  • 
  It 
  is 
  probable 
  that 
  Cidaria 
  albolineata 
  should 
  be 
  numbered 
  

   among 
  the 
  above 
  subarctic 
  forms, 
  although 
  not 
  so 
  included 
  by 
  

   Packard. 
  The 
  localities 
  ascribed 
  to 
  it 
  are 
  all 
  of 
  northern 
  or 
  

   high 
  elevations, 
  as 
  Quebec, 
  Brunswick, 
  Me., 
  and 
  the 
  White 
  

   Mountains. 
  It 
  has 
  never 
  been 
  observed 
  by 
  me 
  in 
  this 
  portion 
  

   of 
  New 
  York, 
  except 
  upon 
  the 
  summit 
  of 
  the 
  Catskill 
  Moun- 
  

   tains. 
  

  

  Phasiane 
  trifasciata 
  of 
  the 
  list, 
  may 
  also 
  prove 
  to 
  belong 
  

   to 
  the 
  above, 
  — 
  its 
  only 
  other 
  recorded 
  locality 
  being 
  Berlin 
  

   Falls, 
  Me. 
  

  

  Of 
  the 
  species 
  cited 
  above, 
  Larentia 
  ccesiata, 
  Oporabia 
  cam- 
  

   bricaria, 
  Spargania 
  magnoliata, 
  Cidaria 
  Packardata 
  and 
  

   Melanippe 
  fluetuata 
  have 
  not 
  been 
  collected 
  in 
  the 
  vicinity 
  of 
  

   Albany. 
  

  

  Larentia 
  cossiata 
  from 
  this 
  locality, 
  is 
  an 
  interesting 
  acqui- 
  

   sition, 
  it 
  having 
  been 
  previously 
  reported 
  only 
  from 
  high 
  ele- 
  

   vations 
  or 
  northern 
  regions, 
  as 
  the 
  White 
  Mountains, 
  at 
  an 
  

   elevation 
  of 
  between 
  8,000 
  and 
  9,000 
  feet 
  in 
  Colorado, 
  Okak 
  

   in 
  northern 
  Labrador, 
  and 
  Caribou 
  Island 
  (Packard). 
  Guenee 
  

   states 
  that 
  it 
  has 
  the 
  widest 
  distribution 
  of 
  any 
  species 
  of 
  the 
  

   [Glaucopteryx, 
  Hubner] 
  group, 
  occurring 
  in 
  the 
  mountainous 
  

   regions 
  of 
  France, 
  Germany, 
  Italy, 
  Piedmont, 
  Scotland, 
  north 
  

   of 
  England, 
  Iceland, 
  etc., 
  in 
  barren 
  places 
  resting 
  on 
  rocks 
  

   and 
  the 
  trunks 
  of 
  trees. 
  From 
  its 
  range 
  of 
  variation, 
  differ- 
  

   ent 
  species 
  have 
  been 
  made 
  of 
  it, 
  as 
  infrequentata 
  Haw., 
  jfam- 
  

   cinctata 
  Steph., 
  etc. 
  

  

  Of 
  the 
  Noctuidse, 
  the 
  following 
  species 
  have 
  not 
  been 
  found 
  

   in 
  the 
  vicinity 
  of 
  Albany 
  : 
  

  

  a 
  Agrotis 
  Chardinyi, 
  Hadena 
  Hillii, 
  

  

  a 
  Agrotis 
  confirm, 
  a 
  Plusia 
  bimaculata, 
  

  

  Agrotis 
  perconflua, 
  a 
  Plusia 
  u-aureum, 
  

  

  Agrotis 
  rufipectus, 
  Plusia 
  mortuorum, 
  

  

  * 
  Agrotis 
  astricta, 
  Plusia 
  epigsea. 
  

   Dianthcecea 
  lustralis, 
  

  

  At 
  the 
  present, 
  we 
  can 
  only 
  venture 
  to 
  indicate 
  as 
  probable 
  

   subarctic 
  forms, 
  the 
  five 
  species 
  of 
  the 
  above 
  marked 
  a. 
  Of 
  

   these, 
  two 
  are 
  particularly 
  interesting, 
  from 
  their 
  northern 
  and 
  

   extended 
  distribution 
  and 
  their 
  occurrence 
  in 
  the 
  lower 
  Adi- 
  

   rondack 
  region. 
  Agrotis 
  C7iardinyi=(A. 
  gilvipennis 
  Gr.) 
  has 
  

   been 
  collected 
  in 
  several 
  examples 
  on 
  Anticosti 
  Island, 
  Gulf
