but a wanderer. Mr. Wolley Dod has taken two at Calgary, and there is one 

 in the Banff museum. 



25. Argynis cybele. Common all through the Atlantic States. Mine 

 were taken at Ottawa, in September. Mr, Wolley Dod gets it at Calgary, 

 but not commonly. 



26. A. atlantis. Very common and widely distributed all through Brit- 

 ish Columbia. I took it at Kaslo, Greenwood and in the high Eockies below 

 tree level. Atlantis is very like Electa, which Mr. Wolley Dod takes, though 

 not commonly. I have no specimens of Atlantis from Calgary. 



27. A. monticola. Widely distributed and common. I took it at every 

 place I visited from the third week in June till the end of August. The high 

 mountain specimens differ little from those at lower levels. It is a variable 

 species as to color and the silvering of the spots of the under side, but the 

 markings are the same in all that I have taken. 



28. Var. purpurascens, which I took only near Greenwood and Nelson at 

 low levels. It is given by Holland as a variety of Zerene. Dyar gives it as 

 a variety of Monticola, with which its markings exactly coincide. I do not 

 possess Zerene. 



29. A, coronis. I never took this species at all on the western side of the 

 Divide, but I believe that I got a battered individual at Banff, August 30th. 

 Those I have were all taken by Mr. Wolley Dod near Calgary, where it is 

 not uncommon. Very like Halcyone. 



30. A. nevadensis. Widely distributed through the Rocky Mountains, 

 but I never saw it common except at Banff, where there were many, much 

 worn, August 30th. It ranges as high as tree level, but I never took it west 

 of the Divide. Common at Calgary. 



31. A. nevadensis var. Meadii. One, June 18th, in the Upper Keremeos, 

 and one, much battered, at Mt. Assiniboine, August. 



32. A. eurynome. Widely distributed, nowhere common. I took a fine 

 dark form in the Selkirks at about 8,000 feet. I also took a paler form at 

 Kaslo. 



33. A. eurynome var. Clio. Also widely distributed and not common. 

 M-y high mountain specimens are all much paler than the Kaslo insects. 



34. Brenthis myrina is the arnphirape of the Eastern Hemisphere. I 

 found it in swarms at Mt. Assiniboine in August, flying over the marshy 

 ground near the lake, which was formerly the basin of a great glacier. I 

 also took it by Lake Louise in July. Mr. Wolley Dod takes it commonly at 

 Calgary. 



35. Brenthis chariclea. Very common everywhere in the Hockies among 

 brushwood. Common at Calgary. 



36. Brenthis chariclea var. Boisduvalii, is apparently undistinguishable 

 from Chariclea, though Holland gives it as a separate species. 



37. B. chariclea var. ohscurata. I have so called a remarkably dark fe- 

 male taken near Lake Assiniboine, very high up. 



38. Brenthis fre^ija. Common in May at Calgary and Banff. Also took 

 it in mountain bogs near Lake Okanagan in June at 5,000 feet or more. 



39. B. frigga. Common in bogs at Banff and Calgary, also took it near 

 Lake Okanagan in mountain bogs. 



40. B. hellona. Common at Calgary, Ottawa, and generally west of the 

 Divide.
