A common form at Hopedale, less abundant at Square Island, 

 farther south. It may possibly be found to be synonymous with 

 Curtis's Ay-gyrotosa? Pamjana, PI. A, fig. 13. 



Some specimens vary in being almost entirely bright ferruginous, 

 with three darker triangular spots on the fore wings, arran^-ed in a 

 nearly equilateral triangle, the two basal ones being, one in the mid- 

 dle of the costa, the other at the apex. Fringe paler. Hind wino-s 

 pale luteous-ashen ; abdomen dark at base, tip tawny.

Caribou Island, rare. This is evidently a high arctic species, grow- 

 ing less common southwai'ds toward the Straits of Belle Isle.

"Whole coast, common. At Caribou Island occurred specimens 

 which differ in having the two white bands nearly straight, the outer 

 especially so, having very regular sides, not sinuated deeply as usual.* 



Penthina frigidana n. sp. 



5 , ? . Cinereous, head subfuscous, palpi cinereous. Fore wings 

 spotted with dusky ashen and black, crossed by interrupted wavy 

 lines, blackish on the costa; base of the wing whitish, but rather 

 thickly dusted with black scales, with three black dots, two costal, 



*Penthina glaeiana has been taken by Mr. F. G. Sanborn in considerable num- 

 bers during July, 1866, on the summit of Mount Washington, New Hampshire. 

 Three varieties of the species occurred there, which correspond throughout with 

 three similar variations of this same species which frequently occurred at Hope- 

 dale, Labrador, August 3, 1864. Two of the White Mountain specimens differed 

 in having the transverse bands a little narrower; but on the whole, these differen- 

 ces do not amount to those usually presented by what are called by some natural- 

 ists " climatal varieties."
