- Variations. — During the present year (1916) the insect has 

 again been destructive in Newfoundland, and Mr. Boyle has for- 

 warded to us specimens of the larvae from which additional moths 

 have been reared. The description of the type given above answers 

 closely to all of the specimens reared (8) with the exception of 

 two specimens which differ in having each fore-wing crossed with 

 two irregular whitish bands, in addition to which there is a basal 

 and an apical patch of the same colour. These specimens are 

 labelled metatypes A and B respectively in the collection of the 

 Entomological Branch. The bands and patches on the fore-wings 

 of metatype A arc conspicuously whitish, those on B being more 

 of a sordid white.

Hadena sp. A single specimen without date, broken and 

 verdigrised, standing as didonea Sm., I believe to be of an unde- 

 scribed species closely allied to indirecta Grt., and use a manuscript 

 name for it in my private notes. A specirhen of it stood wrongly 

 under didonea in Smith's own collection. I have seen some half 

 dozen specimens from widely separate localities.
