Clje Canabian Entomologist 



Yol. II. TOKQNTO, AUGUST 31, 1870. No. 9. 



APOLOGETIC. 



The Editor begs that the readers of the Canadian Entomologist will 

 accept his apologies for the delay that has taken place in the issue of the 

 present number. Since the date of the last number, he has made a complete 

 change of occupation and residence, and his time has been so much encroached 

 upon in consequence that it has been quite impossible for him to superintend 

 the publication of this number until the present late date. For some years 

 past he has been in charge of a large rural parish, the manifold duties of 

 which gradually increased to such an extent as to leave him very little 

 leisure for Entomological work ; recently, however, he was offered, and, after 

 some consideration, accepted the Head Mastership of the Trinity College 

 School at Port Hope-— a preparatory institution to the Church of England 

 University at Toronto. During the last few weeks his time, as can readily 

 be imagined, has been entirely engrossed with the arrangment of matters in 

 his late parish, and the toil and trouble of removal. He has ventured to 

 make this personal explanation in order that the reader may understand and 

 excuse the long delay incurred in the issue of this number — a delay which, 

 he trusts, will not soon recur. 



His address is now : " The Rev. C. J. S. Bethune, Trinity College 

 School, Port Hope, Out" Exchanges will please address : " Canadian 

 Entomologist, Port Hope, Ont." 



ACCENTUATED LIST OF CANADIAN LEPIDOPTERA, 



BY E. B. REED, LONDON, ONTARIO. 



This List is compiled on the same principle as the Oxford and Cambridge 

 Accentuated List of British Lepidoptera, of which valuable little book we 

 have made free use. A quotation from its preface well explains our object: 



" The want of uniformity in the pronunciation of scientific names, and 

 the consequent difficulty of communication between the less educated, but 

 often more practical men of science, is an admitted evil. To afford a remedy 

 so far as Lepidopterology is concerned, and for the especial use and benefit 

 of those to whom circumstances have denied the advantage of a classical
