larly through the spots, the difference being purely one of 

 color. The scales of the spots are usually more notched than 

 the typical surface scale, but so also are all those in the vicinity 

 of the margin. 



The scales of the general surface, as illustrated in A Plate I, 

 closely approach the type form. They are broad usually with 

 a one or three lobed apex (2-3). In the case of the upper 

 surface of the forewing, all the scales are notched, those with 

 several sharp apices predominating. On the lower side of the 

 hind wing, there is seen a tendency toward a more rounded 

 condition of the lobes, and an alternation of the two and fcur 

 lobed types. On the upper side of the hind wing and the low- 

 er side of the forewing, however, an alternation of the one 

 and the three lobed types is conspicuous. 



The veins are covered and bordered with closely crowded 

 narrow scales, their width about one-fourth that of the typical 

 surface scale. These scales are usually black, though in regions 

 near the base of the wing, they are frequently brown or yellow. 

 On the lower surface, the scales bordering the veins are in- 

 terspersed with a few white ones. On the upper surface, dark-

er brown ones are mingled with the others. Here, too, the 

 vein scales almost invariably have entire margins, while on the 

 lower surface, they are notched A. 7-8.
