North-American Sphinges and Bombyces. 307 
The exact localities are in almost every case carefully recorded ; 
but a few species were placed in a separate box from the others, 
and to these I found no exact record attached. 
His Lordship has kindly forwarded the following hist of 
places visited by him in California and Oregon :— 
California. 
“San Francisco, May 16th, 1871. 
“Sonoma County, May 18th to 23rd. 
“‘ Mendocino County, May 24th to June 14th. 
“Lake County, June 15th to 23rd. 
“Colusa County, June 24th to July 4th. 
‘Tehama County, July 5th to 9th. 
“Shasta County, July 10th to 28th. 
“Siskiyou County, July 29th to September 15th, part of 
which time (August 1st to September Ist) being spent upon 
Mount Shasta.” 
Oregon. 
*¢ Lost River to Crooked Creek, September 16th to 23rd. 
“Camp Watson, on John Day’s River, North Oregon, up 
to April 14th, 1872; reached Fort the Dalles, near the mouth 
of the Columbia River, April 21st, and Portland April 27th ; 
thence by rail and road to Rouge River, May 7th ; remained 
at Rouge River up to June lst; thence proceeded, wid@ Jack- 
sonville, to Siskiyou Mountains, June 7th ; remained on the 
Siskiyou range to June 18th, crossing into 
“ California, 
“thence vid Crescent City &c. to mouth of Klamath River, 
June 23rd, and then to Hureka on July 1st.” 
In the identification of several of the forms here enumerated 
I have been assisted through the generosity of Mr. Henry 
Edwards (formerly of San Francisco, but now of New York), 
who recently presented a series of named Californian Lepido- 
ptera to the collection of the British Museum. 
Four, if not five, of the species appear to me to be new to 
science, for one of which I have found it necessary to erect a 
new genus. ‘There are also several well-marked varieties of 
known species not hitherto recorded, for some of which I have 
considered it best (for purposes of reference) to propose dis- 
tinctive names, although I cannot regard them as entitled to 
specific rank.
