also of the form vittata, distinguished by a white streak on the under- 

 side of the hindwing. As some of the examples taken had this 

 character but slightly developed, he names them ab. intermedia. To 

 an aberrant $ specimen oi Melitaea (lidj/ina, in which there is a "wide 

 expanse of clear colour on the disk of all wings, devoid of the usual

Prof. Cabeau, in the February number of the Revue Mensuelle of 

 Namur, discusses the forms of Linienitis i^opnli. He had noted that 

 the coloured figures given by Seitz, Berge, and Spuier agreed with 

 each other, and that they were in accord with the description given 

 by Stichel in the first-mentioned work, but that the coloured figures 

 given by the French authors, MM. Giraud, Berce, and DeyroUe, 

 although agreeing with one another, were of quite a different form from, 

 that of the German authors. M. Cabeau proceeded to obtain specimens 

 from Belgium, the North of France, and Dresden, and to make com- 

 parisons. He at once found that the form from the last-named 

 locality was clearly separably from that obtained from the two other 

 areas ; in fact, the writer says that, placed side by side, there appears 

 to be sufficient difference for them to be taken to be separate species. 

 The German form is not so black, the markings on the wings are 

 somewhat small, for the most part greyish and less conspicuous, while 

 the underside is of a sombre shade and nearly uniform. The 

 Belgian-French form, on the other hand, has white markings, which 

 are well developed and stand oat clearly on a deep black. Since the 

 former was probably the form known to Lmneus, and is more generally 

 distributed in the North European area, while the latter has a range 

 apparently restricted to Belgium and N. France, he suggests that the 

 German form is the true Li)i\eni.tis popiili, and that the latter form 

 should be known as var. heh/iensia, as it is practically confined to the 

 old Roman domain of the Belgi. M. Cabeau says that the form 

 hiicorinenfiu of Hormuzaki, from Roumania and Bukovina, is an 

 analagous form with further increase of size and white markings, and 

 with blue-tinted black on the underside.

In the Canadian Pntinnolofjist for March, Prof. F. M. Webster 

 records another migratory band of Anosia /ile.viiijms, which passed over 

 Fort Moultrie, Sullivan's Island, near Charleston, S. Carolina, on 

 October 28th and 29th, 1918. They were going from north to south,.
