drus decurrens, Ouercus chrysolepis, and Conothus divaricatus. 

 The zones represented are the Lower and Upper Transition. 



The butterflies listed below have been mainly the results of 

 the writer's many collecting trips to the summit, for several 

 years past, in May, June, July and August. The list is surely 

 not complete, but will serve as an incentive for more and better 

 work in the future. Earlier collecting would quite surely add 

 species. 



The scenery is so grand and inspiring, the air so clear and 

 bracing, nature so joyous and absorbing, that as each summer 

 vacation approaches, an irresistable impulse is felt for another 

 quiet, lone intercourse with this grand old monarch of time.
