Making in all 475 species and varie- 

 ties taken in this locality. 



Catocala sappho was seen last season 

 by my friend Dr. H. Jewett, but un- 

 fortunately he was unable to take it. 



Taking "at light "^ has never been 

 tried here, and " sugaring " only part of 

 one season ; so I have no doubt that 

 many species marked rare on this list 

 will in time prove common. 



Most of the Catocalae have been 

 taken on trunks of trees in the day 

 time. 



Many larvae have been taken by 

 "bush-beating," but I have been unable 

 to rear the greater part of them, especial- 

 ly those that hibernate in the larva state 

 and do not pupate till spring.

^GERIAN PARASITES. 



By Herbert Osborn, Ames, Iowa. 

 In the July number of " Papilio " Mr. G. H. French men- 

 tions the discovery of a parasite upon ^geria syringce, and it will 

 be seen from the following notes that I have made observations 

 that entirely agree with his in regard to the fact that Algerians 

 are parasitized. My first observation was made in 1878, when two 

 chrysalids of j^geria syringes^ found in branches of ash trees, pro- 

 duced each a perfect Ichneumon. A note in regard to this I pub- 

 lished in Trans. Iowa Hort. Soc. for the year 1878. In 1880 I 

 collected quite a number of larvae and pupse of syring(2, from
