ha\e assumeti a distinct fticics, due, undt)uhtedly, to the peculiar 
isolation and meteorologic conditions of that region. It was the 
intention of the late Beverly Letcher to describe and name this 
form. 
It gi\es me great pleasure to name this local form in lu)nor of 
my friend, Mr. James lulward Cottle of San I^'rancisco, well known 
as a collector of the Lepidoptera around Mt. Shasta and San Fran- 
cisco bay, and the care displayed in the preparation of his captures. 
Not less is his personality at entomological meetings; and it was 
himself who pointed out to me the distinctixe points, the desirability 
of naming it, and presented several specimens to me, and supplied 
the accompanying photograph, and who will be pleased to defend 
the naming of it against any criticism.
