The following paper is presented in order to get into shape the notes made by me at odd times for the five years last past. It includes, in the first place, all the references that I found to the species during that time, and such notes of synonymic interest as I have culled from teh publications examined. It has also been my practice, as specimens came into my hands, to use as were unfit for the cabinet, for purposes of study, and I have thus accumulated a great many notes, which I see no opportunity of using for some time to come, inasmuch as my studies on the Noctuidœ will probably fill very completely all the time I have for systematic work.
