The Scottish Naturalist. 



Euchelia Jacobceoi has been taken here, but I believe it was 

 introduced, and I think has now disappeared. 



Bo?tibyx rubi. — Locally common, at an elevation of about 

 600 feet. Mr. Herd is very successful in rearing this insect, 

 his plan being to expose the larvae to their natural climate in 

 the open air through the winter. 



Podcilocampa populi. — Not common. I reared a female last 

 year, and kept her for a night in my study, to allow of her 

 wings being properly dry, as I had not got a specimen for my 

 cabinet. Curiously enough, the only other specimen I have (a 

 male), I found outside the window frame next morning. He 

 surely cannot have discovered that there was a lady inside the 

 room, shut up in a box !

NOCTU^. 



Thyatira batis. — Fairly common at sugar. 1 have observed 

 more specimens at sugar after midnight than earUer. 



Cymatophora duplaris. — Not uncommon among birch in 

 certain localities, up to 600 feet. Varies a good deal in the 

 shade and intensity of coloration. In some specimens the 

 light-grey ground colour prevails, in others it is almost com. 

 pletely obscured by the dark-stone colour, of which the central
