Mr. Fred. Tepper has just sent me for examination a very interesting pair of insects taken on the sea shore of Long Island, which approach so nearly the type of O. chandleriin my colle ction from the mountains of Colorado, that I cannot separate them specilically, although there are certain differences, v'hich I give below. The capture is the more valuable since the species of Oncocnemis, so far as known, inhabit only the mountains of Europe, Siberia, Colorado and California.

Both sexes of a species of Pachnobia have been collected by Mr. Geo Norman, at Orilla, which I propose to call by the name of orilliana. It is evidently allied to Agrotis hyperborea, which I know only from Milliére's and Herrich-Schaeffer's illustrations. It looks at first sight like a species of Graphiphora (Taeniocampa).

All the tibiae are spinose. The head is sunken, eyes naked, abdomen short. The wings are wide, the male antennae shortly pectinate, serose. The color is not unlike that of Graph. incerta, but more olivaceous.

Eyes naked, with short lashes. Antennæ in the female simple. Palpi gray, the third joint very short. Collar whitish beneath, above bearing a transverse, partially interrupted black line. Thorax mingled light and dark gray; no prothoracic tuft, metathoracic tuft low and longitudinally furrowed; sides of the thorax deep black and very conspicuous. Abdomen light gray, with several slight dorsal black tufts, and one very strong one, tipped with white on the third segment.

As supplementary to my remarks on this pretty creature in the August number of the Can. Ent., I would say thaton June 6th a friend gave me a captured female Luna. For two or three nights I used her as a trap to entangle unwary males, but in vain as far as my cabinet was concerned; the weather was cold. On the 7th,8th and 9th, during the silent watches of the night, she deposited in her place of confinement, in all, about 100 eggs of a dark brown or chocolate color, flattened at the sides, smooth and about .005 of an inch in length: the sides were of a lighter shade.

On Dominion Day, while at Chateaueuay Basin, I collected a number of larvæ which were found feeding on nettle. I secured them in my larva box, and took a quantity of the food-plant with me. When I reached home in the evening I was too busy to examine them carefully, and the next day I found that quite a lot of them had changed to chrysalids.
