were of interest. I am greatly indebted to Mr. Williams and 

 Mr. Grinnell for their lists and for other help, and also to Mr. 

 E. A. McGregor, of Stanford University, who very kindly 

 identified a number of plants for me. 



1. Danais plexippus L. 



Not very common at Deer Park during July and August. 

 I took a female at Five Lakes (7540 ft.), above Deer Park, 

 on June 7, 1908, flying over the snow. 



2. Argynnis leto Behr. 



I took several specimens of this fine Argynnid about the 

 middle of August at Glen Alpine (6800 ft.). Mr. Grinnell has 

 a female taken at Fallen Leaf Lake, in the Glen Alpine region, 

 on July 15, and Mr. Williams noted a few in July. Leto is 

 always on the alert, and is as difficult to capture as any butter- 

 fly I know. 



3. Argynnis monticola Behr. 



This is very common in the Canadian zone from July until 

 September, and is easily taken on flowers or about the edges of 

 streams. 



4. Argynnis coronis Behr. 



Not very common, and found in the Canadian zone during 

 July and August. Curiously, all my specimens are females. 



5. Argynnis egleis Bdv. 



Egleis is even commoner than monticola, and occurs at all 

 elevations. It may be found from June until September. The 

 spots of the under side in both sexes may be either buff or sil- 

 vered, and the ground color varies somewhat. 



6. Argynnis epithore Bdv. 



Not a very common species. Occurs from early June until 

 August in the Canadian zone. 



7. Melitaea macglashanii Rivers. 



The types of this species came from Truckee (fifteen miles 

 north of Lake Tahoe), where it is quite common. I took sev- 

 eral males and one female at Deer Park (6200 ft.) during June 

 and July. I also took a male on Squaw Peak (8200 ft.), July 

 16.
