EURYMUS PELIDNE (Boisduval). 



Three pairs ar(^ mentioned by Elwe.s." They were collected l)y the 

 Hanbur}^ expedition, as follows: One male, Arctic coast, 16 miles 

 west of Point Epworth, July 11; two males and two females on the 

 Barren Grounds, 114 W., 07- 40' N.; one pale female, Dismal Creek 

 (Kendall liiver), at its confluence with the Coppermine River, July 30. 



In addition to the above series the British Museum collection con- 

 tains a female specimen of E. pelidne from Great Slave Lake, taken 

 in Julv, I8i>4, by W. G. Cunnuino-; also a pale female from Fort Good 

 Hope, collected by Miss Elizabeth Taylor, July 19, 1802.'' Mr. Fran- 

 cis A. Heron considers both of these specimens referable to pelidne. 



ARGYNNIS ATLANTIS Edwards. 



This species was tirst observed at Fort rrovidence, July 4, 1908. 

 On Julv It), I captured a pair on the summit of Mount Tha-on'-tha, in 

 the Naliamii Mountains, at an altitude of 2,500 feet. On my outward 

 trip in August I saw a num))er of these buttertlies near House River, 

 Athabaska,* and secured a specimen August 21. Mr. Preble took one 

 at the mouth of the North Nahanni River, July 25, 1904. 



The following record is given by Scudder: "Arctic America, Ross 

 (Brit, Mus,)." '' This reference is probably to a specimen, or specimens 

 collected by Mrs. Ross at Fort Simpson, or some other point on the 

 Mackenzie River, in the early sixties of last century. The species is 

 recorded l)y Butler,'' from Fort McMurray, Athabaska, where it was 

 collected l)y Miss Elizabeth Taylor, August 17, 1892. 



ARGYNNIS ELECTA Edwards. 



Dr. James Fletcher, of Ottawa, writes me that J. M. Macoun, of 

 the Canadian Geological Survey, collected this species in the vicinity 

 of Dunvegan, Athal)aska, in the sunnuer of 1903. 



ARGYNNIS EURYNOME var. CLIO Edwards. 



Through Doctor Fletcher I learn that the Canadian government col- 

 lection at Ottawa contains this species from Peace River, Athabaska, 

 in the vicinity of Dunvegan, where J. M. Macoun collected it in the 

 summer of 1903.
