  Taken 
  at 
  rest 
  on 
  trunks 
  of 
  pine 
  trees, 
  by 
  myself 
  and 
  Mr. 
  G. 
  R. 
  Crotch, 
  in 
  Au- 
  

   gust. 
  This 
  is 
  now 
  the 
  third 
  species 
  known 
  of 
  this 
  interesting 
  genus. 
  Clemensia 
  

   albata, 
  Pack, 
  is 
  somewhat 
  common 
  in 
  the 
  Atlantic 
  States. 
  C. 
  umbrata, 
  Pack. 
  

   is 
  known 
  only 
  through 
  a 
  unique 
  specimen 
  taken 
  by 
  myself 
  at 
  Congress 
  Springs, 
  

   Santa 
  Clara 
  County, 
  which 
  was, 
  unfortunately, 
  destroyed 
  in 
  its 
  passage 
  Ih 
  rough 
  

   the 
  post 
  from 
  Dr. 
  Packard's 
  hands 
  to 
  mine. 
  Luckily, 
  however, 
  an 
  excellent 
  

   drawing 
  of 
  it 
  was 
  obtained 
  by 
  Mr. 
  R. 
  H. 
  Stretch, 
  which 
  has 
  appeared 
  in 
  his 
  

   " 
  BombycidiE 
  of 
  North 
  America," 
  and 
  will 
  serve 
  to 
  keep 
  the 
  species 
  in 
  remem- 
  

   brance 
  until 
  its 
  capture 
  can 
  be 
  again 
  recorded. 
  Our 
  Coast 
  will 
  probably 
  fur- 
  

   nish 
  other 
  species, 
  which 
  may 
  be 
  sought 
  for 
  in 
  pine 
  woods, 
  sitting 
  on 
  the 
  trunks 
  

   of 
  trees 
  during 
  the 
  day.

  Apparently 
  abundant 
  in 
  Oregon 
  and 
  Vancouver 
  Island. 
  I 
  saw 
  many 
  speci- 
  

   mens 
  in 
  the 
  collections 
  of 
  Mr. 
  Cox 
  and 
  Mr. 
  Harvey, 
  of 
  Victoria, 
  and 
  took 
  a 
  

   few 
  Sue 
  specimens 
  in 
  Portland, 
  Oregon, 
  in 
  July, 
  when 
  it 
  flew 
  in 
  some 
  numbers 
  

   about 
  the 
  streets 
  of 
  the 
  city.

  This 
  form, 
  which, 
  according 
  to 
  the 
  observations 
  of 
  Mr. 
  Stretch 
  and 
  myself, 
  

   can 
  only 
  be 
  regarded 
  as 
  an 
  extreme 
  variety 
  of 
  E. 
  virginalis, 
  was 
  taken 
  by 
  me 
  

   in 
  both 
  the 
  above 
  localities, 
  equally 
  common 
  with 
  the 
  typical 
  form, 
  and 
  mani- 
  

   festing 
  precisely 
  the 
  same 
  habits.

   I 
  saw 
  three 
  distinct 
  varieties 
  of 
  this 
  genus 
  in 
  the 
  small 
  collection 
  of 
  Mr
