LASIOCAMPA QUERCUS. 109 



the insect is common everywhere, and appears to be typical quercus ; on the 

 other hand, Kane thinks that all the Irish specimens are referable to calhmae. 

 In Scotland it is very doubtful whether true quercus occurs, a few callunae 

 emerge the same year as pupation takes place, but there seems to be 

 no segregation of the physiological peculiarities characteristic of quercus, even in 

 the southern counties. Angles ea : Anglesea (Arkle). [Argyll : Kilberry
