 of the original copy and in ke^iping with thn 
 filming contract specificatione. 
 
 Original copies in printed paper covers are filmed 
 beginning with the front cover and ending on 
 the last page with a printed or illustrated impres- 
 sion, or the back cover when appropriate. All 
 other original copies are filmed beginning on the 
 first page with a printed or illustrated impres- 
 sion, and ending on the last page with a printed 
 or illustrated impression. 
 
 Th^ last recorded frame on each microfiche 
 shall contain the symbol —►(meaning "CON- 
 TINUED"), or the symbol V (meaning "END"), 
 whichev?'' applies. 
 
 Maps, plates, charts, etc., may be filmed at 
 different reductiod ratios. Those too large to be 
 entirely included in one exposure are filmed 
 beginning in the upper left hand corner, left to 
 right and top to bottom, as many frames as 
 required. The following diagrams illustrate the 
 method:

 plete elaHslflcatlon of the Futnily, an<l one which han hiconie tlio basis of our know- 
 1«!(Ikc on this subject. In May, 1H"J, I j)ubllshetl alUtof the Nortli American species, 
 dasslfylnn tliem as noailyas I couli-l aeeonllntr to Lederei's mutho<l, which I hu<l 
 iipplletl to inuny of tin; species in a numl)er of papers previously pul)llshe(l In 
 various scientitlc Journals. 
 
 The compound eyea are either naked (Aifi-ntlt. Jladrna vie.) or their 'uiifac^. Is 
 stud«led with lmlv{ Mam enlra, Anartti, JIvlioi>hila et<i.). Tliov are souietlnies provided 
 on the upper nuir^in with lon^ iiairs (\Vinipt>rn); I have ti.tiiressed this cliaracter 
 l)y the translation '-lashes". These lasluts are easily confounded with tlie usually 
 discclorous scales lyiuK back of the compound eye, and, on occasion, I liave made 
 the mistake myself. The ocelli, or simple eyes, are present with but out except- 
 ion In tlio North American ycctiietifae v. ft-, Feralia joeosa, but as they are ubH(>nt 
 in two or three European genera, according to Authors, they are not an Invaiable 
 character of tlie group; they are wanting In the small grou|) Xoctua- Phalarnidi. 
 Tlio tibiae or slumks are either without spines over tlie Joint, or they are pi'ovided 
 witli them; sometimes (Aditu, Oncijcnemis, Dimpis etc.) there Is a terminal long 
 claw at the end of the front tlbhie; again there is a succession of spines ending 
 in a claw, as in the genera alllc(i to Heliothis. Tl)e vestlture of tlie thorax is some- 
 times mass(!d in lu'ts in front and behind (Mame.stya), somctiim's plain {G'rupliij)- 
 /loraete.), sometimes tliere is a small tuft behind tlie collar (Cn.piiimplia, Xanthla 
 etc.); there Is also a ridge of scales In some s|)ecies now classed under Apriitin. 
 The dorsum of the aijdonien is often bare of tufts {A(/rnlii), or has merely u basal 
 tuft, and again a ^•ueces8ion of tufts {Mamcutra etc.). The collar in front of the 
 thorax is occasionally pulTed up meillally (Cucultia), but usually only feebly pro- 
 jected. Tlie tuftings take on ilitterent shapes; /•?«?«'« has a spreading t''.Gr.".C'ic tnfi, 
 Jichrensia a fan-shaped one on the alidomen centrally. J'erfect specimens arc 
 needed to ol)s(!rve these characters and their full value Is perhups not yet estab- 
 lished. The wings have the outer margin sometimes even (e.g. I'lusiu) sometimes 
 uneven (IScopelosoma), rarely anguhited (Ncoliopter/jx). The neuratlon is subject to 
 feeble modifications. The primary cell is undivided, vein 5 usuiilly nearer 4 than 
 fi; there is almost always a small accessory cell, and there is a certain amount of 
 variation in tlie position of ve'ns T and 8. In the males o{ HcHuchilus and Ph-raetholix 
 the neuratlon Is aberrant. On the hind wings vein * has a peculiar jiossition in the 
 Bomhyciae. In the male the seconduiles are provided wltli a simple bristle, which 
 in the opposite sex iscom|)Ound; I have suf ?8ted that this bristle is a specialized 
 vein. The clypeus or front of the head is us^. y smooth, sometimes with a projection 
 {Ochria, Arzavia), again with a cup- or heart-shaped depression (JSlilnulitim, Playio- 
 TJiirniCM.v), In the genus Fala, these characters are apparently united; again the surface 
 is roughened or tuberculate. The vestlture of tlie thorax Is either scaley (Jaxpideu, 
 Tarachc), or Imiry (Anuria, etc ), or again consists of scales and hair; 1 have used this 
 character to distinguish otherwise related <enera as Tamila and Heliothis. As a rule 
 the clothing of the body Is more appressed and thinner in tlie southern forms, more 
 shaggy ill the Northern. The three-Jointed labial jialpi show a slight variation in 
 position, sufficient to give at times :i geneilc character; in the sub-group Fasciatae 
 the third joint is usually elongated; in the sub-group Delt.nides the palpi are occasion- 
 ally thrown backward over the thorax and disproportionately long. Tlie antennae 
 are setose or brush-like, simple, subpectinate or feathered, especially in the males; 
 
- 22 
 
 in ti few genera ( lienia etc.) tlioy possess ti single tuft or coil of Imir; in Si/lectra tli y 
 lm>e li peculinr structnie. The spiral tongue vtiiies in lelativc lengtli and stoutness. 
 Tlie ovipositor is sonietiines extended {Dianthoccia, Parastichtis, Gtaj)hiphora), usu- 
 ally concealed.

