THE CANADIAN ENTOMOLOGIST, 101 



August ; the larvae of the third or hibernating brood during the latter 

 part of August, the first butterflies about September 20th. I have noticed 

 in a few instances the construction of a web by colonies of young larvae. 



20. Pyrameh at al ant a. — Common. Two-brooded. The hibernating 

 individuals are seen from the end of April to the latter part of June ; the 

 larvae of the first brood may be found in June, the butterflies from July 

 10th to August 15th; the larvae of the second brood during August, the 

 butterflies from the 15th of September. 



21. Pyrantels huntera. — Common. Two-brooded, flying in the latter 

 part of June and in July, and again in September and October, being then 

 most abundant in clover fields. Hibernating specimens occur, no doubt, 

 early in spring, but I have no record of observations at that time. 



22. Pyrantels car did. — Usually common, but some years quite infre- 

 quent. In 1884 was very abundant throughout the season, the thistles and 

 burdocks being stripped, and the nettles, mallows, sunflowers and holly- 

 hocks also attacked. It is usually two-brooded, flying from the latter 

 part of May through June ; again, from larvae in June, in July and 

 August; and again, the second brood of the year, from the second week 

 in September onward. 



23. II men it is Ursula. — Rather common, though formerly rare. Two- 

 brooded, flying during June and early July and again in the latter part of 

 August. It is very much attached to certain localities, and in one door 

 yard for several years it has never failed to appear,- at any time during its 

 season, one having to wait but a few minutes to see one or more. It 

 likes to fly along paths in woods and, like disippus and the species of 

 Pyrantels, Grapta and Vanessa, has the bad taste to frequent heaps of 

 decaying animal and vegetable refuse. 



24. Limenitls disippus. — Common. Two-brooded. The first brood 

 flies during June, the second from August 15th through September, one 

 being seen on one occasion on the 8th of October. It frequents especial- 

 ly willow bushes lining the banks of streams. 



25. Apatura clyton. — One specimen of the form proserplna taken by 

 Mr. L. S. Livingston, a former local collector, a few miles east of the city, 

 on the 15th of July, 1885. I am also informed by Prof. E. A. Strong 

 that two or three were taken near the city some years ago. 



26. Neonympha canthus. — Common during July, frequenting low 

 grounds and swampy meadows.
