Notes on the above Paper by Dr. James Fletcher. 



The above extremely interesting paper by Mrs. NichoU was kindly given to us for 

 publication last summer. Unfortunately, Mrs Nicholl's absence exploring in the Rocky 

 Mountains during the summer, my own subsequent absence from Ottawa, and the 

 early call for the manuscript for the Report, made correspondence with Mrs. Nicholl, 

 about some of the above named species, impossible. As it is important that the 



paper should be published without delay, I add a few notes concerning, some of the 

 species, with regard to which there was some doubt, thinking that as I have collected 

 in most of the localities mentioned, these might be of use to lepidopterists. 



6. Papilio zolicaon is a black swallow-tail with yellow markings, viachaon on the 

 other hand is yellcw with black markings. Oregonia. which flies in the interior of 

 British Columbia, is much more like the European machaon but is larger. It is easily 

 separated from zolicaon by its larger size, broader areas of yellow, particularly on the 

 lower side, and by the characters of the large red ocellus at anal angle, which is much 

 more like that of machaon than of zolicaon, not being pupilled, as a rule, but with the 

 margin running round into the lower part of the ocellus and ending in a club-shaped 

 expansion, with or withoiit a short spur at the extreme anal angle. The characters 

 are best seen on the lower side. 



11. Synchloe creusa is smaller than jSi. aitsanicles, is greener beneath, with the spots 

 smaller and silvery pearly. The black discal spot on the primaries beneath is cut off 

 square at the bottom, where it runs along the vein. In ausonides this spot tapers. 



20. This was probably Colias emilia which flies in the Okanagan valley just at the 

 time Mrs. Nicholl was there. The male is like a large interior hat sometimes has an 

 orange flush. The female is very much like some females of Christina. Both sexes 

 have beautiful red fringes. Alexandra has a white fringe and a silvery white spot 

 beneath on the lower wings. In emilia, the spot is white but is more or less conspicu- 

 ously ringed with pink. Eclwardsii, as I understand that species, is like alexandra, buf 

 has pink in the fringe, and some of the females are marked as in christina female. 

 Behrii in no way resembles the species above referred to. It is a small, very dark green 

 thing. There must have been some mistake about the specimens examined by Dr. 

 Rebel.
