Representatives of two new species of Homoneura from South Dakata were recently sent to me for description by Mr. George Steyskal of Detroit. Examination of unnamed material in the National Collection showed that these two species were also represented by Canadian material.

While engaged on an Insect Faunal Survey with Mr. W. J. Brown in the northeastern section of New Brunswick, we ran across a very interesting race of Coenonympha inornata on the salt marshes a few miles north of Bathurst. The butterflies were emerging in large numbers during the first week of August, a very late date for Coenonymphas, and were very definitely restricted to the salt meadows or marshes which lie just back of the coast in this region.

On July 14, 1937, an infestation of Philadelphus (Mock Orange or Syringa) by a leaf miner was observed on the grounds of the Dominion Parasite Laboratory, Belleville, Ont.
