I HAVE observed that Lim. obsoleta had three broods here the past 

 season, in April, June, and September. The first and second brood of 

 larvae of this quite scarce Lepidopter feed on Salix fluviatilis and the 

 autumn larvae on Populus fremontii, our cottonwood. 



During September I took five or six specimens of Thecla incs, a Mex- 

 ican species, and rarely taken in Arizona or Southern California, so Mr. 

 W. G. Wright has informed me. Two or three I took on alfalfa, and 

 the others on sunflower. DR. R. E. KUN/.E, Phoenix, Arizona.
