at flowers at dusk. Middle July. The species was described from 

 Colorado. I took a specimen at Laggan, on flowers, in sunshine, near 

 the station, on July i6ih, 1904. 



326. Anarta cordigera, Thunb. — I have seen a 9 taken by Mr. N. 

 B. Sanson on Mt. Rundle, Banff, on June 27th, 1900, which I believe to 

 be this species. 



337. A. juelanopa, Thunb. — Three <^ (^ , one in fine condition, the 

 other two worn, on " Saddle Back," near Lake Louise, Laggan, at timber 

 line (about 7,000 feet), Aug. loth, 1900. 



328. A. qiiadrilunata, Grt. ? — One $ , Slate Mt., Laggan, above 

 timber, between 7,000 and 7,800 feet, Aug. 8lh, 1900. Prof. Smith says 

 he has a $ from the same locality, and adds: "They differ from Colorado 

 examples in larger size and obsolete raaculation of primaries. A different 

 species is not excluded." 



329. A. Iapp07iica, Thunb.?- -A single 9 , taken by Mrs. NichoU near 

 the summit of Mt. St. Piran, Laggan, at about 8,500 feet, on July 20th, 

 1904, is in my collection, and has been referred doubtfully to this species 

 by Prof. Smith. 



330. A. sp.? — K few years ago Prof. Smith referred this species 

 doubtfully as a var. oi Zetterstedtii, Stand., from which it differs, he said, 

 in having a white disk on secondaries. Recently he advised me to leave 

 it unnamed until I could discover Sir George Hampson's' opinion about 

 this and other species in the genus. It is a common species at and above 

 timber line (about 7,000 feet) at Laggan. End of July and early August. 



331. Nephelodes pectinatiis, Smith?— Not rare at light some seasons, 

 entirely absent in others. End of August. I have only six specimens, 

 all (? J , which show a considerable range of variation, from a very pale 

 yellowish luteous to a handsome dark olive brown, or rosaceous mixed 

 with olive. A specimen of the last mentioned form was named pectinatus 

 by Prof. Smith a few years ago. Quite recently I sent him one of the 

 olive-brown forms, together with a specimen from Victoria, B. C. He 

 commented : " Pectinatus I believe, but very unlike the only example in 

 my collection, which comes from Oregon. In your specimens the bristle 

 is distinctly more obvious than in mine, where it is scarcely to be dignified 

 by that name in proportion to the long point. On the other hand, in my 

 local specimens the bristle is as long as the branch. There may be more 

 variation in the antennae than I have supposed, and this may be to some 

 extent geographical." The species was described from two ^ $ from
