northwards, very fresh, in the last week of July. Mrs. Chas. Schaeffer also 

 records it from Mt. Athabasca, and from Mt. Temple, near Laggan, 

 " above the saddle." 



19. Melifcea a?iicia, Doubl.-Hew., var. Beanii, Skinner. — Not 

 uncommon on Mt. Piran, from about 7,000 to 8,000 feet. It seems to 

 merge into anicia lower down. Mrs. NichoU met with var. Beanii 

 during her trip far north of Laggan last summer. 



21. Phyciodes ismeria, Bd.-Lec. — A worn $ at Gleichen station, 

 June 29th, 1905. 



22. P. t/iaros, Dru. — A form I have taken at the Red Deer River 

 locality during early July, and which has puzzled me considerably, differs 

 from the more usual form, which flies, equally fresh, at the same time and 

 place, in being conspicuously marbled beneath. I considered it distinct, 

 but Dr. Skinner says that specimens I sent him agree with some of 

 Edwards's figures of var. inarcta. A species sent me as camiihts from 

 Hall Valley, Colo., closely resembles this form beneath, but is nearer to 

 pratensis above. 



24. Grapta satyrus^ Edw. — Not commorj. I have only five local 

 specimens under this name in my collection. Two of them are much 

 variegated and contrasting beneath, with the band on secondaries defined 

 outwardly by a rather heavy black line, and a heavy G mark. A specimen 

 from Kaslo is like this. The other three are much more uniform and 

 darker beneath, with the band edged by a finer line, and the G also finer. 

 One of them was bred from a larva which fed on nettle. Three specimens 

 from Wellington, B. C., are like this. The under sides figured by Dr. 

 Holland of both 77iarcyas and satyrus are like the first form, and I believe I 

 have two species. 



25. G./iumus, Edw. — I have only one Calgary specimen, like Dr. 

 Holland's figures, and agreeing with specimens sent me as this from 

 Montana and B. C. 



26. G. zephyrus, Edw. — Two local specimens agree well with 

 Holland's figures, but are darker. One of them Dr. Fletcher has named 

 zephyrus^ and they are probably the same as a Colorado specimen sent me 

 as such by Dr. Barnes. I have others of the same species from Welling- 

 ton, Vancouver and Colorado. 



31. Pyrajueis ataia?ita, Lin.- -I have occasionally bred it from larvse 

 found on nettle, but have never seen the imago at all common. I have 

 observed it on the wing, presumably after hibernation, as early as May 15th.
