but seldom met with. I have but two specimens of muelleri 

 in my collections ; however, in the fall of 1904, Mr. Cottle cap- 

 tured seven fine examples of the aberration in his garden. 

 Perhaps the best method of finding it is to pay regular visits 

 in the fall to those parks where the ordinary caryae is abun- 

 dant, and thus possibly two or three specimens of muelleri may 

 be taken in half as many years. 



15. Junonia coenia Hbn. 



One specimen observed in the Lake Merced region Septem- 

 ber 9, 1909. Occasionally seen in Golden Gate Park, but 

 probably only a visitor here. 



16 Limenitis lorquini Bdv. 



Occurs sparingly in the Lake Merced region. 



17. Heierochroa californica Butler. 



Occasionally seen. It probably breeds in the oak thickets. 



1 8. Satyrus sthenele Bdv. 



Dr. Behr says of this insect (Proc. Cal. Acad. Sciences; III, 

 p. 163, 1864) : "Is rather common near San Francisco, where 

 it is found in June. Only one generation annually." Near 

 San Francisco in 1864 is at present within the city limits. 

 This insect, to the best of my knowledge, has not been taken 

 here within the last 30 years or more. Mr. Cottle says that 

 the locality given him by Dr. Behr as the habitat of sthenele 

 is in Golden Gate Park, south of Strawberry Hill. This re- 

 gion, though quite grassy in places, has been much disturbed 

 by man, and is now clothed for the most part with various 

 trees, as Finns radiata, Acaciae, etc. I believe the butterfly 

 extinct here. 



19 Coenonympha California Db. and Hew. 



Have seen this insect quite close to the southern boundary 

 line of the city, and Mr. Cottle says that it occurs south of 

 Golden Gate Park, where there are many apparently suitable 

 localities for it. 



20. Thecla melinus Bdv. 



I took one example of this Hair-streak at Lake Merced. It 

 has several times been observed in the city.
