THE INSECT FAUNA OF THE SUDBURY DISTRICT, ONTARIO
Prior to the advent of the Canadian Pacific Railway in the year 1883, this district was entirely unsettled, being, in fact, a terra incognita to all except servants of the Hudson Bay Co., officials of the Geological Survey, and Provincial Government surveyors. But it had been devastated to a large e...
