 the vegetation plentiful and varied, with large numbers of msects. 



I have curtailed this as much as possible, but I shall be glad to cor- 

 respond with anyone going to collect this season, with a certain- feeling 

 that, if the eggs of Colias elis can be obtained, we shall have the mystery 

 ^cleared up about the ^ of this beautiful fly.
