variegated with white. (Adapted from Porritt.)

The moth comes to ivy bloom, sugar, etc., in September and October, and
even later if the weather is mild. After hibernation it reappears as early
as February, and visits the sallows as soon as the catkins open.

Although it seems to be absent from the eastern counties, except
Cambridge--where, however, it is scarce--this species is found in most of
the other counties mentioned for the last species. It is generally more
plentiful, especially in the west. Occasionally specimens have been taken
in Cumberland, and single examples have been recorded from the Liverpool
and Hartlepool districts. It seems to be not uncommon in South Wales, and
has been reported from Capel Curig, in Carnarvonshire. As regards Ireland,
Kane says that there are few Irish localities where this species is not
found.

THE CONFORMIST (_Graptolitha_ (_Xylina_) _furcifera_).

The typical form of this species has the fore wings of a pale slaty grey
colour; this, however, does not seem to occur in Britain. Our form, var.
_suffusa_, Tutt (shown on Plate 13, Figs. 1 and 2), is much darker grey
with blackish mottling, a yellowish mark at the base and a reddish cloud in
the reniform stigma; the outer area is more or less tinged with violet, and
this tint sometimes spreads over the whole of the fore wings; {30} the
inner margin is tinged with reddish orange at the base, or along the basal
half, and there are some clouds of the same colour on the black submarginal
line. This is _conformis_ of British authors.

The caterpillar (drawn from a skin, Plate 8, Fig. 1) is olive brown, tinged
with green above, and paler brown, tinged with pink beneath; the dots are
yellowish in black circles, and there is a dark olive-brown mark on ring 1;
there are three yellow lines along the back, the central one interrupted by
darker brown freckles, clustered so as to form a
and stripe - like; the line along the spiracles is yellow. capitulum, pale fleeceable, 
 variegated with white. (adapt from Porritt .) 

 The moth arrive to ivy bloom, sugar, etc. , in September and October, and 
 even by and by if the weather is balmy. After hibernation it reappears equally early on 
 as February, and visits the sallows equally soon as the catkins open. 

 Although it appear to be lacking from the eastern counties, except 
 Cambridge -- where, however, it is scarce -- this coinage is found in most of 
 the early county mentioned for the last species. It is broadly more 
 plentiful, especially in the west. Occasionally specimen have been taken 
 in Cumberland, and individual examples have been recorded from the Liverpool 
 and Hartlepool districts. It seems to be not uncommon in South Wales, and 
 has been report from Capel Curig, in Carnarvonshire. As regards Ireland, 
 Kane says that there are few Irish localities where this species is not
