LIST OF DATES OF COLLECTIONS OF LEPIDOPTEM 

 (HETEROCERA). 



The time of appearance of insects in their perfect stage is an 

 important and essential part of their life-history. It is of special 

 importance in the injurious species, in enabling us often to guard 

 against the deposit of their eggs, or to destroy the larvae at their 

 earliest appearance before serious injury has been committed by 

 them. 



The following list is from unpublished memoranda made in 

 the year 1874 of species taken either in Albany or Schenectady, 

 New York. Similar lists for the years 1869, 1870, 1872 and 1875 

 may be found in Nos. 1, 2, 3 and 4 of my " Entomological Con- 

 tributions."
