cephala hicolor and bisecta at Creve-Coeur Lake. The genus 

 Schinia yielded trifascia, jagnarina, arcifcra, chrysellus, lynx 

 and nundina a new record. 



Two beautiful Erebus odora were observed by Mr. E. 

 Schwarz resting on tree trunks at Meramec in August. His 

 observations on the genus Catocala show that the collecting 

 was very favorable up to the first of August, then nil until 

 after the sixteenth, then normal to the end. 



C. lacrymosa was particularly abundant with many beautiful 

 variations. M. Schwarz took two specimens of v. zelica, one 

 pair of V. ulalume and twelve v. paulina; v. evelina constituted 

 about one-third of the whole booty of lacrymosa. C. neo- 

 gama, obsciira and residua were all very scarce ; C. epione, 

 idtronia and arnica never so abundant. C. innnbens v. scintil- 

 lans represented about 25 per cent, of the innnbens caught, 

 against a proportion of 33 per cent, in 1911. C. porta, consors 

 and marmorata give one specimen each. 



As a new record we may mention C. titania. captured by Mr. 

 McElhose some years ago and but lately identified in the col- 

 lection of Mr. E. Schwarz. 



Amongst other additions to the local list of nocturnals we 

 find: Apantesis figurota. OrtJiosia aiiriantiago, Melipotis ver- 

 sabilis, Melalopha apicalis, Schianra ipomoeae and Givira 

 anna (Dyar) six specimens, by the writer; Eutrapela al- 

 ciphearia, by IMr. E. Schwarz and Ufeus satyricus.
