fun." In the woods searching for Cato-larvae from June loth 

 to the middle of the month no imagoes were flushed, but a quest 

 for winged creatures on the 2Oth bagged several ilia. On the 

 following day, accompanied by Mr. George Dulany, the Senior 

 Author took two polygama, two ultronia, one illecta, two 

 innubens, four epione and twenty-eight fine ilia, five or six of 

 the latter being white spotted and one almost black. The day 

 was a close one, with a temperature of ninety degrees, and the 

 moths were at the bottoms of the trees. 



June 25th was a sultry day after several showers, and Catos 

 were fairly abundant. Lowell Pinkerton was the companion 

 on this trip. 



A "red-letter" day was June 28th, when Mr. Dulany and the 

 Senior Author added to the usual catches one each of coccin- 

 ata, dejecta and parta. 



The first palaeogama was seen on July 3rd. We sugared 

 on the night of the 4th, 'but failed to get many moths. The 

 first residua from bred chrysalids appeared on the 5th and 

 specimens of that species and the first neogama in the woods 

 on the 6th. This was the trip on which the best of the scin- 

 tillans were taken. The first retecta was from a bred chrysalis, 

 July nth. The first amica was taken on the I2th, along with 

 the first cara and many palaeogama and inniibens. 



George Dulany, Harold Davenport and the Senior Author 

 chased the "millers" on July I3th, taking many residua, neo- 

 gama, cara, palaeogama, innubens, scintillans, one retecta, two 

 grynea, a few polygama and ragged ilia and epione. 



The first habilis was a bred specimen on July i6th. In the 

 woods the first habilis was taken on the Kjth. At the same 

 time Mr. Dulany took the first cerogama, an imperfect junc- 

 tura and the first phalanga. 



On the 2 ist day of July, the Senior Author took the first 

 viduata, some fine retecta and the second cerogama. July 23rd 

 was a hot day with a heavy atmosphere and Catocalas were 

 abundant, high and low, but nothing new was added to the 

 series taken on the 21st except a snoviana.
