Dr. Henry Skinner read the following note and exhil)ited the 

 specimens in illustration : 



Variation in Argynnis Myrina. — The descriptions are taken 

 from two specimens, male and female, captured by Mr. G. H. Parker 

 in Fairmount Park, Philadelphia. The male differs from the nor- 

 mal in having the space between the two zig-zag lines wdiich run 

 from the costa across the middle of the wing to the interior margin 

 of the superiors filled in with inky black. Between this and the 

 base are two solid black spots. The tawny spots on the exterior 

 margin of the superiors are absent. The reticulation of the inferior 

 wings is replaced by l)lack. The under surface of the superiors dif- 

 fers in having the small hollow circles I'eplaced by solid bhick dots 

 which are lai'ger than the rejjlaced circles. The under surface of 

 the inferiors shows no difference. The female is considerably lighter 

 in color, but otherwise the variations are not nearly so well marked 

 as in the male. Tliese being the only abnormalities I have ever 

 noticed in the species, the above descriptions may be of interest.
