 paratively few specimens were obtained until after August 15 th. 



I have followed Mr. Grote's Check List closely in the following list 

 of Noctuida? taken. In the majority of cases these were taken at sugar, 

 the main exceptions being Cucullias and Plusias.

 and Prof. Grote, who have aided me much. 



Squirrels and mice were troublesome at times about the trees, and 

 later in the season timber wolves and some other representatives of the 

 best suburban society, names unknown, were attracted, perhaps more by 

 the operators than the sugar, but at any rate requiring more attention than 

 was compatible with the successful pursuit of Entomology.
