166 THE CANADIAN ENTOMOLOGIST. 



my series agreeing well with specimens sent me by Mr. Lyman 

 as typical helloides, labeled "California and Washington.'' 



55. C. phlceas, Bd.-Lec. Taken on July 5th and 12th, 1896, by Mr. 



Hudson, both near Billings's lumber mill and Lineham's lower log 

 camp on Sheep Creek. In all, six specimens in fine condition. 

 It is probably locally common. Dr. Holland has three of these 

 specimens. He says: "They are undoubtedly p/i/ceas, the 

 European form, closely corresponding with specimens which I 

 have from Turkestan on the upper side, but show some 



modifications on the under side that are of interest I 



have no doubt that C. Americana grades over into phlceas, and 

 that when we come to know all about the distribution of the 

 species, we shall see that our eastern Americana is a local race of 

 the European species, and our north-west country will undoubt- 

 edly furnish us with the connecting links between the palcearctic 

 and nearctic forms." 



56. C. Snowi, Edw. Laggan, in August (Bean). I took a worn specimen 



there myself on August 10th, 1900, at about 7,000 feet. 



57. C. sirius, Edw. Recorded in Holland's "Butterfly Book" from 



Macleod. 



58. Lycoenafalla, Edw. Common, end of June and July. Lacombe, 



June 1 6th, local (Gregson). 



59. L. sa'pio/us, Bd. Common, end of May to early July. Also at Banff 



and Laggan. 



60. L. Coupcrii, Grote. Extremely common everywhere. On the wing 



from the end of May, nearly all summer. Probably two broods at 

 least. Earliest record, May 12th. Mr. Elwes tells me that this 

 is the Calgary form of autiacis, Bd. 

 60a. [L. lygdamus, var. oro, Scud. Mr. Gregson has shown me Lacombe 

 specimens which Dr. Fletcher thinks are referable to this species. 

 In some of them the spots beneath are almost wanting, but though 

 I cannot exactly duplicate them in my Calgary series oiCouperii, 

 I doubt their distinctness from that species. I certainly cannot 

 distinguish the specimens standing in Mr. Sanson's collection as 

 lygilamus from Coitperii.] 



61. Z. sagittigera, held. A single £ , perfectly fresh, on June 19th, 1900, 



in the poplar woods at head of Pine Creek.
