tions of SuhgotJdca ov Jacullfera in tlie same reports is incorrect, Tricosa 

 being illustrated, at least in part (woodcut). Also "Commelinae" is not 

 that species. The identifications of our Noctuidcc in the Missouri Re- 

 ports are, generally speaking, unfortunate, and have been made without 

 suficient acquaintance with the group. Finally, I believe that Brassicce 

 will i^rove identical with the Euroi^ean Ni, and that it may have been 

 introduced like the White Cabbage Butterfly. The peculiar structure 

 of the male seems to be the same in American and European examples. 

 Professor Eiley is quite wrong in contradicting my separation of the 

 West Indian and South American iSatelUtia from our Philampelus pan- 

 dorus; my course is latterly approved by Butler, and Dr. Boisduval also 

 considers the two quite different. I have, as early as 1872, in the Trans. 

 Am. Ent. Soc, p. 28, discussed these mistakes.
