Scudder.] 376 [January 22, 



north. ^Vhen in Northern jNIaine, Mr. F. W. Putnam caught sixty- 

 nine specimens between his hands at once. Mr. Smith tells me that, 

 in 1864, in Norway, Me., the first sjiecimens were seen on the 31st 

 of May; they began to be abundant by the 4th of June, grew scarce 

 on the 20th, and disappeared by the 27th of the same month. One 

 larva, which changed to a chrysalis August 12th, appeared as an 

 imago (in confinement) April 29th; the larva was found on the trunk 

 of the wild thorn, Aiigust 15th. 



4. (4.) Papilio Philenor Drury. 



5. (5.) Pier is olei'acea Boisd. I took one specimen at the 

 White Mountains, Juno 17th; several specimens were seen daily at 

 Jefferson, N. IL, ti-om July lOtli to August 10th; toward the latter jjart 

 of the time they grew more abundant. Mr. Merrill found good spec- 

 imens common in Vermont, the last of August and early in Septem- 

 ber. Mr. Smith has taken them, September 16th, in Norway, Me. 



6. Pieris rapse Schrank. This butterfly, first discovered in 

 North America in the vicinity of Quebec, by Mr. G. J. Bowles, has 

 spread into the northern parts of New England. j\Ir. Merrill has 

 collected it in Stowe, Montpelier and Waterbury, Vt., during the 

 latter part of August, and ]\Ir. Sjn-ague has found specimens abun- 

 dant in Lewiston, Me. 



7. Piei'is Px'otodiess Boisd and Lee. While w^alking in Bos- 

 ton with Dr. Packard, Sept. 1st, I saw a single fresh specimen of 

 this species in close proximity. Mr. Smith has taken several speci- 

 mens in New Haven, Conn. 



8. Colias Eury theme Boisd. Mr. Sprague captured a single 

 specimen in Montpelier, Vt. Mr. T. F. McCurdy has one in his 

 collection, taken in Norwich, Conn. 



9. (6.) Colias Philodice Godt. Mr. Merrill does not think 

 specimens are rare in Jane, but when I have taken them at that 

 time they have been generally old and worn. I captured a number 

 of specimens at Hampton, N. H., July 8th; they seemed to confine 

 their flight to the open fields on the sea coast, never reaching the 

 woods, less than a quarter of a mile from the shore; only a few 

 were seen July 22d, and I am inclined to think that the second brood 

 appears early and not late in July. At Jefferson, N. H., during July 

 and August, this species is less abundant than Pieris oleracea. Mr. 

 Merrill found the white variety of the ? quite common, September 

 9th, and thinks it is generally much more abundant in the second 

 than in the first brood. I have also noticed this to be the case. 



10. (7.) Terias Lisa Boisd. 



11. (8.) Terias Delia Boisd. 



12. Anthoearis Genutia Boisd. Mr. Smith took a single 

 specimen, May 16, in New Haven, Conn.
