Valley of the River Rouge ^ ^c. 91 



18. A. Bellona, Fab. One specimen taken near Mr. Thomp- 

 son's clearing on the Kouge, in the Township of Arundel, on the 

 30th June. It was not again met with, 



19. Melitcea Thaws, Cramer, Oocyta, Hiibner, (Pearl-crescent 

 Fritillary). First observed at Sugar-bush Lake, Montcalm, 29th 

 June. In copula and rather worn 2nd July about Bevin's Lake. 

 A few seen a few miles up the DcTil's River, 14th July. 



20. Thecla (?) A large ThecJa was seen by me at the Huckle- 

 berry Rapids on the Rouge, 2nd Range of De Salaberry, on the 

 30th July, but I failed in my attempts to secure it, and could 

 not recognise the species, nor did I meet with any other of this 

 genus. 



21. Lyccena Americana, Harris (American Copper). Numer- 

 ous from the 21st to the 31st August, on grass-land at Hamilton's 

 Farm, where its food-plant, the sorrel {Rumex acetosella), 

 abounds. 



22. Polyommatns pseudargiolus, Boisd. (Spring Azure). Nu- 

 merous on the 14th May, in the woods of the Township of Gren- 

 ville. The males were extremely abundant, congregating round 

 putrid fish on the shores of Sixteen-Island Lake, at the end of 

 May ; I saw worn specimens as late as the 2nd July, about Bevin's 

 Lake. When in a canoe on Sixteen-Island Lake, one of these 

 beautiful little butterflies pitched on my hand and remained there 

 for some time, 



23. Pamphila (?) Two specimens of a dingy grey species of 

 Shipper were captured, one at Sugar-bush Lake, June 26th, and 

 the other at Bevin's Lake, 2nd July, 



24. Pamphila (?) One specimen of a Pamphila, resembling 

 P.paniscus (Chequered Shipper) of Europe, was taken near Bevin's 

 Lake, Montcalm, 2nd July. 



Two or three other species of Pamphila were taken in the 

 Townships of Montcalm and Arundel, and at Hamilton's Farm, 

 in June, July and August, which I have been unable to deter- 

 mine, and which are probably undescribed species. 



Heterocera, 



SPmNGINA. 



Sphinx. I captured two species of Sphinx on the Rouge, in 

 the Townships of Arundel and DeSalaberry, in July, allied to S. 

 halmioe., Abbot and Smith, and S. gord'ms, Cramer, but not agreeing 

 satisfactorily with the descriptions of those species as given by 

 Dr. Harris in his Catalogue of American Sphinges, (Amer. Jour.
