seen them at any other time than in the autumn when the grapes are ap- 

 proaching maturity. 



Remedies. — As it is possible that most of the late brood pass the 

 winter in the chrysalis state attached to the leaves, if these were gathered 

 and burned a large number of the insects would perish. The infested 

 grapes might also be gathered and destroyed. This insect is attacked by 

 a small parasite which doubtless does its part towards keeping the enemy 

 in subjection. 



CORRESPONDENCE. 



Dear Sir : Please insert the following correction of line 12, page 

 156, August number : For "only these little claws rather than the usual 

 tubercles," read " only three little claws instead of the usual circlet of 

 tentacles." V. T. Chambers. 



Dear Sir : In preparing my article on Honwptera lunata in recent 

 number of the Canadian Entomologist I overlooked the article by Prof. 

 J. A. Lintner in his 4th Entomological contributions, where he gives good 

 reasons for thinking lunata and edusa, and perhaps Saundersii but sexes of 

 one species. I had seen his article but at the time of writing it did not 

 occur to me. G. H. French, Carbondale, 111. 



Dear Sir: Mr. A, R. Grote, p. 128, July, states in favor of his 

 opinion that Staudinger's Catalogue did not hesitate to introduce for Pap. 

 Podalirius the name P. Simon. But Dr. Staudinger has in the same 

 volume, Errata, p. 422, corrected this statement : " Podalirius nomen est 

 vetustius." H. A. Hagen, Cambridge, Mass. 



notes and captures. 



Papilio cresphontes. Cram. — I saw on the street very recently a 

 magnificent specimen of this beautiful butterfly ; it was flying slowly and 

 could easily have been captured with a net. E. B. Reed, London.
