396 THE CANADIAN ENTOMOLOGIST. 



four pairs from Hymers, Ont., and three specimens from Calgary. 

 He seems to imply that all of these specimens have the band con- 

 nected with the inner margin by a spur. My only two Alberta 

 specimens are those previously recorded, and one of them lacks 

 the spur. Both are pale reddish brown, almost salmon tinted. 

 A pair from Hymers, Ont., are similarly maculate, though both 

 have the spur, but the colour is much darker brown, especially in 

 the secondaries. A female from Duncans, V. I., is apparently 

 closely allied to the Calgary form, but is of a more fuscous pale 

 brown, without any reddish tints, and has faint, diffuse fuscous 

 cloudings in various portions of the wing, and two small, faintly 

 silvered discal dots in one of these clouds at the end of the cell 

 on primaries. 



Additional Heterocera. 



The number of species of Heterocera which have come to 

 hand, or been recognized, or of which authentic records have been 

 procured too late for insertion in their order in my original list, 

 is large, roughly, some hundred and twenty. Considering 

 that it is about nine years since that list was commenced (Vol. 

 XXXVI, p. 345, December, 1904), and seven since its completion 

 (Vol. XXXVIII, p. 267, August, 1906), a much larger number of 

 additions might have been expected, had collecting been done as 

 assiduously of recent years as it was formerly. Mr. Arthur Hudson 

 and the author used to collect, principally at night, on a somewhat 

 extensive scale, for some twelve or fifteen years, though such 

 collecting was for the most part restricted to a very small area. 

 The cessation has been gradual, and, for a variety of reasons, the 

 collecting done by us during the few past years has been practically 

 nil. That the list could yet be largely augmented if researches 

 were carried on extensively further afield, is evinced by the high 

 percentage of fresh species found in occasional small consignments 

 received from distant localities. For instance, Lethbridge, in 

 Southern Alberta, the driest portion of the Province, and practi- 

 cally the northern limit of the desert region, has, to judge from the 

 captures made on occasional visits by one or two collectors there, 

 many species unknown, or of extreme rarity further north. 

 Mr. N. B. Sanson has done considerable collecting, chiefly at light, 

 at Banff, in the Rockies, for the past few seasons, and discovered
