Althougli resembling A. jir(ii\^((, Lin., in reality more nearly 

 allied to A. biirejeoia, Brem. ; the differences existing between 

 them l)eing similar to those which obtain between A. lecanu and 

 proiKa, it might be iui'erred that they are only permanent 

 dimor])hic conditions of one species but the assertion of 

 Mr. V. Jonas that they appear at the same season and in 

 difl^^i'vcnl localjtifs is opposed to this inference.
