During late July and August, 1935, Mr. W. J. Brown made extensive insect collections at Lake Harbour, a trading post on the southern coast of Baffin Island. The following is a report on the Braconidae taken by Mr. Brown. Specimens of this family were comparatively rare and only six species were encountered. Two of these are represented by single males and cannot be positively identified at present. The material is deposited in the Canadian National collection; duplicate paratypes of new species are deposited in the United States National Museum.
