THE CANADIAN ENTOMOLOGIST. 11 



E. Bean's record of its occurrence at Laggan, Alberta, 51° 25', will be 

 the southern limit on the Pacific coast for the latter, while the former 

 extends to Colorado, at least so far as we now know. 



Vanessa antiopa, Linn. This is recorded as occurring 58° to 70°, 

 and in all but two of the provinces, Stavanger and North Bergenhus, on 

 the south-western coast and included in the area over which Colias %ecla 

 is reported not to inhabit. However, as the two provinces are separated 

 by South Bergenhus, in which the species is recorded as being present, 

 we are led to suspect that it may yet be found in one or both of these 

 now unoccupied provinces. With us the species occurs throughout North 

 America. 



V. atalanta, Linn. Dr. Schoyen records this from eleven provinces, 

 and ranging from 58" 38' to 63° 26'. With us this is as widely distri- 

 buted as the preceding. 



V. cardui, Linn. This, in Norway, occurs in two-thirds of the 

 provinces, and ranges from 58° to 69° 40'. In America it is as generally 

 distributed as the preceding. In Norway the area where it is not 

 recorded comprises the south-west coast provinces. 



Argynnis chariclea, Schn. This appears to occur in only a single 

 and at the same time the most northern province, ranging only from 

 69° 20' to 70° 42'. In America, it ranges from Labrador, Hudson Bay 

 and Gulf of St. Lawrence on the east, to probably about lat. 51° 25' on 

 the Pacific Coast, no where, according to Mr. Edwards, extending into 

 the United States. 



A. polaris, Boisd. This has in Norway a very little wider range than 

 the preceding, occurring in only two provinces, Tromso and Finmarken, 

 and covering area between 69° and 70° 25'. In regard to the distribution 

 of this species in North America, the only records to which I have access 

 give the habitat as Arctic America, Greenland and Labrador. 



A. freija, Thbg. The Norwegian range of this species is much wider 

 than that of the preceding, occurring, as it does, in eight of the eighteen 

 provinces, and over an area extending from 59° 35' to 70° 25', being 

 absent in the extreme southern and aUo the extreme northern portions. 

 Of these ten provinces where it is not recorded as occurring, one is 

 located in the central (coastal), three south-eastern (inland), two southern 

 (one coastal and the other adjoining inland), two south-western 

 (coastal), and two western (coastal), and presumably the extreme north 

 coastal part of Finmarken, the northernmost territory of the country. In
