MISCELLANEOUS NOTES. 



Lepidoptera from Florida. — We have received a small collection 



of Lepidoptera from Mr. Joseph E. Chase, Holyoke, Mass., that were 

 taken in the State of Florida : it has afforded us pleasure to identify them 

 for him. No. 1, Enyo lugubris, Drury ; the larva is said by Dr. Clemens 

 to feed upon the common Virginian Creeper ; we may hope, therefore, to 

 hnd this Sphinx in Canada, as its food-plant is very abundant. No. 2. 

 Agraulis vanillas. Linn. — two specimens. No. 3, Terias lisa Boisd. — has 

 occasionally been taken in Canada. No. 4, jfunonia cee/iia Hubn.- 

 also occasionally found in this country. No. 5, Pieris mo/zusta Codt. 

 (P. cleomenes Boisd. and Lee.) : a male and female, the latter distin- 

 guished by the smoky colour of its under surface. No. 6, Callidryas 

 eubule Linn, a pair ; the male may be distinguished from the female 

 by the lovely immaculate yellow colour of its upper surface. No. 7, 

 Papilio tl/oas Linn. — taken occasionally in Canada. No. 8, Cluerocanipa 

 tersa Linn. No. 9. Melitcea ? — a species quite new to us, and pro- 

 bably undescribed. 



Personal. — We very much regret to learn, from the communication 

 of our esteemed correspondent, W. H. Edwards, Coalburgh, West Vir- 

 ginia, contained in the present number, that his dwelling has recently 

 been consumed by fire, and with it some portion of his Entomological 

 material. We sincerely hope that he succeeded in saving his valuable 

 collection of Lepidoptera. — Ed. C. E.
