active all winter and the same is true of a few moths. In April, the 
spring brood of some of the moths appears, mainly small pyralids, 
geometrids, and tineids, with a few noctuids; as the season advances 
the number of species rapidly increases, and without doubt in sum-

Crambus or Grass Web-worm moths and other moths were common 
in grassland, but most of those obtained have not been determined 
specifically.

Hurdis (Rough Notes, pp. 317-323) mentions a large flock, con- 
taining thousands, that arrived, doubtless from over seas, Oct. 10,

that arrived, Oct. 1, 1874. They were first seen out at sea by fisher- 
men fishing on the reefs. They arrived on the north side of the 
Main Island, appearing like a vast cloud, which soon divided imto
