THE CANADIAN ENTOMOLOGIST. 297 



Actias Luna, Linn. — The Rev. W. Barman, of this city, reports 

 the capture of a specimen in Ehii Park, and last season in the same 

 place I picked up a cocoon, most likely belonging to this species ; it 

 contained the decayed remains of the larva. 



Telea polyphemus. Cram. — Winnipeg and Brandon, at light in June. 



Anisota virginiensis. Dm. — Recorded from Miami, Man,, by Dr. 

 Fletcher. The larva- causing damage to oak trees. 



Clisiocampa fragilis, Stretch. — July loth (1896) and later at Bran- 

 don ; several at light and on fences. Also this season at Winnipeg, at 

 light, in July. 



Clisiocampa americana,Zr^rr. — A moth evolved on July 15th (1896) 

 from full-grown larva taken on June 20th. Several at light this season in 



July.' 



Clisiocampa disstria, Hbn. — One, at light, towards end of July. 



Phyllodesma americana, Harr. (No. 14 14 Smith's List) — One, at 

 light, on July ist. 



Hepialus argenteomaculatus, Harr. — This moth appeared to be 

 abundant here in 1S95. I took specimens on the wing in my garden 

 about dusk on July nth, 15th and 17th ; they were all hovering (a most 

 peculiar flight ihey have) over some high weeds. Specimens were taken 

 at rest on July i3'th and June 30th (1896). On the first mentioned 

 occasion the moth was holding on to a tall stalk of grass within a yard 

 or so of a railway track. 



This is a very variable insect, no two of those captured agreeing in 

 colour or markings. Mr. Marmont has one, taken at Rounthwaite, which is 

 nearly white. The records of captures at light, where the year is not 

 given, are all for 1897.

The readers of this magazine will deeply sympathize with Professor 

 H. F. WicKHAM, of the State University of Iowa, who has found himself 

 compelled, in consequence of serious trouble with his eyes, to give up 

 the study of Entomology. He is now disposing of his splendid collec- 

 tion of North American Coleoptera. This is a rare opportunity for 

 Entomologists to complete their representatives of various families of 

 beetles. That his eyes may ere long be restored to their normal con- 

 dition is the earnest wish of all his friends.
