can obtain specimens from Europe with which to compare 

 the species I have described as new, I shall give the results of 

 the comparison and refer to Herr Moschler's valuable re- 

 marks. 



Botys inquinitalis Zeller. Having received two specimens of tliis 

 species from Lapland, through the kindness of Dr. Staudinger, and 

 observed how much the t^vo specimens difl'er from each other, I am dis- 

 posed, with Dr. Staudinger (Catalog., etc.) and Herr Moschler, to refer 

 my Scopula glacialis (I. c. 52) to the above species. 



My specimens differ from the two others, in being paler in the middle of 

 the fore wings, with the outer line consequently much more distinct. On 

 the under side the same line is repeated with more distinctness, while the 

 five black costal spots are smaHer and consequently farther apart than in 

 the Lapland examples. Otherwise the species agree with those from 

 Lapland. 



Pempelia fusca (Haworth). Moschler regai'ds mj Eudorea? frigidella 

 (Proc. Bost. Soc. Nat. Hist., 1866, p. 53) as identical with E. centuriella 

 S. "V". I fear Herr Moschler has been misled by my doubtful reference of 

 this species to Eudorea. Having since received four specimens from 

 Lapland and Iceland, of Pempelia fusca (Haworth), I find that my speci- 

 mens belong undoubtedly to that species. I have also specimens from 

 Orono, Augusta and Brunswick, Maine, captured in July and August. 

 These differ in no I'espect from the Labrador and European examples. 



Scopai'ia alhisinuatella {Eudorea? alhisinuatella Pack. I. c). As regards 

 the identity of this form with S. centuriella, I should hesitate to decide 

 until I have specimens from Europe with which to compare my example.

Along the Great Kanawha river the Upper Coal Group 

 is observable up to about twelve miles below Charleston. 

 It contains two <!oal beds of workable thickness. The lower 

 one is the Pittsburg (VIII of Ohio section) and is usually- 

 known as the "Eaymoud seam." It is much reduced in 

 thickness where it crosses Pocatalico Creek and is very
