Vol. 33, 1889) states that this tubular nest on the Birch is the 

 work of P. ferrugana. If there is no error in the idientification 

 it is probable that the larva spends its earlier life thus, and later 

 becomes a leaf roller. As we failed to rear adults from this 

 leaf axil inihabitant and did not observe whether the larva later 

 left the tubes to become leaf rollers we cannot prove the iden- 

 tity of the two forms. Our identification of the moth was' con- 

 firmed by Mr. August Busck of the National Museum. Lot.

■ A larva forming on the alder a similar axil tube is also not 

 uncommon at Orono, Maine. The twig is less swollen than in 

 the case of the birch, thoug'h the projecting tube does not differ. 



Olethreutes albeolana. 



This species as well as an undetermined Bticosoiua also con- 

 struct tubes within the curled edge of gray birch leaves at
