Abstract

The faunæ of high altitudes always posses a peculiar interest by virtue of the light they throw on problems of geographical distribution, and especially the distribution in ancient times of what is now a strictly Arctic and Alpine fauna. For this reason, the following lists of species, fragmentary as they are, may be of some value as a contribution to our knowledge of the Alpine fauna of Colorado, and for comparison with Arctic and Alpine faunæ in general.
