the specimens of C. ^njrantlie reared under conditions of 

 drought were of the form that was commonest in the dry 

 season, the late Mr. de Niceville, on the other hand, spoke 

 of the dry-season form as C. gnoma. It was perhaps possible 

 that Mr. de Niceville considered Fabricius's original description 

 of C. gnoma, which mentions only one spot on the under- 

 surface of the hind-wings, inapplicable to the heavily maculated 

 phase recognized as gnoma by Moore (Lep. Ceylon, vol. i, 1880, 

 p. 123), and by most other writers. 



Correction. 



Colonel J. W. Yekbury's remarks on the Warble Fly 

 (p. XXV, Proceedings) were incorrectly reported, and should 

 read as follows : — 



The Warble Fly frequents elevated ground, and probably 

 only comes down into the rich lowland pastures while in the 

 larval state, and therefore in the backs of the cattle; the 

 flies on emergence probably making their way back to the 

 high ground at once. The smearing of the cattle with the 

 various compositions recommended by Miss Ormerod and other 

 economic entomologists is therefore useless, the gravid females 

 not being in the neighbourhood of the beast at the time when 

 it is applied.
