EUCYMATOGE GRANDIS Hulst. 



Three specimens, July 25, August 4, and three from Mr. Cockle's 

 collection, July 21 (Bear Lake), October 16, 1902. Most of the speci- 

 mens have the discal spot strongly tinged with bright brown and are 

 thereby readily recognizable. One of Mr. Cockle's specimens (Octo- 

 ber 16) has a brown shade running outward from the spot nearly to the 

 margin, resembling a very distinct form from Vancouver Island, of 

 which I have a specimen from Mr. George W. Taylor
