It was indeed sad news which reached Ottawa on April 17, 1934, announcing the death earlier in the day of Eric Hearle, a most valuable officer of the Dominion Entomological Service. Mr. Hearle's health had been indifferent for some five years but he did not realize his condition until early January of 1933 when he attended meetings of dairymen and veterinarians at the coast and the effort in this regard affected his health to such an extent that on the advice of a Vancouver heart specialist he went to bed for several months, after which he was granted extended leave from continuous official duties.

In the latter part of May, 1933, larvae of this species were found feeding in the leaves of Hieracium scoueri Hook. Their presence was easily detected by the great distortion caused to the leaves, which were webbed together, particularly at the terminal ends, thus arresting normal development. All were collected at Pullman, Washington, by the writer.

In my paper on the nymph of Cinygma integrum (1933, Can. Ent. LXV, 73) there is a rather serious error which I wish to correct. At the time my material was limited to a single nymphal exuvia; now with the mature nymphs and more exuviae at my disposal I find that the peculiar nature of the maxillae, as described and figured in the above paper, was abnormal and probably brought about by contraction occurring during the process of making a slide of the mouth-parts.

Fifty years have elapsed since the publication of Fernald's ”Butterflies of Maine.” In the meantime, many new records have been made and the number of species reported from the state has increased from sixty-nine to over one hundred.
