liave been recorded. I imagine there can be no doubt that the ? above described is 

 rightly referred to remota ; bat if it shonld tnrn out that the ¥ ? of remota, like 

 those of poci/i Gu^rin, are dimorphic, one form resembling the c?, the other with 

 the pale tints developed, then this present ? may be known as aberr. ? blcolor.
