It ia Tprohahle that Zeuzera pyrina, Fab., (The Leopard Moth), Porthesia auriflna, W. V., 

 (The Brown-tail Moth), and Ocneria dispar, Linn, (The Gypsy Moth), will some day find their 

 way to Canada, as they have effected a lodgment in the States. 



I am sorry to record the advent of the Buffalo Carpet Beetle {Aibthratits scropliidarioi, Linn), 

 to the Province of Quebec. I found it last July at Lennoxville and also at Sherbrooke. It 

 had, I suppose, been conveyed to Canada in woollen goods from the United States.

It is worth a degree of attention that we cannot now give, as to whether the set of insect 

 migration was originally from West to East, or from East to West ; and how far the great land 

 features of this continent have checked the spread of immigrant species; and to what extent 

 climatic and other influences have aff'ected their form and coloration.

 Some species of our British Columbian insect fauna seem to me to have a much nearer 

 general resemblance to European species, than to those of Eastern Canada and the New England 

 States. ¥ov examples : 



Parnassius Clodius, Men,, has a likeness, to Parno.ssins Apollo, Linn. 

 Anthocharis Ausonides, Bdv., to Pontia Daplidice, Fab,
