NOCTUIDAE OF WEBSTER. N. H, 



BY CHAKLKS F. GOODHUE. 



The town of Webster is in central Xew Hampshire, abou 

 sixteen miles northwest of Concord, the capital of the State. 

 The country is hilly and well wooded, with but very little low 

 meadow, land . We have collected here every year, more or less . 

 for twenty years, beginning early in the season and only stop 

 ping with cold weather late in the fall. We do not mean tha- 

 we have collected every day or even every week, but such time 

 as we could spare from the usual work which falls to the lot o 

 a Xew Hampshire farmer. We usually have a small cyanidt 

 pot in our pocket most of the time from March until Novem 

 bcr. and by this means we get many a rare thing that woul< 

 not otherwise have been found. We wish to extend our 

 thanks 1o Prof. . I. B. Smith in particular for the naming o 

 many species unknown l< us and for time spent in verifying ; 

 large number of our more common species ; also for man\ 

 other favors best known to those interested. 



No species are included in the following list that have no; 

 been taken here either by us <r that we know personally !<
