104 THE CANADIAN ENTOMOLOGIST. 



four on the forest road south of the Glen, and abundantly beyond Emery's. 



The larvre of Cinclidia harrisii were found feeding on Diplopappus, 

 in the penultimate and final stages, in a dozen different localities in the 

 Glen. They were apparently just about as forward as they were on the 

 previous visit, only then they were found at Gorham, which, though 

 farther to the north, is 800 feet lower than the Glen, and in a broader, 

 more open valley, where the spring opens slightly earlier than at the Glen. 

 The caterpillars taken this year went into chrysalis between June 7 and 

 13, and emerged June 21-27. 



Though half a hundred plants of Loricera by the roadside were 

 searched for Euphydryas phaeton, this species was not found as on the 

 previous occasion, nor did any of the plants appear to have been eaten. 



During the first half of our stay, CyaJiiris pseiidargiohis lucia was the 

 most abundant butterfly, and though afterwards it did not diminish, it was 

 supplanted by the increasing numbers of the next species. Yet when 

 most abundant its numbers by no means equalled those at my former 

 visit, and at no time were more than five or six seen at once. On the last 

 day, south of Emery's only a couple of specimens were seen, so that the 

 first brood was disappearing ; all were of the form lucia or heavily marked 

 violacea. Females were enclosed over Amelanchier, Vacciniiim and 

 Cornus, and laid, abundantly on the first two, but not on the last. When 

 the larvae emerged, however, they would not touch either Ainelanchier or 

 Vaccinium. 



In the last half of our visit Lycaena americana was the commonest 

 butterfly. It was the first seen in the morning, the last in the afternoon, 

 and appeared everywhere excepting in Tuckerman's Ravine and above 

 timber on Mt. Washington, though seen once on the latter. Not a speci- 

 men was seen on my previous visit. 



Three specimens of Feiiiseca tarquinius were taken, and others were 

 seen ; one of the two females taken, old and battered, was left three days 

 enclosed over a branch of Alnus, on which were numerous young and fat 

 Coccidce (none with Aphides were discoverable), but no eggs were laid ; 

 the other taken the last day, died on the way home, with numerous eggs 

 in her abdomen. 



Eurymus philodice was tolerably common every day, and increasingly 

 so. On my previous spring visit none were seen. Two specimens were 

 seen in the alpine zone of Mt. Washington, and one in Tuckerman's
