common in the Rocky Mtns., from Colorado to British Am., which was 

 between Eurytheme and Philodice. 



In another paper in same vokime of Papilio, p. 173, I said of 

 Hagenii : " The color is yellow, lighter than is usual in Philodice, but 

 varies in that respect, many being very green, and a large percentage, 

 especially of the females, are not yellow, but of a peculiar shade, a sort 

 of buff-yellow (better chrome-yellow), a shade not seen in Philodice. 

 Considerably more than half the females, as reported by Mr. Nash, are 

 of this buff-yellow, and the males frequently show more or less of it, and 

 occasionally have a flush of orange. The markings of Hagenii resemble 

 those of Eurytheme and Philodice, in the discal spots, the extra-discal 

 points on both wings, the patch at outer angle, the shape of the black 

 borders ; but there is a closer resemblance in the borders of the females 

 to Eurytheme than to Philodice, these being very wide, and on hind wings 

 nearly reaching the cell, completely enclosing more or less definite yellow 

 spots." I also repeated what Mr. Mead had said, after a season spent in 

 Colorado, 187 1, that "if there could be such a thing as a yellow Eury- 

 theme, this was it." 



From 1883 to the present time I have embraced every opportunity to 

 get eggs of Hagenii, laid by the females in confinement, and as will be 

 seen, have raised many broods. Now I will give the results. 



1. On May it, 1884, received eggs of the first brood of the year. (1 

 say here that invariably the females that laid eggs have been sent with 

 them). From these obtained, between June 8th and 15th, 14 butterflies, 

 10 males, 4 females, all Hagenii. 



2. June 7, 1884, received eggs of second brood of the year. Result, 

 between 6th and 9th July, 15 butterflies, zW Ejcrythcme, 11 males, 4 

 females. Three of these females were albinos. 



3. June 27, 1884, received eggs. Result, 12 butterflies, 8 of them 

 Hagenii, 3 males, 5 females, 4 Eurytheme, females. 



4. 29th August and 3rd Sept., 1834, received eggs. Result, 1st to 

 3rd Oct , 5 Hagenii, 2 males, 3 females. 



5. This same year, 1884, I raised a brood of larvae from eggs of 

 Eurytheme received 27th June. Result, 9 butterflies, 6 being Eurytheme, 

 3 males, 3 females, and 3 Hagenii, 2 males, i female. 



6. 1885, May 18, received eggs of Hagenii. Result, 13th to i8th 

 June, 35 butterflies, all Hagenii, 20 males, 15 females. The females of 

 this brood were very large and most of them were deep colored.
