 Forest.

N. baja. Very rarely at sugar in garden; commoner in 

 Forest.

 under same conditions. 



Scopelosoma satellitia. Occasionally at sugar in gardei>, 

 and at sallow in the spring. Commoner in the Forest, where the 

 larva can be beaten out in large numbers. 



Xanthia citrago. Occasionally at sugar in garden. A speci- 

 men was taken l)y my mother on a fence at Buckhurst Hill, in 

 1890.
