the museum of the University of Kansas in the years 1904 and 1905. Each of these expeditions had Brownsville, the extreme southern point of the state, as its objective point, but on account of the wretched connections with the one lone steamer between Galveston and our destination, as well as the limited time at our disposal, we spent the three weeks of our first stay, in May, at Galveston, but succeeded in reaching our original destination by rail in 1905, by the new Gulf Coast line.
