made from atrociously poor specimens and can scarcely be 

 recognized, his figure 327a (Plate XXVIII) is, in the light of 

 our previous remarks, female leda, not male ines; 32/b might 

 be anything, but is probably male leda, and 32/c is the under 

 side of le da, certainly not of incs. 



The amount of red in the bands and spots of under side of 

 ines is variable and of no specific value ; in typical specimens 

 the transverse lines show very little color and the anal spots 

 are small and dark ; other specimens examined showed a con- 

 siderable amount of orange-red both in bands and spots, seldom 

 however attaining the bright color which is almost invariably 

 present in leda. 



Of the two forms, ines appears to be much the rarer, not 

 more than 20 per cent, of the specimens examined being refer- 

 able to this species; we possess it from the Huachuca Mts., 

 Chiricahua Mts. and Prescott, Arizona, this latter being the 

 typical locality ; leda we have from the same localities, and it 

 apparently extends into Southern California, although it has 

 been recorded there under the name of incs ( Wright, Jour. 

 N. Y. Ent. Soc., XVI, 162). 



We should be glad if some of our San Diego collectors 

 would give us the privilege of examining the California speci- 

 mens, with a view to correct identification, as we have no Cali- 

 fornia material at hand.

On the evening of May 10, 1911, a fresh female of Sabit- 

 lodcs furciferata Pack, was taken at light and about 25 ova 

 obtained the same night before killing the specimen. The larvae 

 hatched in eight days and fed up well on maple, being full 

 grown about the third week in June. At this stage, possibly on 

 account of the excessive heat, the majority suddenly died ;
