Pamphila ottoe, Edw.— I have not met with this species at Winnipeg 

 since my captures in 1S95. but it turned up at Brandon this year, having 

 been taken by Mr. Robinson. 



Pamphila uncas^ Edw. — On June 27th I got thiee beautitully fresii 

 specimens at Carberry. They were all taken off milkweek. Also 

 captured this year at Brandon by Messrs. Boger and Robinson. 



Pyrgus iesse//ata, Scud. — The jjrevious record was not my capture, 

 and I had never seen the species in the district until this year, when 

 I bagged several at Bird's Hill on June 13th, and at Carberry on the 

 27th I got two more.

To prevent misconception of my paper in the October number of the 

 Canadian Entomologist, on the Neuration of Lepidoptera, there should 

 be added to the statement on p. 291, line 2 from bottom of the page, the 

 words : " On the hind wings." The Hesperiades have two ana! veins on 

 the secondaries, the Papilionides only one remaining. 



Also, at the close of the article, p. 292, the words "of the fore 

 wings" should be intercalated, in the concluding sentence, after 

 " internal vein." I am writing of the last short downwardly curved 

 veins of the Papilionides' primary wing, and which Dr. Chapman regards 

 as homologous with the fourth anal, not the "third," as I have given in 

 the paper. Upon this difference in the appearance and retention of the 

 anal veins of the primaries, I have founded the theory of the diphyletism 

 of the diurnals. The Papilionides will thus have lost the third anal of 

 primaries and retained the fourth, which is free and joins the internal 

 margin. The Hesperiades have generally retained a remnant of the third 

 anal pupal vein, in the shape of a fork to second anal, which is absorbed 

 in many brush-footed butterflies, but is determinate in the Limnadidse, 

 Libytheidse and Nemeobiid^e, while the fourth anal of the fore wings 

 has become lost. 



I finally would mention that the authorities give Borkhausen 

 as author to Hydroecia nictitans, not Linne', as I had written without 

 having consulted the earlier references to the species. The work of 

 Duponchel should be cited : " Lep. Eur.,'" not "Lep. Ent.," as printed in 

 my last paper on " Types of Noctuid Genera,"
