THE CANADIAN ENTOMOLOGIST. 147 



Pamphila massasoit. — Local ; never very common. Swamps west of 

 George's Hill and Westville, N. J. 



Pamphila zabnlon. — Very local ; not common. The form hobomok 

 is not so rare \ occasionally it is found in considerable numbers along 

 Cobb's Creek. Pochahontas is a much rarer form. 



Pamphila sassacus. — Very rare. West Park. 



Pamphila Huron. — Exceedingly rare. Cobb's Creek. 



Pamphila phylceus. — Rare. West Park and Cobb's Creek. 



Pamphila otho. — The typical form is only known to have been taken 

 in one example near the Bartram Garden. The form egeretnet is not 

 common, though occasionally taken in some numbers near George's Hill 

 reservoir. 



Pamphila Peckius. — Exceedingly common. An odd form of this 

 usually very constant species was taken near Benedict Arnold's house, in 

 East Park. It is characterized by a marked suffusion of the black ground 

 colour above, leading to a nearly complete obliteration of the markings 

 on the secondaries, and the greatly restricted area of the light coloured 

 markings, beneath which stand out separate spots rather than suffused 

 areas, as is usual. 



Pamphila mystic. — Though this species is not known to have been 

 taken in the immediate vicinity of Philadelphia, we have thought it well 

 to record it as having been captured in several examples at Penn's Manor, 

 above Bristol, Penn. 



Pamphila cernes. — Very common. 



Pamphila manataaqua. — Not common. 



Pamphila vei-na. — Moderately common. The form pottawattotnie 

 has occasionally been taken here. 



Pamphila metacomet. — Not common. 



Pamphila acciiis. — Very rare. Cobb's Creek. 



Pamphila pa/ioquin. — Very rare. Cobb's Creek and George's Hill. 



Pamphila ocola. — Very rare. Cobb's Creek and Eastwick's. 



Pamphila Pontiac. — Very rare. West of George's Hill. 



Pamphila Delaware. — In his orginal description, Mr. W. H. Edwards 

 states that his types were taken in Philadelphia by Mr. Newman. This 

 is the only authority that we have for attributing this species to our fauna.* 



* Since the above was written, a single faded female specimen was taken, June 2ist, 

 liy Master Joseph M. Aaron, at George's Hill Reservoir.
