THE BUTTERFLIES OF NEW BRUNSWICK. 225 



NOTES. 



Mditcea phaeton. — On July 1st I had the pleasure of taking a 

 number of perfect specimens of this beautiful butterfly. 



Melitcea harrisii.— Over forty of this species were taken in about 

 two hours on July 1st. Worn specimens were plentiful in the same 

 locality July 15th. On August 1st (my next visit) they had entirely 

 disappeared. 



Mr. Winn, speaking of this species, says : " One specimen, taken 

 end of July, flying before 5 a. m. 



Grapta gracilis. — Mr. Winn refers to this species as follows : " I 

 can confirm occurrence in New Brunswick, having taken a few 

 specimens during the latter part of August. 



Two specimens were taken by the writer July 15th (1899). 



Pieris na/pi. — Mr. Philip Mcintosh found this species quite abund- 

 ant on the Belleisle in July. The following is quoted from Mr. Winn's 

 notes: "Pieris oleracea (napi.) Was then (1886) abundant at 

 Jacquet River, but doubtless has decreased proportionately as Pieris 

 rapje increased, as it has done elsewhere." 



Colias interior. — This species still continues to be our most com- 

 mon yellow. Colias philodice not being abundant until late in the 

 season.
