[We imagine that few believe in Boarmia perfumaria, as distinct from rhomboi- 

 daria. The story of its having been bred from a peculiar form of larvae, feeding 

 upon ivy, has been proved to be utterly mythical. The " veiy smoky " northern 

 varieties of many species are not generally considered distinct. — Eds.]
