about tlie middle of June, and lasts a month; specimens found 

 toward the end of July are always battered; as they have been taken 

 by different persons during the latter part of August, and nearly up 

 to the middle of September — at the latter time battered — there is 

 probably a second brood. 



38. (31.) Argynnys Myrina Godt. This is not an uncommon 

 species. 



39. (32.) Argynnys Montinus Scudd. Mr. Walter Faxon 

 captured one spet'imen, and saw several others on Mt. Clinton, AVhite 

 Mountains, N. II., August 1st. 



40. (33.) Argynnys Bellona Godt. The first brood lasts from 

 the middle of May to the middle of June; specimens are also found 

 abundantly early in September. 



41. (34.) Euptoieta Claudia Doubl. 



42. (35.) Melitsea Nycteis Doubl. I have compared my M. 

 (Enone with types of il/. Njjcteis in Boisduval's collection, received 

 directly from Doubleday, and find the two to be identical. Mr. Smith 

 took this species at Norway, Me., June lOth, and Mr. Sprague at 

 Lewiston, Me., in July. 



43. (36.) Melit88a Harrisii Scudd. The synonyms of this 

 species given in my previous list Avere inserted there by mistake; 

 they belong to the previous species M. Nycteis (^Q^nune). This but- 

 terfly has been found in abundance at Norway, Me., and has been 

 reared by Mr. Smith; tho larvai feed on Diplopappus umbellatus; they 

 changed to chrysalids from June 13th to 29th, remained in the 

 chrysalis from ten to sixteen days, and the butterflies appeared from 

 June 20th to August 1st. Mr. Sprague has taken this species in 

 Montpelier, Vt., June 30th, and I have taken poor specimens at the 

 White Mountains, June 1 7th. 



44. (37.) Melitssa Thai'OS Boisd. and Lee. Found by Mr. 

 Merrill the last of May. I collected abundant specimens of the 

 second brood at Hampton, N. H., August r2th. 



45. (38.) Melitsea Phaeton Boisd. and Lee. Dr. A. S. Packard, 

 Jr , has seen the caterpillar feeding on Aster, Viburnum dentalium and 

 Cori/lus americana in Brunswiek, Me. I have found the butterfly 

 abundant twice ; once at Williamstown, Mass., in Mayor June, and 

 again at the White Mountains, June 17th. 



46. (39.) Pyrameis Cardui Doubl. Several specimens, but in 

 poor condition, were taken at Norway, Me., and the White Moun- 

 tains, N. H., during the latter half of June. 



47. (40.) Pyrameis Huntera Doubl. 



48. (41.) Pyrameis Atalanta Iliibn. I saw one fresh speci- 

 men at Hampton, N. II., July 8th.
