the tip of the abdomen in the male. The fore wings are pale 

 tawny, mottled with reddish brown scales ; on the costa are two 

 pale, almost silvery spots, one on the inner third of the costa, 

 which is triangular, with one point resting on the costal edge, 

 and another pointing towards the base of the wing. Just be- 

 yond the middle of the wing is a prominent triangular silvery 

 spot with the base on the costa ; a Y-shaped brownish band 

 encloses this spot, the apex of the Y being prolonged towards 

 the inner angle of the wing. Within the Y-shaped spot is an 

 oblong brown spot lying across the wing, though not reaching 

 either the costal or inner edges. The outer edge of the wing 

 is more decidedly tawny, and paler on the edge. There is a sub- 

 apical obhque silvery band, and one parallel, but shorter, lying 

 next the apex of the wing. The fringe is paler than the wing. 

 The hind wings are dark ash, with the fringe paler. Beneath, 

 the wings are pale tawny, the fore wings being rather darker. 

 The body is .35 of an inch in length, and the wings expand .75 

 of an inch. 



The Cherry Coleophora. — This is a new species of tliis genus 

 which I would propose to name Coleophora cerasivorella, The 

 wings are shorter and broader than others of the genus, and the 

 base of the antennae are smooth, being without the usual tuft of 

 scales. It is of an uniform dark stone gray. The antennge and 

 head are whitish gray, the former annulated with white ; they 

 reach to the outer third of the wing.. The head is smooth and 

 rounded above, the scales lying flat on the surface. The legs 

 pale gray ; the hind tibise very hairy, with four long spurs. 

 The wings have no markings, being dark gray with darker 

 scales. The hind wings are very narrow with a long fringe. 

 The body is .14 of an inch long, and the wings expand .42 inch. 

 It feeds on the leaves of the|cherry in Salem. 



INSECTS INJURING THE CRANBERRY VINE. 



The glistening Cranberry moth. — Of the extensive genus Tor- 

 trix three species have been found to prey on the cranberry. 

 The present species is said by Mr. P. G. Sanborn, to prey upon

 to the Study of Insects," under the name of Tortrix oxycoccana. 



It was found flying, October 4th. The body is of a dark slate 

 color, and the palpi, which are large and project well beyond
