moths, reared mostly from the egg ; of course most of these were fed in 1869, 

 and were in pupa during the winter ; at this time I must have above 1,000 pupa 

 which I fed during 1870, and which I trust will emerge this season. 



I had the good fortune to carry the larva of Eribia blandina through 

 the winter of 1869-70, having reared them from eggs sent me from Scotland, 

 and thus I enabled Mr. Buckler to figure the larva for his long looked for 

 work. I had also the good fortune to procure ova from some hybernated Xylina 

 petrificata and semi-brunnea, taken by my sons at Sallowbloom, and rearing 

 the larva and having them figured prove them to be distinct species. 



My two eldest sons made an entomological trip to the Highlands last 

 summer, and were most successful, taking a number of good moths, amongst 

 others four specimens of No<tua sobrina ! a larger number of this great rarity 

 than I can hear of being ever taken by any collector before. 



Two fiiends have been yearly trjing for thern ; one Mr. Euchanan "White, 

 of Perth, who resides within 30 miles of Camachgouran, where they were all 

 taken, and yet such has been his want of success that he has never seen one ; 

 but I hope now the exact locality is known it will reward others to visit the 

 spot next year.
