In conclusion, we are all anxious to return for further collecting in this region. True, the roads leave much to be desired, and the continual cloudy weather or drizzle ("most unusual", according to some; "quite typical", according to others!) proved most aggravating. But the scenery, the plant and animal life, and the long daylight hours make this a wonderful vacation country—particularly for the bug-collecting entomologist!
