At Stone Mountain, Georgia, adults were occasional and the young 

 fairly abundant in the frequent areas of bunch-grass on the mountain. 



Specimens from high elevations in Georgia are typical of the 

 species. Those from Stone Mountain and its vicinity show a slight 

 approach toward the southeastern race. 



The present form is found southward on the Atlantic coast as 

 far as southern Virginia, south of this its southeastern distribution 

 does not extend down from the Appalachians as far as the fall line. 

 Its range probably extends eastward along the Gulf Coast from 

 Texas as far as Alabama, for in that State, Morse secured intermediates 

 between it and the southeastern race at Flomaton. Material 

 previously recorded by us from Newbern, North Carolina, 92 is really 

 intermediate and shows a closer affinity to the southeastern race.

We find the specimens from Wright sville and Winter Park to be 

 intermediate between the present geographic race and M. femur- 

 rubrum. We have typical examples of the present insect from as 

 far north as Lake Waccamaw. Scudder includes specimens from 

 Pungo Bluff, North Carolina, in his typical material of the present 

 insect, but these specimens are intermediates. Differences in the male
