AUTUMN. 
Much of what has been said under the head 
of Winter will apply to this season. But there 
is still considerable employment for the indus- 
trious. The ground beetles {Carabi) now re- 
appear, and the woods will still furnish many 
species of moths {Noctiice, GeometrcE, the 
beautiful button Tortrices, and Tinece). The 
chrysalides of the death’s head moth {Ache- 
rontia Atropos) and some others, may be 
taken while potatoes are being dug up, and 
persons who are thus employed should be di- 
rected to carry a box containing damp moss, 
and to deposite the chrysalides as taken ; and 
to disturb them as little as possible. The 
death’s head moth appears in October and 
November. The last general brood of cater- 
pillars will be found about the middle of Sep- 
tember, some of which live till the Spring, and 
are very difficult to rear ; but the greater part 
go into the chrysalis state before the approach 
of Winter. 
Some species of ynats {Culex) and crane- 
Jiies {Tipulce) may be found about ponds,
