A LIST OF MANITOBA MOTHS.–Part III

Extract

The Noctuids of this Province, as already known, make a very fair list, and include a number of rare moths, as well as a good percentage of new species. I have seen all Mr. E. F. Heath's things, and his additions to my list are quite numerous; these appear as taken at Carwright. The Rounthwaite records are Mr. L. E. Marmont's (I have seen his collection), and he has added some rare species. The Brandon records are in some cases my own, as I have visited there the last three summers; other are Mr. H. W. O. Boger's, of that place. I have seen paintings of a number of moths collected at the Douglas swamp by Mr. Criddle, of St. Alban's, Aweme, and these have given me a few extra names.

My best collecting here has been done at light, at Brandon on bloom on the prairies, and I have also had very fair success, both here and at Brandon, from sugaring late in the season (from the middle of August until early in October).
