204 THE CANADIAN ENTOMOLOGIST. 



on July yth and 8th, and a number were boxed. A day or two later 

 during or after a journey to Brandon, most of them escaped from my jar, 

 These larvae were small " woolly-bears," hairs dark brown. I think they 

 were full-grown. Dr. Dyar states that the larva of this moth has never 

 been described, so I regret not having made some notes on its appearance. 

 A pair, having twice the expanse and somewhat lighter secondaries, were 

 captured on the wing at dusk, on an open hillside at Brandon, on Aug. 

 27th this year.
