THE entomologist’s RECORD. 
ground in search of a pupating place. Sugar has attracted very well 
all the summer, excepting just when the lime trees were in blossom, and 
then Cosmia pyralina came to it all alone by itself. To-night, for 
instance, I am writing this after returning from sugaring, the result of 
which is 32 fine Xanthia citrago and a few Asphalia diluta and Catocala 
nupta^ besides netting Liiperhia cespitis and Tapmostola fiilva between 
times. The species I have taken at sugar this summer are as follows : —

August . — Noctua stig77iatica, Cos77iia pyralma, Caradrhia atsizies, C.

month. Other things were : — Xylophasia scolopacizia^ Cos77iia affi7iis^ C.

This month’s things are not much out yet, but up to now have come 
Xanthia citrago^ A?ichocelis rufina^ A. lituT'a^ Xanthia circellaris^ Hadena 
protea^ Asphalia diluta and Apa77iea leucostigzna, the last named in a 
beech wood high on the hill, and far away from any Iris or rush. 
Larvae also have been plentiful. EndroTTiis versicolor larvae from eggs 
found on birch fed up w'ell, and also several lots of the larvae which I 
found later, all are spun up. Remarkably like little bunches of sawflies 
these larvae are when young and when they separate, each one looks 
very like a great green catkin on the birch twigs I have also found 
larvae of Notodonta carTTielita on the birch. These were not sitting on 
the twigs as EndroTTiis versicolor does, but on the underside of the 
leaves, along the stalk and midrib, making the leaves hang heavy with 
their weight. By carefully searching maple, I got a good many larvae of 
Lophoptetyx cuculla resting or feeding always along the edge of the 
eaten leaf. In looking for these I found a larva of Acronycta {Cuspidia) 
alni sitting on the upper side of a maple leaf in a curved position, right 
in the middle of the leaf and looking very conspicuous. I searched
