Mr. Prout has examined the Geometrids and has made the following 
notes on them. 
Notes by L. B. Prout, F.E.S., on the Geometrids collected by 
Dr. T. A. Chapman, at Fusio. 
Total number of species about 40, comprising: Acidalia 6 species, 
3 ( fiaveolaria, incanata, fumata), more or less characteristically moun¬ 
tain species. Gnophos, 4 or 5 species ; the series of G. glaucinaria variable 
and interesting, the darkest example quite unequalled by anything in 
the very long series from the Zeller and Frey collections, not at all 
resembling the dark var. plumbeolaria, Stgr., from the Eheingau, which 
is of quite a different tone and much less sharply marked ; the 3 
G.dilucidaria ! also variable and seem very sharply marked, and the top 
two of rather a white, glossy ground-colour. Dasydia tenebraria $ , 
high Alpine species, Frey gives its distribution from 9000' to beyond 
10,000'. The example is intermediate between the almost unicolorous 
type and the whitish-banded ab. ton-aria, Hb. Psodos. —This interest¬ 
ing alpine genus is represented by 4, if not by the whole of the 5 known 
species. The top specimen is somewhat puzzling, and seems to me 
to be nearest a weakly marked aberration of the local altieolaria, 
Mann, a species apparently confined to the highest Alps of Piedmont, 
Switzerland and the Tyrol, and usually strongly marked with whitish 
bands. Of P. coracina, which Frey gives as common, from Valais to 
Stelvio, up to 7500' elevation, there are only 2. Of P. trepidaria there 
are 3 ; Frey says it “ hardly varies at all,” but these are interesting as 
being a good deal darker than any of his. Of P. alpinata ( horridaria ), 
which is common up to the same limit as its congeners, there are 8, 
including one 5 . But the longest series (12) is in the handsome, 
though not particularly variable, P. quadrifaria, a widely distributed 
but local species, from 4500' to far above 7000', Frey. Cleoyene .— 
Another characteristically alpine species, C. lutearia, represented (from
