Lower, who thought it to be confined to that colony. Mr. G, 

 Masters took a single specimen (^) in September, 1863, at Merira- 

 bula, near Bega. This specimen is now in the Macleay Museum. 

 A few months ago I had the satisfaction of seeing examples of 

 both sexes in the collection of Mr. A. G. Hamilton, of Mount 

 Kembla, which he had caught near his house. On the 19th 

 March of this year Mr. N. W. Hansard caught a female near 

 Picton, and saw several others on the wing. I should think the 

 best time to look for this insect would be in January and Feb- 

 ruary, and it should be found along the Illawarra Range. 



H. CORDAGE, Huhner, H. philerope, Boisd., have both been 

 taken on the Liverpool Plains by the late Mr. A. S. Olliif. I 

 have not heard of their being taken nearer Sydney, but they will 

 probably be recorded sooner or later if search is made for them. 

 //. philerope is common near Mount Kosciusko. Both are well 

 known Victorian species. 



Appended is a note on Xenica hohartia, Westwood. The only 

 specimens of the above species from New South Wales are: — One 

 specimen caught by Mr. OllifF near Katoomba Railway Station; 

 two specimens by Mr. Russell at the Hawkesbury, and one 

 specimen (5) by Mr. G. Lyell, Junr., on 5th October, 1896, at 

 Narrabeen. This last specimen is in my collection and is exhibited 

 to-night.
