106 THE CANADIAN ENToMoLOGISt. 



The range is much wider than given in French, as I have specimens from 

 Western New York. 



71. Pamphila delaware. — Usually not very common, but last year 

 was quite abundant at two or three localities. Flies in July. 



72. Nisoniades brizo. — Not common. Appears early in May. 



73. Nisoniades icelns. — Rather common from the end of May, 

 through June, and once taken, a battered example, as late as July 14th. 



74. Nisoniades lucilius. — Found, but not common, in June. 



75. Nisoniades persius. — Not common. Flies about the end of May. 



76. Nisoniades juvenalis. — Common in June. The species of Niso- 

 niades seem to appear in spring about in this order: first brizo, then ice/us, 

 persius and juvenalis, and lastly Inciliics. They all delight in recent 

 clearings in the woods and in tracts of bushes, stumps and brush-heaps. 



77. Pholisora catullus. — Common. Two-brooded, appearing in June 

 and again in September, the second brood being especially common 

 around door yards and waste places where grow different species of 

 Amarantus, especially A. a/bus. The larvse are also found on Chenopo- 

 dium album. 



78. Eudamus pylades. — Quite common. Seen in spring from the 

 middle of May to the middle of June, preferring open woods. 



79. Eudamus tityrus. — Common, From the end of May to the 

 middle of July, but seems to prefer a solitary life and more than two or 

 three are never seen at any one time. 



From this list it appears that 79 species of butterflies have been taken 

 at this locality ; one or two remarks, perhaps, would be of value concern- 

 ing certain ones. As to the Papilios, from information received from 

 Prof. E. A. Strong, who began to collect at this place some thirty years 

 a go, it appears that troilus has constantly grown more common, and 

 asterias and tumus less so ; ajax was once extremely rare, and the first 

 cresphontes was not taken till some years after Mr. Strong came here, 

 though he is unable to give me the exact date. Pieris rapce has, of 

 course, appeared in comparatively recent times, and as it has become 

 more common, Mr. Strong thinks protodice has decreased in numbers, 

 while oleracea is certainly much less common than it was ten years ago. 

 Sat. alope, once taken, has disappeared and nephele become common, 

 but not however at the same locality. Arg. myrina, Grapta j-album 

 and Lim. ursula have also grown more common of recent years.
