292 THE CANADIAN ENTOMOLOGIST. 



Mr. E. F. Heath, who lives near Cartwright, in Southern Manitoba — 

 a much better country than this, I believe, for the entomologist — could, I 

 feel sure, supplement these records. 



Most of the Bombycidae have been submitted to Dr. H. G. Dyar, 

 to whom I am under special obligations for his generosity in returning 

 nearly everything sent to him (a large proportion being " uniques"). 

 The Sesiidre were very kindly determined for me by Mr. Beutenmiiller, 

 through Dr. Dyar. I have also received welcome assistance from both Dr. 

 James Fletcher and the Rev. C. J. S. Bethune. 



Hemaris thysbe, Fabr., var. ruficaudis, Kirby. — In 1894 (June 17th) 

 several were seen hovering over the blossoms of the Wild Pea, but only 

 one was secured. Later a number were noticed (dead) in the windows 

 of some empty shops. 



Met with again this season. 



Hemaris tenuis, Grt. — On April 19th (1897) a pupa was found in 

 the soil under a log along the railway line at Brandon. The moth 

 evolved on May i8th. 



Deilephila gallii, Rati., var. chamienerii, Harr. — In the collection 

 of Mr. H. W. O. Boger, of Brandon. 



Deilephila lineata, Fabr. — Mr. Boger reported this mo'th as being 

 very abundant, on the wing, on August 25th (1896), in a market garden 

 at Brandon, in the evening, as many as 20 or 30 being visible at the same 

 time. It occurred here about the same date. On August 5th (1894), quite 

 early in the afternoon, and in the bright sunshine, I noticed a Deilephila 

 on the wing over some thistles on the prairie, but I failed to net it. 



Sphinx drupiferarum, 6". &^ A. — At Brandon (1897), by Mr. Boger. 



Sphinx luscitiosa, Cram. — On July ist (1895) I found a $ at rest 

 under the loose bark of a fence post, and on June nth (1896) a fresh ^ 

 was found " sitting" on a sidewalk in the heart of the city. 



Sphinx chersis, Hbn. — July, one in a shop window, also at Brandon,