 II. 
 
 On the Geoffraphical Distrihu'ion of the Nortuae. 
 
 Out of aliout tweUc hundred North American species of Xoctuae, less than thirty 
 (if we except a few Arctic species) arc considered identical with European forms. 
 The degree of relationship is variously expressed . Some species are verj' nearly alike, 
 so thatii piacticed eye k needed to distinguish the forms from the remote localities. 
 Again the differences are more or less evhlent, while the great mass of the species 
 atlmit of no very near comparison. These facts seem to point to a nearer common 
 or'giii for certain American and Kuropean Xoctuae, and it has even been suggested 
 that the faunae have become separated by the submerirence of an Atlantis. I think 
 that the European and North American Noctuae are in part desc<!nded from species 
 living over a comuion territory and that tlie Glacial Epoeli lias separated the stocks 
 and, perhaps, indu-xHi local modillcation on either side of the Atlantic. The climate 
 of the n.irthcrn portions of the two continents is shown to liave been much hotter 
 during the Tertiary than it is at present. The species, not introduced l)y commerce, 
 which arc shown to be tlie same on both sides of ihe Atlantic, are, then, the un- 
 modified decendants of pre-glacial species; .just as 1 have suggested that the Alpine 
 faunae of tlie Wliite and Kocky Mountains are the relica of a fauna which followed 
 the jre-wava back to tlie North during the opening of the Quaternary. The time may 
 come whene a phyllogenetlc sketch of the species will be a posslI>llity ; at present we 
 are only commencing to entain the idea that species are phenomena of succession. 
 
 On tlie whole the species East of the Rocky Mountains and as far as Texas, have 
 a common fades, nevertheiess there is a gradual replacement as we go southward 
 where the sub-groups Faxeialae and Delloidr.t become more prevalent. In the 
 ditferont genera there is room for interesting remarks already on the subject of their 
 distribution; but the dativ are everywhere iniiierfect, the authority frequently doubt- 
 ful, s<> that an ex))osition of tlie facts recorded as yet does not seem to otter probable 
 conclusions. One interesting fact is here restated. All o..i Eastern species referred 
 in this List, I believe coii-ectly, to Gor.'.wna Ilubn. (non Led.), have a smooth front 
 and are therefore not congeneric witli the European Ochriaflava<jo Hubn. whic'.i has 
 nclypeal protuberance, an.d is the sole European species of its genus. But ;n Cali- 
 fornia there is a second l.lnd of Othvia, witli a horned cls'jieus, named by me Octiria 
 Sfuzalitac, and discovered by my friend Mr. James Beiirens. This Califi.-rr.iaii 
 species resembles in ornamentation the Eastern species of Gortyna with smooth 
 fronts, and does not resemble in this respect its European congener. And tliere is 
 a single Nortli American Gortjiva from the East, with a smootli front, Gortyna 
 ratnphracta, which res(>nd)lefs in ornamentation the European Oehria flavago which 
 has a horned elypeus. This opens up the oueslions of t'.ie value of structural charact- 
 ers, and the relation of structure to habit; for the liorned elypeus doubtless is 
 correlated with the habits of the moth Is it possible that the liornless Gortyna 
 calaphracta is genetically more immediately connected witli the horned Oehria fla- 
 vaffo, than Is the horned t'ulifornian sp* jies wliich we now more intimately associate 
 Willi tlie European form? 
 
 .Such inquiries arc beyond the limits of my jireseiit space, nor can I suggest as yet 
 but few of them. But 1 am plad to show there are quesi ions of g(!iieral import sug- 
 gesttJd by these smaller animals, and that the study of Entomology is wider than the 
 more whims of collectors of insects.

 I have examined the unset specimen sent me as the type of Dryohota fihnlala 
 by Mr. Morrison. The oyt's fire unlashed and I wonkl refer the species to Hadeva; 
 however I could find no essential differences between it and my leucuscelis, which

 Hadena aneocisconensis Morrison. 
 
 The unpet $ type of this species, described as from "Glen Valley, Mt. Washing- 
 ton, N. H", has been sent to me by Jlr. Morrison for examination. It is the common 
 Hiippa xfiUnoides of Guenee, already redesisribed by Walker as X)/lina contraria. 
 The extraordinary speeitte namt?, taken from Hari-ia' Ciclndcla anc, is irrelevant. In 
 different papers, regarding the AVhlte Mountain faunae, I have taken the ground that 
 it was "unsaf(!'' for Mr. Morrison, with his knowledge of the subject, to dese.lbe 
 new species from that region. 1 instanced Agr. island'ca, redescribed by him as 
 opipara Morr. The present instance additionally vindicates my expression and 
 Justifies my criticism.

 Af/rotis feuiseca Harvey (n. s.). 
 
 $. Three male specimens from California, received by the Buffalo .Society of 
 Xatural i^ciences from 3Ir -James IJehrens, belong to a new species allied to fusciijera. 
 The color and marking, of the lore wings of the species are closely similar, but the 
 hind wings are pure white in /eni.«eco, reflecting the di seal spot from beneath, and 
 with white fringes and a broken black terminal line. The antennae are more length- 
 ily ciliate, IjrushliUe, sub-pectinate. Vvitm Itileyanu, the new species ditlers bj' the
