position to follow them up, so that when Mr. Grote's " New Check List " 

 appeared, which I have followed in this, I found that several of my old 

 names had disappeared altogether, and others had been rendered doubtful. 



The Rev. Geo. D. Hulst, of Brooklyn, N. Y., opened communication 

 with me last fall, with a view to exchange ; he also at the same time kindly 

 offered to name anything he could for me. Gladly availing myself of the 

 services of so competent an authority, I sent to him all that I considered 

 doubtful in my collection, as well as the new and unnamed material I had 

 on hand. The result was the correction of several errors, as well as the 

 addition of new species to my Hst. Nos. i and 2 are old specimens. No. 

 5, one specimen taken last summer. No. 6, quite common here. No. 8, 

 one specimen, last summer's capture. No. 11 — my Cymatophoras were 

 badly mixed, and I have some single specimens that yet want determining. 

 No. 12, quite a common insect here, but which I had the pleasure of add- 

 ing to Mr. Hulst's collection, where it was wanting. No. 15, a single 

 specimen; 16 a single specimen I have had for years, and have not met 

 with another, and have only seen one in any other collection. Mr. Hulst 

 gives it as Cidaria lunigera^a, var. dispunctaria Pack. Of the other 

 numbers, I have received the names from different sources in recent years. 



Mr. Hulst also named some that are new to me, but already in the 

 Canadian List. Last summer is generally acknowledged to have been 

 poor in Lepidoptera, yet I was quite fortunate in obtaining new things in 

 the Geometridae, although so many of them were but single specimens of 

 a kind.
