None of the insects mentioned by Gosse, as far as I can identify them, would now 

 he considered rarities, except the "Chequered Skipper" (p. 219), the " Pearly Eye " 

 (p. 246), and the " Dragon Moth " (p. 248). 



From the index to the Canadian Naturalist we lind that Gosse was acquainted with 

 2G of our butterflies and 43 of our moths, Vjesides a variety of beetles, bugs, flies, etc. 

 The Lepidoptera are given below under the names used by Gosse and (as far as I have 

 been able to identify them) the names in the "Toronto List."
