164 THE CANADIAN ENTOMOLGIST. 



not identified \>y Smith''! Mamestra grandis did dul\' both for 

 its own self, and for legitima. Four specimens stood under Mame- 

 slra inciirva, two of them being larissa and two vicina. Cleoceris 

 curvifascia, was Ililliaal gens, which also stood correctly. Orlhosia 

 inops and Erastria panatela stood together as Tapinostola variatta, 

 and inops, another rather widely scattered species, stood correctly 

 named as well. One Ciicullia inter media stood as Ran com albi- 

 cinerea, of which species two specimens stood together in the 

 collection under no name. 



I ha\e mentioned onh- a few of the principal mixtures and 

 misidentihcations. I shall refer to others amongst the list of species 

 to follow . These I think will serve to show^ that records published 

 by Heath must be treated as wholly unreliable. They may also 

 in some instances serve as a clue as to what species may have 

 been intended b>- some of his published names. But, whilst that 

 should l)e thorough>- borne in mind, the fact must not be lost 

 sight of that the late Mr. Heath did a \'ery great deal for 

 western entomology, and his collection, which he spent so man>' 

 years in accumulating, and which gave him so much pleasure in 

 life, forms a \ery \alual)le basis on which Manitoba students 

 may found a list of species occurring in that province. Would 

 that such workers were more numerous. 



The following list comprises only those species which are 

 believed to ha\e been taken by Heath at Cartwright. The order 

 and nomenclature followed is, with certain necessary exceptions, 

 that of Smith's 1903 Check List. In some instances amongst the 

 Noctuida?, w here the generic names adopted by Sir George Hamp- 

 son are at least fairly w'ell known changes, \ use those, adding the 

 older ones in brackets. The time will probabh- not be long before 

 a new' general Check List will be published, in which the order 

 and genera used by Hampson will be largely adopted.
