The following are rough notes on the occurrence and capture of 

 Diurni, etc., during 1894, about my farm in Manitoba : — 

 April 22nd — I first noticed hibernated specimens of V. antiopa and 



V. milberti flying about in the sunshine. 

 " 26th — In the evening I took several Noctuse, some apparently 



belonging to the genus Tseniocampa, and also a dark gray 



moth, flying about the breaking catkins of the white poplar. 



Also on several evenings subsequently. 

 May 1 8th — Lycce?ia Couperii io\tra.h\y abundant, and L. pseudargiolus- 



neglecta just appearing. 

 " iJ3rd — L. Couperii, Nisoniades juvenalis, l^rizo and icelus abundant 



on the flowers of the Bear-berry {Arctostaphylos uva-ursi). 



At the same time I took the only specimen of Thecla 



atigustus I have y:et seen. Lyc(zna ainyjitula beginning to 



make its appearance. 



" 27th — First noticed A. myrina. 



" 28th — Pnyciodes carlota and Colias eurytheme made their appear- 

 ance. 



" 30th — Papilio turnus, several, but not nearly so numerous as in 1893. 



" 3 1 St — I found on a small patch of prairie (on which a certain grass, 

 the name of which I do not know, seemed abundant) 

 several specimens of Amblyscirtes vialis^ which I had not 

 seen for several years. Danais archippus seen for the first 

 time.
