 interior of British Columbia, (Cockle). 



2,086. Xylina Tiemina, Grt. Aweme, Apl. 23, and Sept., (Criddle). Teste 

 Dod. 



2,096. Xylina amanda, Sm. Aweme, Sept. 19, Oct. 1, (Criddle). Teste 

 Dod; Miniota, Man., (Gibbon). 



2,107. Xylina tepida, Grt. MacNab's Island, Halifax, Apl. 17, (Perrin);

2,113. Xylina capax, G. & R. Cartwright, (Heath). Teste Dyar. 

 Xylina fletcheri, Sm. Meach Lake, Sept. 6, 7, (Young). 



2,168. Gortyna medialis, Sm. Calgary, a worn male at light, Sep. 19, 

 very rare of recent years, (Dod). 

 Gortyna pallescens, Sm. Kalso, Aug. 25, the only specimen taken 

 since 1892, (Cockle). It is possible that Mr. Dod's specimen 

 should be referred here. 



2,175. Papaipema harrisii, Grt. var. Reared in some numbers from larvae 

 boring in the base of fronds of Pteris aquilina, Meach Lake, 

 Aug., (Young). These larvae were much parasitised. 



2,191. Papaipema appassionata, Harvey. Reared from the roots of Sar- 

 racenia purpurea, Meach Lake, Aug., (Young). Many larvae 

 parasitised by Masicera vnyoidea. This most beautiful species 

 is still very rare in collections. 



2,213. Tapinostola orientalis, Grt. Calgary, two specimens at light, Sept. 

 8, (Hudson). 



2,284, Tapinostola variana, Morr. Meach Lake, one specimen, July 7, 

 (Young). A new record for Ottawa district. 



2,473. Polychrysia formosa, Grt, MacNab's Island. Halifax, Aug. 17, 

 (Perrin); St. John, July 19, (Mcintosh). 



2,516. Autographa surena, Grt. Quebec, Que., Aug, 12, 1902, (Hahn), 



2,501, Autographa alias, Ottol, Dr. Ottolengui writes, "this species ia 

 found in nearly all collections under the name of u-aureum, a 

 European species, the description of which does not fit anything 

 in this country," Specimens have been received from St. John, 

 (Mcintosh); Halifax, (Perrin), and Ottawa, (Young). 



2,503. Autographa altera, Ottol. McNab's Island, Halifax, (Perrin). Dr. 

 Ottolengui writes: "The type of altera came from Nepigon, and 

 I have a second specimen from the Adirondacks. Mr. Perrin's 

 is the third. I am much interested in this specimen, because, 

 being grayer than mine, it looks more like variana, but, placed 

 between the types of these two species, which Dr. Dyar thought 

 would prove to be the same, the specimen only emphasizes thn 

 fact, that both are species. 



2,514. Autographa celsa, Hy. Edw, Yancouver, July 29, (Bush). 



2,522. Autographa excelsa, Ottol. Sable Island, Aug. 19, 1899, (John 

 Macoun). "I have been told that this species is not separable 

 from angulidens, described from Colorado ; but I have had over 

 a hundred specimens of that before me, and every one has the 

 silver mark with prolongations close together, and turned in- 

 wardly forming a U, 1 took my first excelsa in New Hamp- 

 shire, and received others from Wolley-Dod, of Calgary. All 

 that do not come from Colorado, have thus far had the typical 

 V instead of the U silver mark. The genitalia also differ. You 

 may feel safe in calling anything like this from Colorado, 

 angulidens, as it seems as local as vaccinii. All others are ex- 

 celsa/' (R. Ottolengui.)
