 F. H. Woliey Dod), May 25th and 30th, June 3rd, 5th, loth and i-|th. 



This species is evidently nearly allied to Eupithecia Coloradensis, 

 Hulst, a species I have not yet seen, but I do not think, after studying the 

 description, that it can be the same. 



The Calgary list will now stand as follows :
