 and beautiful species was captured at sugar, near the Glen 

 House, on June 2U.

 ing ; it is also found in various localities in the Middle and 

 Western States. 



Acronycta dactylina Grote. A pair was taken at sugar near

 on the Ledge, two above this locality, by Mr. Emerton, and 

 two by ourselves, buried deeply beneath the moss on one of 

 the numerous plats of sedge, a few hundred feet below the 

 summit. The perfect insects came out at the same time as 

 those of the preceding species.
