 cillata, Melanippe jliictiiata, Caiiiptotirainnia biUiuata, L'idaria te.stata, 

 Kiibdlia limitata, K. bipiiiietafa , but not Aiiaitis phn/iata, which, from 

 being generally an universally present insect, was xevy scarce, and only 

 seen once or twice. The dates of observation of these imagines have 

 been given, at the risk of being tedious, as this year the appearance of 

 species has been so uncertain that the subject is one which may 

 possibly interest some readers. For the same reasons it may be allow- 

 able perhaps to append dates to the finding of larvfe, for, in this branch 

 of the study, many mconsistencies were found. The following list will 

 show the species of larvai, with dates : Aijlais^ articae, July 81st- August 

 17th; Pijrameiy. atalanta, August 4th-21st; 17n/iiielieusthainnas (//»«?),
