Two specimens from Kaslo, British Columbia (Cockle). Doctor 

 Dyar says that there are no oaks in that locality. As oak is the food 

 plant of radlatella this would suggest a misidentitication, but 1 am not 

 able to find any differences from certain varieties of the European 

 species. The explanation of the matter probabh" is that the specimens 

 were not taken in the immediate vicinity of Kaslo. They boar no 

 exact locality label.

Kaslo, British Columbia, August (Dj^ar), and Collins, Idaho, July 

 (Piper). These specimens are intermediate between the three forms 

 named l)y Lord Walsingham (lentifcveUa, canariclht^ and frw'^tnUn, 

 and they exhibit considera])le variation. From the material which I 

 have examined it is my opinion that the three names represent merely 

 extreme varieties of the same species. Until the species is bred, and 

 this opinion is contirmed, it will, however, be proper to retiiin all three 

 names.
