Considerably paler than pleojiectusa, with more of a yellowish tinge. 

 The ordinary markings showing dark against the pale ground, while in the 

 old species the reverse is the case. The t. a. line i)resents more of an 

 inward and the t. p. line more of an outward curve, and the ordinary spots 

 are much less clearly defined. The basal half-line not in evidence, while 

 the s. t. is only marked by the contrast between the slightly darker sub- 

 terminal space vvith the lighter terminal. The terminal space is somewhat 

 shaded with black scales outwardly, while the fringe and the costa fof a 

 short distance from apex has a quite pronounced reddish tint. The 

 orbicular has a slight pointed projection outward, corresponding to a 

 similar inward projection of the reniform. The mesial band of hind is 

 dark and followed by a slightly darker shade than the ground colour. 

 Beneath there is 2 well-marked common mesial band. There is, however, 

 no trace of the ordinary spots as in p/eonectusn.

OBITUARY. 



Tertia Silvia Cruickshank, wife of Charles Stevenson, Secretary- 

 Treasurer of the Mount Royal Entomological Club, Montreal, died on the 

 8th April, after a few days' illness. She was born in Scotland on the 26th 

 December, 1866, and came to Canada in 1892, and was married on the 

 day of her arrival, 31st May. 



She was an enthusiastic naturalist from her childhood, and made pets 

 of all kinds of animals. Soon after her marriage, her husband took up his 

 school-boy hobby of collecting insects, in which she joined him. In the 

 summer months she spent what time she could spare from her domestic 



duties in entomological work and was a very successful collector. 



She has left two children, Kenneth Ruttan, aged 11, and Ivy Silvia, 

 aged 8, both of whom show promise of becoming entomologists. 



The Montreal Brancli of the ^Entomological Society of Ontario and 

 the Mount Royal Entomological Club were well represented at her 

 funeral. The former showed tlieir sympathy by a wreath and the latter 

 by a floral anchor. All the members of the Society unite in very deep 

 sympathy with Mr. Stevenson and his children in their sad bereavement. 



Mailed May 5th 1905.
