LARV^ AFFECTING THE CABBAGE. 



Plusia dyaua Grote. 



This species lias been reared from larvue found on cabbage. I have 

 seen no account of it, liowever. I believe it will be found on other 

 l)lants more commonly and not principally on cabbage like Plusia ni, a 

 European form of peculiar structure, which I think may have been intro- 

 duced into this countrj'' much as the White Cabbage-butterfly. Although 

 the American specimens have been described as distinct, I regard them 

 as the same as the European species. 



Botis repetitalis Grote. 



Specimens of the larva of this species were received by Professor 

 Comstock, when Entomologist to the Department of Agriculture, from Dr. 

 A. Oemler, of Savannah, found feeding on cauliiiower. Jt is described 

 on page 270 of the report for 1880, which latter is one of the finest and 

 most scientifically valuable documents ever issued by the department, 

 of which I have any knowledge.

 two following changes in our lists :
