The season of 1896 was by far the best I have yet experienced in collecting Catocalas, such species as ilia, cerogama, uniguga, and parta (Fig. 24) being very common. During the past season I did not notice a single specimen of ilia. I understand that 0. cara was taken in Toronto last Panopoda rufimargo, taken at light. one specimen, Homoptera nigricans, one specimen at light. Bomolocha baltimoralis, 2 sp. at light. Brephos infans, one spec- / -- a imen taken on 11th April, and one observed on 16th j] April, 1898. I have brought to the meeting some of the species mentioned in my paper, also a few "uniques" which, as yet, I have not got identified.
