94 Natural History of the 



8. Telea Pohjpliemus, Hiibner, (Eyed Emperor). Abundant 

 at the end of June and beginning of July, about Bevin's Lake, 

 Township of Montcalm. I also found numerous empty cocoons, 

 near Sixteen Island Lake, "Wentworth, and at Huckleberry 

 Rapids, DeSalaberry, and the beautiful larva, (vide the excellent 

 figure in Gosse's '' Canadian Naturalist," p. 309,) was common 

 on elm trees at Hamilton's Farm, being full grown and spinning 

 up at the end of August. This fine species is therefore distributed 

 over the whole district traversed. These gigantic Emperor Moths 

 have a very strange appearance when seen against the clear sky of 

 a fine summer evening, as they fly over the lakes. 



NOCTUINA. 



1. Thi/atira scripta, Gosse. (Pink Arches). Figured in Gosse's 

 " Canadian Naturalist," p. 249. This most beautiful species was 

 abundant in the Townships of Montcalm and Arundel, at the end 

 of June and the beginning of July. 



2. T. cymatophor aides ^ Guen. Common at Sugar-bush and 

 Bevin's Lakes, Montcalm, and mouth of Devil's River, Arundel, 

 at the end of June and July ; also at Trembling Mountain Lake, 

 Grandison, 7th September. 



3. GrapTiipliora C> nigrum^ Linn. One specimen taken at 

 Huckleberry Rapids, DeSalaberry, 24th July; and another 

 worn one at Hamilton's Farm, 28th August. 



4. G. JDahlii, Hiibner. One specimen taken near Gate Lake, 

 Wentworth, 17th May. 



5. JEJuplexia lucipara, Linn. (Small Angleshades) — Common 

 in the Township of Montcalm in June. 



6. Plusia mortuorum. Abundant flying by day at Hamilton's 

 Farm in the end of August. 



GEOMBTRINA. 



1. Angerona crocataria, Fab. (Lemon beauty). Common in 

 the Townships of Montcalm and Arundel, frequently flying by 

 day in July. The female of this species is much larger, and 

 paler in colour than the male. 



2. Sicga solfataria, Guen. This lovely little moth was not 

 uncommon at the end of July, in the Township of DeSalaberry. 

 It bears a great resemblance in colour, markings, and form to 

 Ennonios macularia^ Harris. (Vide Agassiz's " Lake Superior," 

 p. 392, pi, 7, fig. 3.)
