82 THE CANADIAN ENTOMOLOGIST. 



Colias eury theme Boisd. — A single specimen observed at Bruce 

 Mines ; not uncommon at Sault Ste. Marie. This handsome orange 

 butterfly was quite a prize to me, as I had never before seen it 

 alive, and rarely in cabinets. Its habits appeared to be similar to those 

 of C. philodice, but its flight was much more rapid ; it hardly ever rested 

 for more than an instant at a time, and could not be captured without 

 a long and exciting chase. I was enabled, however, to obtain about a 

 dozen specimens, with the assistance of some young friends at the 

 Sault, who became speedily infected with my entomological ardor, and 

 before I left, commenced to form collections for themselves. If they 

 keep up the pursuit, they will no doubt be able to afford us, by and 

 by, much valuable information^respecting the insect fauna of the locality. 

 Among the dozen specimens of C. euryihenie, I only found one female ; 

 probably as the specimens were all fresh and in good order, the females 

 do not appear till a few days later than the males. 



Colias Keewaydin Edwards. — One male specimen taken at the Sault. 

 1 have little doubt that'this is merely a variety of the preceding species. 

 For description and admirable figures of both, see Edwards' Butterflies 

 of North America, Part IV. 



Danais arcJiifpus Cramer. — But very few specimens seen at the Sault; 

 a single one flew across the steamer when on Georgian Bay, fifteen or 

 twentv miles from the nearest land. Taken on the north shore of 

 Lake Superior by Agassiz's Expedition. 



Argynnis cybele Fabr. — A single specimen taken at Sault Ste. Marie. 



Argynnis aphrodite Fabr. — Sault Ste. Marie ; abundant. North shore 

 of L. Superior (Agassiz). 



Argynnis inyrina Cramer. — Sault Ste. Marie ; very abundant. North 

 Shore of L. Superior (Agassiz). 



Grapta interrogationis Fabr. — Sault Ste. Marie : a single specimen. 



Grapta progne Cramer. ---Sault Ste. Marie ; rare. 



Vanessa antiopa Linn. — St. Joseph's Island and Sault Ste. Marie ; not 

 at all common, compared with its usual abundance in the Southern 

 parts of Ontario. 



Vanessa Milbertl Godt. — Sault Ste. Marie: rare. 



}'ancssa J-album Boisd, and Lee. -—Bruce Mines. St. Joseph's
