 Hampshire in August; Canada, July and August; ]S"ew York, May,

The types of xylinoides and contraria are in the British Museum and 

 are correctly referred. Mr. Morrison's type I have not seen, but have 

 seen spec^imens named by him, and Mr. Grote's reference is undoubtedly 

 correct.

The type is in the British Museum. Mr. Craef also has one of the 

 specimens from which the de.scription was made. 



Valeria is credited to Germar in literature, and the date given in 

 the nomenclator is 1821. I have been unable to find that Germar uses 

 the term at all, and on applying to Mr. Kirby, he informs me that he 

 can find no earlier use of the term than that cited from Stephens. I 

 give the citation from Germar as I find it; but it is incorrect.
