The varieties approaching Athalia are something extra- 

 ordinary : variations occurring according to the different 

 heights and localities in which they are taken, each valley 

 seems to present some difference in size or marking. Apatura 

 Ilia I have never taken, but 1 have seen a specimen taken 

 by my butcher near Aigle. 



Aigle, Canton de Vaud, La Suisse, Feb. 1, 1877. 



NOTES ON CRAMBITES, OBSERVED DURING 

 THE YEARS 1874, 1875, 1876. 



By Walter P. Weston. 



Crambus alpinellus, Hb. — Though not appearing in any 

 quantity, there seems to be no cause for apprehension lest 

 this rare and local species should temporarily disappear. It 

 has, 1 understand, been taken each season, in its old locality, 

 in the neighbourhood of Portsmouth.
