In 1913 (Psyche Vol. 20 p. 170) the writer recorded a spe- cimen of M. interrupts Say, from Lake Boone, Stowe, Mass. This year the collection of the Boston Society of Natural History has been enriched by two additional specimens. The first was taken by Mr. Henry A. MacDonald at Lake Cochituate, Natick, Mass., July 3, 1925, and the second by Mr. E. J. French, at Nutting's Pond, Billerica, Mass., July 6, 1925. All three spe- cimens were taken on window screens.
In 1913 there was but one specimen of M. brunnea Say (Walpole, Mass.) in the Society's collection. Now there are the following additional specimens -Hampton, N. H., June 30, 1918 (S. A. Shaw), Milton, N. H. Aug. 20, 1923 (A. F. Magrew), Centerville, Mass., July 15 (C. J. Maynard) and Canton, Mass. June 25, 1919 (D. H. Linder).

On July 13, 1925 Professor Ulric Dahlgren captured at Salisbury Cove, Mt. Desert, Me. a specimen of the white-banded day-sphinx, Aellopos titans Cram. It is considered by some authors to be a variety of A. tantalus Linn. This is probably the most northern record for this southern species. There is also in the collection of the Boston Society of Natural History a specimen of this moth, taken at Cohasset, Mass., a number of years ago. C. W. JOHNSON.
