the parentage, birth, and life-history of considerably 

 more than a thousand individual moths, which have 

 been preserved. I have to thank the Editors of the 

 * Entomologist's Monthly Magazine ' and the * Entomo- 

 logist ' for their help in drawing attention to my desire 

 to obtain living examples of illustraria from other 

 regions than the South and East of England (especially 

 from regions where it is single-brooded, as I believe it is 

 in Perthshire and in Scandinavia), as materials for the 

 inquiries I am desirous of prosecuting ; this assistance 

 has not yet borne fruit, but the insect is not a common 

 one, and I hope it may some day find its way to me from 

 these distant parts.
