and associated closely with mcerens and sotnia, which have 

 little in common with tessellata. 



E. olivia Morr., hitherto unrecognized in our lists under Feltia, the 

 authors have apparently examined, and consider it to be prior 

 to lacunosa. Morrison's species is still unknown to m.e, and 

 I have several times changed my opinion about the type of 

 lacunosa in the British Museum. But the other six names 

 here referred to as synonyms or varieties, are in my opinion 

 all one species, and the same as the lacunosa of the Henry 

 Edwards collection. 



E. criddlei Sm., is madea variety of e:vcw//aSm. That is new to me. 

 I knew them to be close allies, and do not dispute the re- 

 ference, but I must refer criddlei to perpolita Morr., though 

 I little suspected it on first acquaintance with criddlei, and be- 

 fore I saw the black form. 



E. sessile, termessa and ncevula are treated as one, as I had suggested 

 in correspondence that they should be, but their reference to 

 alko Strk. is new to me. 



E. friabilis Grt. stands as an aberration of messoria, which I be- 

 lieve to be correct. Dr. McDunnough and I studied the type 

 together, and arrived at the same conclusion. It came from 

 Ontario. 



E. vallus Sm. I had not previously associated this closely with 

 hostoniensis, but am interested to note the suggested near 

 relationship. 



E. vulpina Sm. I think this should certainly be nearer quinquelinea. 



E. nesilens Sm., is correctly referred as a form of tristicula, but I 

 have referred the former name as a synonym of remota Sm: 

 Two female types of remota in the Henry Edwards' collec- 

 tion were exactly like Calgary nesilens, and a type in the 

 Washington collection, while differing in certain details, 

 agreed with a Calgary nesilens in Dr. Barnes' collection. 

 The author places remota next tessellata, separated from 

 nesilens by nearly forty species.
