and there among the flowers, and after sometime, succeeded in cap- 

 turing one, without a net, which proved to be C. eubule. I saw as 

 many as twelve more hovering hither and thither among the flowers 

 for over half an hour, at the end of which time I went sailing ; but 

 curiously there was no sign of a single one of these insects on the 

 two following days ; where they came from and went to is a mystery. 

 IV. Limenitis artheinis. During the past summer I have seen as 

 many as five of these insects in Milton, Mass., but have not seen even 

 one there before in the past twelve summers. I also saw eight of 

 this species on Mount Desert Island, Maine, during August, where 

 I have seen only one before during the past ten years in August. It 

 seems possible that this insect may be migrating towards the coast and 

 to the southward. GEORGE R. MINOT, 188 Maryborough St., Boston,
