BY AUG. R. GROTE. 

 [Read before this Society, October 21, 1874.] 



On page 22 of the Annual Eeport of the Trustees of the Pea- 

 body Academy of Science for the year 1873, I presented in a tabu- 

 hir form the species of Noctuidae regarded as common to Europe 

 and North America, as well as those species nearly related, but 

 which could be separated by character warranting distinctional des- 

 ignation. Subsequent investigations have added to and corrected 

 the tables then prepared, and I here offer the results of late scien- 

 tific enquiry on the subject.
