occurs at both Laggan and Banff. My ° 5 (from Sheep Creek) 

 are slightly darker than the figures of smintheus, in Vol. III. of 

 Mr. Edwards's work, but not so dark as hermodur. 



79. Papilio zolicaon, Bd. On the hill-prairie around Pine Creek ; not 



common ; June. Also at Olds (Willing). 



80. P. nitra, Edw. Fairly common on the hill-prairie and in river 



bottoms. End of May and June. Also at Olds (Willing). 

 I have a Calgary specimen labeled asterias by Mr. Edwards, but 

 both Dr. Fletcher and Dr. Holland agree in referring the species 

 to nitra. 

 Si. P. turnus, Lin. Fairly common everywhere. June. 



82. Carterocephalus palcemon, Pall. Fairly common locally near the 



spruce in June. Laggan (Bean); Banff, June 5th (Sanson); 

 Lacombe, July 19th, not common (Gregson). 



83. Thymelicus garita, Reak. Common on Pine Creek. 



84. Pamphila comma, var. Manitoba, Scud. Common near Calgary. 



End of June to August. Have taken it at Banff in August, 

 var. Assiniboia, Lyman. Far less common than Manitoba. 



85. P. hncas, Edw. Far less common than the preceding species. June 



and July. 

 S6. P. draco, Edw. Rather rare near Calgary. July. I took a speci- 

 men at Laggan in August. 



87. P. peckius, Kirby. I have a single $ labeled " Pine Creek," but 



bearing no date, called peckius by Mr. Lyman, and agreeing 

 with peckius from Ottawa. I have rather neglected the Pam- 

 philas, and some species may be more common than I suppose. 



88. P. mystic, Scud. Fairly common on the hill-prairie; June and July. 



89. P. cernes, Bd.-Lec. Probably local, and apparently not very common, 



though I have no records of exact localities. 



90. Pyrgus tessellata, Scud. By no means common ; end of June and 



July. Mr. Gregson records montivagus from Lacombe. 1 have not 

 seen his species, but suspect that he refers to tessellata. 



91. P. cKspitalis, Bd. Banff; June 3rd (Sanson). I have seen this 



species. 



92. Nisoiiiades icelus, Lint. Common everywhere around Calgary; middle 



of May to end of June. I have the name brizo from Dr. Fletcher, 

 but have carefully examined a large number of specimens, and
