THE CANADIAN ENTOMOLOGIST. 35 



Pt. aux Trembles, near the Rifle ranges, on June 71b, and a few minutes 

 'later I took another. My companion also wanted some, and a thorough 

 search was made, resulting in Mr. Chagnon also capturing one in an 

 adjoining field. The species is apparently commoner to the North among 

 the Laurentian Mountains, where I have taken it at Montfort and St. 

 Faustin, and also at Calumet, on the Ottawa River — always in early June. 

 A month later, July 12th, while walking across the Westmount GoT 

 Links, with Mr. A. R. M. Boulton, of the Quebec Branch, a small yellow 

 butterfly passed us, which looked like a very much undersized Colias phil- 

 odice. My net was not ready, so my companion offered to catch it for 

 me if I wanted it, but as the day was very warm I said not to chase it, 

 as it would probably come back, but it kept straight on. We went the 

 opposite way, to the Nun's Woods at Cote St. Luc, to look for Hap loci 

 confusa, Lyman, and were busy catching a series of these moths, when 

 another of the little yellow butterflies came along. I was ready this time, 

 and in a moment secured the first specimen of Terias lisa, Bd. and Lee. 

 (The little Sulphur, Holland aptly calls it), that I had seen alive. An- 

 other soon appeared in the same place, and Mr. Boulton captured it. As 

 we were close to a fine field of clover, we thought the butterflies were 

 probably coming from it, and therefore turned our attention to it, but 

 without seeing any more. We resumed our raid on the Haploas, going 

 further into the woods, where H. confusa was scarcer, and H Lecontei. 

 more likely to be found. We were again lucky, for in coming out of h e 

 woods on the west side into a small cedar swamp, another Terias lisa 

 was flitting about, which I easily caught. As no more were visible, we 

 adjourned to Cartersville for lunch.
