om tbem bas extracted a list of tbe Britisb species mentioned by

Qa Agestis ? P'^uni, 
dossier gives 47 species mentioned in ray first list, and 31 otbers

A few of tbe species, bowever, given in these lists, seem to have 
t in by some mistake ; for instance, Mr. Buckler found when he 
ed A Paphia from tbe egg, that the larva hatched in August, hyber- 
,d, and fed up in spring ; also in the case of G. Pamphilus, eggs laid 
May became perfect insects by the following August; perhaps, 
■ever Von Prittwitz may refer to the eggs laid by these August 
berflies As to Lyc<Bna Medon= Agestis (indicated with great doubt 
Von Prittwitz), Professor Zeller has elaborated its history with 
at care {v. E. M. M, vol. iv, p. 74) , and be there states that tbe larvse 
eh before August 31st, and hybernate in the same stage. 
Orthosia upsilon I know nothing about myself, but several of my 
mds tell me it hatches in September, and bybernates as a larva ; 
Ua nirocmcia has been the subject of notes by Messrs H Doubleday 
i C S. Gregson, at p. 90 and 116 of tbe current vol. of E. M. M.. 
d It appears that, whilst tbe latter gentleman gives it as a species 
beri^ating in the larva stage, Freyer and Milliere, as well as Kossler, 
iss it with those of which the eggs do not batch till spring. 
I ought to have been able personally to vouch for Cidaria pyrahata 
A fulvata, but tbey bad escaped my recollection.-J. H.
