the costal region, and beyond that by dusky scales arranged quite regu- 

 larly. There is an even line at the base of the fringes, which are dusky 

 at tip and have a reddish shade toward the base. The median shade 

 line is well marked on the costa and is blackish to the median vein ; 

 below that point it is olive-green and hardly darker than the shading of 

 the outer part of the median space. In the costal region, between the 

 outer part of the basal line and inner portion of the t. a. line, there is a 

 blackish shading, and a similar, though much less marked, shading 

 extends from the inception of the t. a. to the median shade line. The 

 ordinary spots are well marked ; the claviform is slightly soiled, oliva- 

 ceous in colour. Orbicular almost upright, irregularly oval, of the 

 ground colour or a little paler, outlined in olivaceous. Reniform u]> 

 right, oblong, the angles pointed, hardly constricted in the centre. It is 

 of the ground colour, or may have a slightly reddish tinge. Secondaries 

 pale yellov/ish, without obvious markings. Beneath yellowish, both 

 wings with a smoky outer line, which, in the specimens before me, does 

 not extend across the wing. Expanse i. 68-1. 72 in. ; A--43 ™i^''-

"Three specimens have been under examination, and I have seen 

 others. None of them, however, are from the East. There is a question, 

 perhaps, whether this species is correctly identified. The examples be- 

 fore me agree with Guenee's figure and description, and I cannot remem- 

 ber having seen any species from the east which might be fitted to them. 

 While I saw the type in the British Museum some years ago, my recollec- 

 tion does not serve sufticiently well to enable me to say whether or not this 

 is really his species. I believe it to be so, and that probably in his original 

 description, tlie locality, ' New York,' was an error. The other localities 

 given in my Catalogue follovved Mr. Grote's notes. I have never seen 

 any specimens of Stramentosa identified by Mr. Grote. The specimens 

 before me are all very much alike, and they are evidently related to 

 Immanis.'" 



The disclosure that H. Stramentosa, Gn., has been taken regularly 

 at Montreal for years past by collectors connected with the Branch 

 of the Ent. Soc. of Ont. there, is in great measure a re-discovery of the 

 species in the East, apparently none knowing of its existence there except 

 themselves. It appears in the early printed lists of our Society as an
