THE CANADIAN ENTOMOLOGIST. 231 



July, I found this insect easy to capture. It was comparatively rare in 

 some districts of the North-west Territory, but at the principal crossing 

 of the Red Deer River and the neighborhood of Fort Edmonton, it was 

 quite common. When the orange lilies of the piairies, Lilium Philadel- 

 phiaivi, were in bloom, I took many specimens of both sexes upon these 

 flowers, and could approach them quite easily with the killing bottle, and 

 so avoid the necessity of using a net and running the chances of rubbing 

 their wings. Mr. Edwards has figured this species in Part I., Vol. III., 

 of the " Butterflies of North America." 



2. Arg. Cybele, F. 



Taken at Edmonton and surrounding country, flying in company with 

 Lais and attracted by the blossoms of the numerous vetches which occur 

 in that district. 



3. A. CoRONis, Eehr. 



This beautiful insect I found most common at Fort Macleod, but I 

 also took specimens in the Kicking Horse Pass, and at Calgary, 100 miles 

 north. Here they were not by any means plentiful. It occurs princi- 

 pally late in the season when the harvesting is going on, and when the 

 Golden Rod is in bloom. At the entrance to the Kootenay Pass many 

 perfect specimens were taken. The specimens captured were very vari- 

 able, and one was thought by Mr. Edwards to be new ; it turned out 

 however to be Coronis. The specimen was called by him Arg. Baucis, 

 and is now in the collection of Mr. Henley Grose Smith, Isle of Wight. 



4. A. Chariclea, Schneid. 



5. A. BoiSDUVALLii, Somm. 



I took both these species in the Crow Nest Pass, and both at great 

 altitudes. Strange to say, I saw none of them in the foot-hills, or the 

 rolling prairie, but last summer Arg. Cliariclea appeared in large numbers 

 in the hills at Port Arthur, Lake Superior. It would be useful to know 

 from any members of the Society what their observations have been 

 regarding the localities of these species. They seem to be in perfect 

 order all through the summer, and quite like A. Myrifia in this respect. 



6. A. Atlantis, Edw. 



This species occurred in all parts of the Mountains, and was at its 

 best in the early part of July.
