only as an aberration in Tenerife. It may be convenient to name 

 the spotless form innotata, var. n., and then to enumerate in 

 series each variety as represented in my collection. 



I have 129 (= gigas 93 + 36 innotata) specimens, of which 103 

 (= gigas 91 + 12 innotata} are from Tenerife, and 26 ( = gigas 2 + 

 24 innotata) are from Gran Canaria. The series of 103 specimens 

 from Tenerife is composed of 91 ( = 66 d 1 c? +25 $ 5) gigas, of 

 which 55 ( = 42 cf c? +13 $ $ ) were bred from Populus alba, and 

 36 ( = 24 $ c? +12 $ $ ) were bred from Salix canariensis ; and 

 12 (6 J d +6 2 2) innotata, 8 (=4 J tf +4 $ $ ) of which were 

 bred from Populus and 4( = 2 tf c? + 2 $ $ ) from Salix. 



The 26 ( = 9 d 1 d +17 S $ ) specimens from Gran Canaria were 

 bred by Dr. Lowe from Ocotea foetens ; 24 (9 3 3 +15 $ $ ) are 

 innotata, while 2 ( $ $ ) are gigas.
