Some Marine Insects of the Pacific Coast of Canada.*

Abstract

The present paper deals with the strictly inter-tidal, rock-dwelling insects found in the neighborhood of the Biological Station in Departure Bay, Nanaimo, Vancouver Island, during the summer of 1927. Collections made in the late summer at Vancouver, Prince Rupert, and Ucluelet on the West Coast of Vancouver Island, revealed many of the forms already known but no new ones. The species discussed may therefore be regarded as representative of the whole coast, although further investigations are sure to prove the list incomplete.
