31. C. fulvistigma Hine. 



One 2 specimen, Lakehurst, July 29, collected by Wm. T. 

 Davis. 



32. C. brunneus Hine. 



One 9 specimen. Cape May, Aug. 9, 1904; Newark, Salt 

 Meadows, both sexes, July, A. J. Weidt. 



33. C. flavidus Wiedemann. 



A common species in June, July and August. This species 

 is very variable in size, color and wing-maculation. See 

 Figures 33 a, b and c. In looking over a large series I find 

 that specimens from the salt marshes along the Atlantic coast 

 also from the Delaware River front are larger, their wings 

 have a smoky tinge all over, the brown design is rather pale, 

 and the crossband wider (Fig. 333), in a measure resembling 

 bninncns. Specimens from inland localities are, as a rule, 

 smaller, with clear wings and dark brown maculation (Fig. 

 33 b and c), but there seems to be no character strong or con- 

 stant enough to separate these two forms specifically. 



Notes on some Species of Geometrids. 



By JOHN A. GROSSBECK, New Brunswick, N. J. 

 The notes forming the present paper have been in the hands 

 of the writer since early in 1906, and are primarily the result 

 of Dr. Dyar's article in the Proc. Ent. Soc. Wash., Vol. VI, 

 p. 222, under the heading "A Few Notes on the Hulst Col- 

 lection." In going carefully over the Geometrid portion of the 

 Doctor's paper, I find that he has unfortunately relegated 

 several of Hulst's species to the synonymy erroneously. Two 

 of his conclusions have already been questioned,* and a> a 

 result, it was believed that certain specimens examined by 

 Dr. Dyar purporting to be types were not types at all. Such 

 other notes as have suggested themselves in the course of this 

 study have been added.
