her specimens she found that one of them had crimson patches on the 

 wings. I have not seen any mention of the fact before in print, and as 

 the illusion is very complete, owing to the brilliancy and thoroughness of 

 the color, its true origin should be brought to notice, that others may not 

 be deceived thereby. A. R. Grote, Buffalo, N. Y. 



Dear Sir, — 



On page 117, of vol. vi of your journal, Mr. Grote kindly furnishes 

 ais with a list of all the species of Noctuidas common to this country and 

 Europe, known to him. The following may, very safely, be added : 



Tchthvura inclusa — Prob. I. inversa Packard. 

 Calocampa vetusta — New York, New Jersey, &c. 

 Graphiphora plecta Ochsen., N. Y., N. J. 

 Agrotis ypsilon ----- A. suffusa ; ypsiloii has priori ty. 

 Hadena chenopodii — New York, Michigan, New Jersey. 

 Calligenia miniata — New York. 

 Plusia urticce — Penn. 



Eitgo/iia magnaria — Either E. autumnalis or E. alniaria, [ forget 

 which. 



The last three I have received from Russia. 



It may also interest your readers to know that Danais archippus is 

 found in Queensland, without any variation that I can see. There is, 

 too, a very suspicious resemblance between some of the Labrador species 

 and those of Europe — for instance, between C. phicomenes and C. nastes ; 

 also between C. pelidne and our C. philodice. However, these require 

 further investigation.

Dear Sir,- — 



A note on p. 92, vol. vi, Can. Ent., states that Mr. Grote, of Soc- 

 Nat. Sci., Buffalo, received specimens of Coliadae taken by me in 1873, 

 on Anticosti. I wish this error corrected, as that gentleman had no 

 Colias from the collection made that year on the island.
