100 THE CANADIAN ENTOMOLOGIST 



including a copy of "The Guide to Nature," will be sent upon 

 application. 



On the other hand, full particulars will be required of the 

 personality, skill, experience, plans, etc., of the applicant who 

 would come here and take charge of our Entomological Depart- 

 ment. We would prefer someone who has retired from active 

 business life and has means to devote the rest of his days to his 

 favorite pursuits, but such entire devotion of time is not necessary. 

 Arrangements could be made for some income for services, if 

 desired. Employment of various kinds can be obtained in the 

 vicinity, but, as previously stated, the ideal would be one who 

 has retired and intends to devote all the rest of his time to the 

 interests and beauties of entomological nature. 



For further particulars, apply to The Agassiz Association — Ed- 

 ward F. Bigelow, President — ArcAdiA, Sound Beach, Connecticut. 



THE COTTON MOTH, ALABAMA ARC ILL ACE A HEN. 



The photograph from which the accompanying illustration was 



made, was sent to me by Mr. J. F. Calvart,of London, Ont. These 



moths were noticed in very large numbers this autumn in Western 



Ontario. At London, they appeared suddenly either late in the 



Fig. 2 



evening of Oct. 10, or early in the morning of Oct. 11. The char- 

 acteristic habit of the moth of resting with its head downward 

 is well shown in the illustration. An account of the occurrence 

 of this moth in eastern Canada in 1912 will appear in an early issue 

 of the Ottawa Naturalist. — Arthur Gibson, Div. of Ent., Ottawa.
