picked out a set of seven males which show a gradual variation 

 from having but a single spot on each wing to having very large 

 black spots on the wings. Leucarctia acrea; males fairly com- 

 mon; took but one female. Spilosoma virginica, Hyphantria 

 textor, Euchtztes collaris, two pairs; Halisidota caryce. I took a 

 number of these, one pair only, having a spot on the secondaries, 

 Orgyia leucosigma. One of my specimens Mr. Edwards says is 

 the largest that he has ever seen. It measures one and a half 

 inches. Ap.atelodes torrefacta, one male; Datana angusi, one 

 male; Datana intergerrima, Datana perspicua, five pairs; Nadata 

 gibbosa, five males. In one the silver spots on primaries are 

 almost invisible. Lophodontaferruginea, two males, one having 

 secondaries all gray. Edema albifrons, one pair; Seirodonta 

 bilineata, one pair; Coelodasys unicornis, one pair; Coelodasys 

 9 ; one male only. Several well known collectors have 

 failed to identify this. Janassa lignicolor, one male; a beautiful 

 specimen, Heterocampa unicohr; a beautiful pair of this which 

 I believe is difficult to take perfect. The male was taken in May 

 and the female in last week of July. Centra borealis, one male; 

 Centra occidentalis, one male; Centra cinerea one pair; Actias 

 lima, six males; Philosamia cynthia, Callosamia promethea, Cal- 

 losamia angidifera, two females; Platysamia cecropia, Hyper- 

 chiria io, thirty males. I took many beautiful varieties of this 

 one the primaries almost all cream color, another heavily shaded 

 with black. Eacles imperialis, thirty males and three females. 

 Citheronia regalis, two pairs; Dryocampa rubicunda, four males. 

 Clisiocampa americana, Artace pitnctistriga, four males; Cossns 

 centerensis, one male. I think this is the first reported from this 

 locality. Prionoxystus robin<z, three females.
