fairly abundant. Ectrly in the year hundreds of cut-worms of Noctua fc'nnic<i were present 

 in clover fields but I have not heard of their having done serious damage. 



During the season considerable attention has been given to studying life historieB, par- 

 ticularly of lepidoptera. Many specimens have been reared and some additions made to our 

 knowledge of common species. — Some of the results of this work are submitted herewith show- 

 ing the larvie, pup.-e, and perfect insects and in some cases parasites also of :— 



Hydrcecia cataphracta In burdock. (Lappa inajor.) 



Gluphisia trilineata On Aspen. {Populus tremuloides.) 



Edema albifiotis On Oak. 



Lyomorpha phohis On lichen on rocks. 



Eudryas grata . On grape vines. 



Metzeria lappella Seeds of Burdock. 



Euplexia htcipara Ferns of all kinds. 



Peridroma occulta ... Injuring asparagus.

I noticed in examining the collections of the Society last year that some of the specimen* 

 are faded or imperfect. I have therefore much pleasure in presenting the following which I 

 trust may be found acceptable : 



Larvae of Mamestra picta, Calocampa curvimacula, Noctua fennica, Xylina Bethunei , 

 Xylina disposita, Orgyia leucostigma, Datana ministra ; Moths of Eudryas unio, Lycomorpha 

 pholus (2), Epirranthis obfirmaria (2), Mamestra lorea (2), Abrostola urentis, Alaria florida,

No cases of serious injury from noxious insects came under the writer's notice, although 

 late in the season Golias phUodice {Fig. 22) and PierLs rapte (Fig. 23) were quite nwmeroue, 

 flitting about the clover fields containing the ripened second crop.
