On July 13th, the best catches of the season were made. Mr. 

 Lowell Pinkerton took a fine phalanga, a splendid paulina and 

 an immense Z'iduata with a spread of wings of quite four 

 inches. The senior author captured two beautiful phalanga, 

 one habilis (the only one of the season), neogama, palaeo- 

 gama and residua. Numbers of cara and innubens were seen. 



On July 1 5th, the senior author and Mr. Harold Davenport 

 took one lachrymosa, normal form, one residua, a battered 

 grynea, a number of retecta and one parta, a female, the first 

 taken since June pth, 1906. A fine viduata was located but 

 defied capture. 



On July 22d, another phalanga was taken. 



On August 5th, accompanied by Mr. G. W. Dulany of Den- 

 ver, the senior author took eleven fine specimens of Catocala 

 luciana under a rickety wooden bridge over the South Fork of 

 the Platte River, eleven miles north of Denver. 



On the I2th of August, Mr. and Mrs. G. W. Dulany visited 

 the same bridge again and succeeded in taking sixteen or more 

 male luciana and several females from the latter of which 

 over one hundred eggs were obtained. These Denver trips 

 were the most exciting of the season and, although but one spe- 

 cies was taken, yielded the best net results. 



Another trip to "Catocala Hollow" on the iQth of August 

 gave us little but ragged cara, innubens, neogama, ilia, barring 

 five good specimens of C. vidua, all males and all under size, 

 no larger in fact than retecta. 



September 2d, the senior author captured four vidua, two 

 males and two females, one robinsoni, the only one seen dur- 

 ing the season, and one ragged piatrix. No other species of 

 Catocala were seen on this trip.
