j^ust I and lastinsj through the month and to al)Out September 7, 

 about sixteen of our commonest butterflies were very abundant and 

 many of the less common species were observed. Prior to August i 

 there was almost no collecting, while after Scptemi)er 7 the col- 

 lecting became very poor again. 



At Lake Mashipacong. Sussex Co., N. J.. July 3 to 3. Mr. G. C. 

 Hall and the writer enjoyed the hospitality of Mr. and Mrs. C. L. 

 Robinson. Thirty-one species and four varieties were observed on 

 the three days, among which were Mclitcra harrisi Scudder, quite 

 common but many specimens poor, and Euphycs bimacida (Grote and 

 Robinson ), rather common, all males, just coming out on the 5th. 



At Jamesburg. Monmouth Co.. N. J.. August 29, with Mr. C. L. 

 Lewis, thirty-two species and one variety were noted. This is my 

 best butterfly list (for one day) of the season. Worthy of special 

 mention are. — a single fresh male of Poancs zabulon (Boisduval and 

 Leconte) ; Mcgistias fusca (Grote and Rol)inson). two individuals; 

 Paviphila Iconardus (Harris), about fifteen to twenty seen, very 

 difiicult to capture; Caiia otlio cgcrcmct (Scudder), about six old 

 specimens captured (late record). 



Eurymus philodice (Godart) has been, as it usually is. very com- 

 mon but its dichromatic female form pallidicc Scudder was rather 

 scarce. 



Correction. — The note on page 343 in " Miscellaneous Collecting 

 Notes for 1919" should read, /:. philodice is commoner than it was 

 during 1917 but is by no means in its normal abundance. 



Danaus archippus ( 1-abricius) has been, like last season. ^ ^learly 

 absent, only five individuals (listed below) being seen by mc or 

 brought to my attention and no eggs or larvje were found. 



One specimen at Parsippany, Morris Co., N. J., June 27 (G. C. 

 Hall). 



One old female near Van Cortlandt Park, New York City, .\ugust 

 3 (H. Mills). 



One individual. \'an Cortlandt Park, August iS. 



One specimen. Mastic Beach, Long Island. New ^'ork. September 

 20 (J. T. Nichols).
