60 THE CANADIAN ENTOMOLOGIST. 



collection together in such a manner that the monographer or the student 

 can find now or in later times the material which he needs for his study. 

 To draw the attention of students to parts of the collection which are 

 arranged as far as my knowledge goes, I did begin to publish during the 

 last year lists of the contents of the collection, and will go on with such 

 publications if they should prove to be useful. Through the addition of 

 the collection of the Peabody Academy, the Museum possesses a very 

 large number of types for Heterocera and Micro-Lepidoptera of N. Am., 

 and a very large number of types of Europe. I have during many years 

 given especial care to bring together a collection of types of the European 

 fauna for comparison with the fauna of N. America. 



Concerning my list of the Phytoptoceridia, I was most agreeably sur- 

 prised by a letter of Prof. S. A. Forbes, and by a copy of the 12th Re- 

 port, in which Mr. H. Garman has given an excellent paper on the Phy- 

 topti and other injurious plant mites. The copy of this Report which he 

 has formerly forwarded to me has never reached my hands. As this 

 paper is not quoted in Justis Jahresharict, it is new to me, and I am glad 

 that the list is now directly advanced by such a prominent paper.

EUPTOIETA CLAUDIA. 



Dear Sir : In reply to the letter of Mr. Thos. E. Bean, in the Jan'y 

 number of the Entomologist, I took several specimens of Euptoieta 

 Claudia last season in the Calgarry and Goose Lake region, and Pyrameis 

 cardtii was so plentiful from Toronto to Br. Columbia that I hardly con- 

 sidered it worth while to publish it on the list. E. clatidia is added to my 

 list in the Dec. number. I took the larvse of cardui on both thistles and 

 nettles all along the route. Yours truly, 



Gamble Geddes.

\E. clatidia was also among the insects collected by Miss F. M. 

 Pierce, of Moose Mountain, N. W. T, last year, and forwarded for our 

 Society's collection. — Ed. C. E.]
