 Island, Halifax. 



(Read 12 April 1915) 



In the Transactions of this Institute, volume xii, part 3 

 (for 1908-09), Halifax, 1912, pages 2,58-290, there was pub- 

 lished a Catalogue of Butterflies and Moths mostly collected 

 in the neighbourhood of Halifax and Digby, by the present 

 writer and Mr. John Russell, then of the latter place. Since 

 1909 the writer has continued collecting these insects, and 

 has also received specimens and records of captures from 

 Air. George E. Sanders, field officer of the Department of 

 Agriculture, entomological laboratory, Bridgetown, Annapolis 

 County, N. S., and from Mr. E. Chesley Allen of Yarmouth, 

 N. S. To those two gentlemen I wish to express my thanks. 



In the present supplementary paper there is presented 

 a list of two Butterflies and sixty Moths which were not 

 previously reported; with additional remarks on species 

 before listed, and on such as have been taken at Halifax for 

 the first time. These notes are arranged in two groups: 

 (a) species not hitherto reported from Nova Scotia, and (b) 

 additional notes on species previously reported. 



Our previous catalogue contained 60 nominal species 

 and varieties of Butterflies, and 480 of Moths; total 540. 

 The present supplement brings the number up to 62 Butter- 

 flies and 540 Moths, total 602. 



The nomenclature and arrangement is that of Dr. Harrison 

 G. Dyar's List of North American Lepidoptera (Bulletin 

 U. S. National Museum, No. 52; Washington, 1902), and his 

 numbers are prefixed.
