'' I regret to differ entirely from the conclusions reached by ]\Ir. Liutner, in an interesting 

 article on the variation of Smerinthus geminutus (Entomological Contril)ution II). I tliink also 

 that in no eveut should Drury's name l3e brought into use for our common species, since his illus- 

 tration is discordant. I learn from Mr. Strecker that a specimen referable to this genus has 

 been received from the Isthmus. Mr. Lintner's reasons for referring Drury's and Kirby's 

 illustrations to S. geuiiiiatns must be conceded, 1 think, to be partly speculative. In 1865 I 

 satisfied myself that Kirby's figure was faithful and liis species valid.
