During June, I also took in Wollaston three specimens of Ajnbly- 

 scirtes samoset, an exceedingly rare insect in this vicinity.

Mr. C. G. Anderson has contributed of his own capture, a fine 

 specimen, and the first in the Society's collection, of that interesting, and, 

 with me, rare moth Ferophora Melshehnerii^ Harris. I have never met 

 with it in my collecting. I have often found its cases and living larva 

 within when beating bushes, but never succeeded in rearing them. As 

 they pass the winter in the larval state, I could not keep them in a 

 dormant condition until their food plant, the oak, came out in spring. 

 It is a handsome insect, with finely-curved costal edges and hooked tips 

 to its front wings; bearing a strong resemblance, as Harris remarks, to 

 Bovibyx mori ; but more attractive in colour and ornamentation.
