NOTES AND OBSERVATIONS. 
THE AB. PORRITTIL OF CIDARIA SUFFUMATA. — For the sake of 
clearness in the future it seems advisable to state that the figure of 
Cidarva suffumata given as ab. porritti in Mr. South’s most excellent 
second volume of the ‘ Moths of the British Isles’ just published 
(plate 72, fig. 2) does not represent the form as originally named by
