136 Staten Island Association of Arts and Sciences 



Clove Valley, April 25, 1913. The first two are records additional to Mr. 

 Davis' lists of the Macrolepidoptera of Staten Island.^ The last named 

 species is recorded by Mr. Davis and hence this is merely an additional 

 noteworthy record. 



Mr. Grossbeck also showed specimens of male and female Tropaa luna 

 form ruhromarginata Davis, captured in Clove Valley, April 26 (female) 

 and May 5 (male), 1913, and mentioned the insensible gradations of this 

 form into the typical T. luna with greenish or very pale brown outer mar- 

 gins, which also emerges from hibernating cocoons, but later in the season. 



Mr. Howard H. Cleaves remarked upon the early mating of a pair of 

 killdeers, Oxyachus vociferus Linn., at Princes Bay, the young having 

 been found by him, two or three days old, on May 4, 1913, indicating that 

 the eggs must have been laid before the middle of April.

 Recorder.
