mentioned in Holland's " Butterfly Book.'' Protodice, as there 

 described, has secondaries beneath immaculate white in the 

 o* . This form occurs here rather sparingly. Scudder, in his 

 "Brief Guide," treats them as one species, and though I doubt 

 their distinctness, I have not sufficient local material at hand to 

 form a definite opinion. Mr. Gregson reports protodice from 

 Lacombe, "July 27th, uplands, scarce." Occidentalis occurs at 

 Banff. August (Sanson). 



70. P. napi, form oleracea, Harr. Fairly common ; single brooded only, 



June and July. Mr. Edwards calls my form "oleracea, form 

 virginiensis." It is somewhat variable, the variation probably 

 ranging between the two forms. Mr. Gregson reports oleracea- 

 hiemalis from Lacombe. "July, rather common in meadows and 

 gardens." Mr. Sanson reports oleracea and venosa from Banff. I 

 have seen a 9 from Banff, dated May 3rd, which is darker than 

 bryonies, Ochs., in Holland's book. 



71. P. rapoz, Lin. Two specimens taken : $ , July 20th, 1899; 9, June 



26th, 1900. No more observed. 



72. Anthocharis ausonides, Bd. Common on the hill-prairie, end of May 



and June. Banff, May 17th (Sanson); Lacombe, July 19th, wood- 

 lands, scarce (Gregson). 

 72a. [A. creusa, Doub.-Hew. I have seen a Banff specimen, dated June 

 15th, agreeing closely with plate and description of creusa in 

 Holland's " Butterfly Book." I refrain from listing it as an 

 undoubtedly distinct species. One out of a large series of 

 Calgary ausonides comes very near this specimen on the under 

 side.] 



73. Colias elis, Streck. Laggan (Bean); Banff, taken by Mr. H. H. 



Lyman and Mr. H. K. Burrison in 1890 (Bean). It cannot be 

 common there, as Mr. Sanson does not record it. Mr. A. F. 

 Hudson took two fine $ 0* in tne foothills at the " Lineham's 

 lower log camp " locality on July 12th, 1896. According to Mr. 

 Bean, the record of the Meadii, by Geddes, from the Kicking 

 Horse Pass, probably refers to elis. 



74. C. eurytlieme, Bd. Lacombe, fairly common ; August (Gregson). 



Common on Pine Creek in June, 1900, though not observed 

 near Calgary in previous years. The unexpected appearance of
