THE CANADIAN ENTOMOLOGIST 



ridge is on the north side, nearly at the western end, and this is 

 undoubtedly the best collecting area. The mountain side here is 

 loose shale with a short cliff of four to six feet at the top. 



Returning to the insects, on this, the second day, we found 

 Colias nastes on the wing, CEneis bmcei very common, Argytmis 

 meadi, lais and eurynome; Brenthis triclaris,' chariclea and freija; 

 Erebia epipsodea and disa (the latter rare) ; Lyccena aquilo and 

 scudderi, Enchloe cretisa, Papilio zolicaon (2 or 3 only and passe) ; 

 Pamphila mandan and Hesperia centaurecB. 



Of dragonfiies I took Ccenagrion angulatum., Mshna eremita 

 and sitchensis; Sympetrum ruhicundiilum decisum, Leucorrhinia 

 hudsonica and, of the genus Somatochlora, males and females of 

 minor, one female of an undetermined species, but no males to 

 the odd females of franklini taken the previous day. We returned 

 to camp well pleased with our catch. 



July 13th.- — On the top, mostly in the favoured area mentioned 

 above, Mr. Bowman captured 6 of the handsome tiger moth, 

 Neoarctia yarrowi. Our party explored to the western peak, 

 and while the trip yielded nothing special, it was a glorious walk, 

 giving a magnificent view of the Bighorn and more distant mountain 

 ranges. On this date I took a male of Somatochlora alhicincta on 

 the top, and a female of the same on returning to the camp in the 

 evening. This was the fourth variety of the genus in three days. 

 Just before starting the descent in the late afternoon a new butter- 

 fly put in its appearance, viz., Melitcea anicia. 



July 14th. — A glorious hot day, and by 2 o'clock Mr. Bow- 

 man had captured three Brenthis astarte. We also took four P. 

 zolicaon, five N. yarrowi, eight M. anicia, two Androloma mac- 

 cullochi, and other diurnals previously mentioned. 



This was also a good day for dragonfiies, as the males of S. 

 franklini (quite fresh) put in their appearance. I took four; also 

 males and females of minor and a male of albicincta. 



In the early afternoon Mr. Stevenson, who had to return to 

 Nordegg, bade us good-bye and left on his long tramp home. 



July 15th. — Mr. Bowman accompanied me to the top and
