This large, nearly plain yellow butterfly appears to be rather 

 uncommon here. Hurdis mentions seeing a butterfly agreeing well 

 with this. Miss Victoria Hayward has sent me MSS notes on speci- 

 mens apparently of the female ; " Wings bright sulphur-yellow tinged 

 with greenish ; anteriorly edged with purplish black ; posterior edge 

 faintly reddish ; with red and gold dots at the distal ends of the 

 veins ; thorax black with yellow scales ; antennae red ; legs nearly 

 white; expanse, 3.5 inches.'" 



The female has larger, brownish marginal spots than the male, and 

 also a small discal spot of reddish brown on the upper side of the 

 fore wings. The male is nearly plain canary or sulphur-yellow. 



Common in the southern United States ; sometimes flies in great 

 flocks. The larva feeds on various species of Cassia.

European White Cabbage Butterfly. (Pier is rapce L.) 



A white butterfly, apparently of this species, was seen in April, 

 1898 and 1901. Abundant in Europe ; introduced about forty years 

 ago into North America (1880). Its green larva feeds mainly on 

 cabbages and allied cruciferous plants.
