De Y. Kane attributes the scarcity of Lepidoptera in 1883 to the mild 
winter, rendering their enemies more numerous and destructive to pupae, 
to the storms dislodging tree-feeding larvae, and to the unusual atmo- 
spheric conditions deranging the usual time of appearance of species; 
Ent. xvi. pp. 52-55.
