NOTES AND QUERIES. 



EuDAMUS Zestos, Hiibn. — In a letter under date of March loth, Mr. C. E. 

 VV^orthington writes as follows: "Your remarks on Zestos (^ Oberon) are in- 

 teresting. I depended on others to examine Hiibner, etc., as the books are not 

 in Chicago, and I was assured that tlie species was not described therein. I had 

 about eighty examples, all singularly uniform, and a number of Tityrus, of the 

 usual type, from near by. I distrust such forms, and had there been but one or 

 two pairs would not have described them, for I greatly dislike to add to the 

 burdensome synonymy." He adds: "I .shall try to do some collecting during 

 the coming summer (if we have any summer); just now there is no limit to the 

 ice-field, which is said to solidly fill the lake clear across to the Michigan shore. 

 I have once pursued butterflies over the ice, and may do so again this year." 



Mr. Worthington would like to obtain "a few live pupse of Gloveri,'" and can 

 supply quantities of the pupce of Cecropia and Folypttemus . E. M. Aaron. 



Information Acknowledged. — I wish to acknowledge replies to my in- 

 quiry in the January number of Papilio, from Messrs. W. H. Edwards, Philip 

 Nell, lohn B. .Smith and Rev. George D. Hulst. The latter has described the 

 method used by him very fully, and for the benefit of certain readers of Papilio 

 who may be as much in the dark as I was, I reproduce it here.
