of the exterior margin, but widens considerably as it approaches 

 the apex; this border and tin- immaculate secondaries aiv ot a 

 light cinnamon-brown color. There is a brownish black streak 

 running along the interior margin of underside of primari. -s. 

 The female is larger and the colors of a lighter shade and not as 

 well defined as in the male. On the upperside it resembles P. 

 hobomok\ and beneath P. delaware, except in color. Largest 

 specimen 9 expands \}/ inch, and the smallest i inch. De- 

 scribed from 7 i 9. It is IK. more than proper that Mr. 

 Aaron should have one of his pets called after him, thus the name 

 emanated. The specimens were found in company with P. pano- 

 quin, feeding on the flowers of Staticc limonium var. America- 

 mini, which grows in the salt meadows, but was quite rare and 

 exceedingly wild and difficult to rapture, making off in a straight 

 line when any movement was made near it. The seven specimens 

 represented about ten days careful collecting. 



THL LIMITF.I) RANGE OF SATYRUS ALOPE. 



Without having given the subject any thought or study I had 

 been under the impression that the greater number of species ot 

 butterflies had no fixed abode or dwelling-place, but were prac- 

 tically unrestricted in their range, going here, there and every- 

 where in search of food or pleasure. While on a tramp one day 

 and only incidentally looking for insects, not having my net with 

 me, I saw fluttering in and around a small clump of holly bushes a 

 beautiful specimen of Satyrus alof><\ uhidi evidently had only 

 been a short time from the chrysalis: it alighted, and I endeav- 

 ored to secure it by taking hold of the tips of the wings between 

 the thumb and index finger, when it violently flapped them and 

 left the tips as a souvenir. This spot and its neighborhood 

 proved an excellent collecting-ground, and I subsequently visited 

 it frequently, and each time saw the -a me it /<>/>< in the same clump 

 of bushes. I saw other specimens of the same species here 

 which I learned to recognize from peculiarities in the way they 

 \\ere rubbed, etc., as most of the >p ( -cimens at this time were 

 badly tlown. I made this species the subject of -cine Mudy at 

 the time, and came to the com lusion that it undergoes its trans- 

 formations and lives its entire life in a very restricted area. A 

 form with one ocellus is found at ('ape May, which Mr. Kdwards 

 thinks is not f>cga/a< but a variety ot
