£?. Snbmarginal bnflF spots of underside of forewiug separate, bnt in small 

 spring specimens more or less continaous. Black abdominal border of hiiidwing 

 narrower than the 3-ellow interspace between it and the cell. 



The third black band of the forewing, above, varies from being restricted to 

 the cell to being extended a little beyond M-, in most specimens not ijnite reaching 

 M-. The band situated on or beyond the cross-veins bears occasionally several 

 yellow spots. The first snbmarginal spot is rarely absent from the uppersidc. 

 The black markings of the iipperside are occasionally so much extended as to 

 occupy the greater part of the wing. The melanism of these males, of which 

 several have been described, is not the same as that of the females, in the black 

 female the grotind-colour having assumed a blackish or brown tint, the bands 

 remaining normal, while in these black males the bands are extended. 



¥ . The form resembling the male is the ordinary one in the northern districts 

 of the range, while in the southern districts the dark form is the more frequent of 

 the two. Intermediate specimens are comparatively rare. Specimens have been 

 recorded in which the left side resembles the one female, while the right side 

 resembles the other. 



We have four females which are intermediate between tlie two female forms. 

 In one of them (New Jersey, July 1898), a black female, the postdiscal area of the 

 hindwing is more or less ochraceous in posterior half of wing, both alwve and 

 below. The second black female (Staten Island, August 1901) has traces of the 

 yellow ground-colour on both wings, especially on the underside. The third 

 specimen (.Jeiferson Co., Kentucky, September 1897, C. R. Troxler, senr.) is much 

 more extended yellow than the second, especially on the disc of the hindwing. 

 The fourth female has the yellow parts merely shaded with black (Baltimore, 

 August 1894). The two forms of the female may conveniently be referred to as 

 ?-f. ylaucus and ¥-f. turnus.
