THE CANADIAN ENTOMOLOGIST. 269 



LIST OF ADDITIONAL MANITOBA LEPIDOPTERA. 



BY E. FIRMSTONE HKATH, CARTWRIGHT, MAN. 



Since Mr. A. W. Hanham published his lists of Manitoba 

 Lepidoptera in the Canadian Entomologist (i 897-1 901), many 

 additional species have been taken in the Province by myself and others. 

 Where no special locality is given in the following list, the capture was 

 made by me on my farm on the Long River, and in almost every instance 

 tiie identification has been made by Dr. John B. Smith, to whom my 

 warmest thanks are due for the kindly trouble that he has taken with my 

 material.

 about equal numbers with the form albescens, Tepper.
