100 THE CANADIAN ENTOMOLOGIST 



ANOTHER MIGRATION OF ANOSIA PLEXIPPUS FAB. 



In the Canadian Entomologist, Vol. XLIV, pp. 366-36/, 1912, 

 the writer gave some observations on the autumn migratory bands 

 of this butterfly witnessed by him in various parts of the country. 



On October 28 and 29, 1913, these insects were present in 

 myriads clinging to the limbs of trees about Fort Moultrie, on 

 Sullivan's Island, near Charleston, S. C. The weather was cool for 

 the latitude, but the butterflies did not seem to pay any attention 

 to the temperature, winging their way about in the sunshine as is 

 their habit farther north, finally drifting away. Judging from the 

 numbers observed dead and cast up on the beach by the sea, not all 

 of the migrants passed onward in safety. As usual, there were 

 numerous individuals flying about after the migrating band had 

 passed onward.

In Regulation 3, line 14, the words "Importations by mail

"18. The importation of all nursery stock, including trees, 

 shrubs, plants, vines, grafts, scions, cuttings, or buds, through 

 the mails is prohibited, excepting greenhouse-grown florists' 

 stock, cut flowers, herbaceous perennials, and bedding plants, 

 which will be admitted provided that a detailed statement of 

 the contents is attached to such parcels." 



This Regulation will take effect on and after the first day of 

 March, 1914.
