Very nearly a year has now gone by since the Canadian Entomologist was ushered into existence, and it has at length safely arrived at the close of its first volume. Of infantile dimensions it has crawled along through the months of babyhood, at times putting forth a little more strength and marks of growth, until now it feels able to stand upon its feet and assert its intention of living and growing, even though it may but toddle along, for a little time longer. Of course with an increase of size, it will display an enlarged appetite, not only for scientific and literary contribution, but also for the baser, but by no means less essential, sustenance of dollars and cents.

Several years ago my esteemed friend, Mr. D. W. Beadle, of St. Catharines, sent me specimens of this larva, which he had taken feeding on some species of Gnaphalium. No description was then taken, and the larva was not met with again until the present season, when I found it on the G.W.R.R. track,a mile east of London, feeding on Gnaphalium polycephalum.
