RHOPALOCERA. 



(Dyar's number.) 



8. PapUio daumis, Bdv. Eegina, N.W.T., (Mrs. J. R. C. Honeyman). 



16. Fapilio machaon, L., a. aliaska. Scud. Quite common along the 

 shores of Mayo Lake, and valley of Mayo River, Yukon Territory, 

 during July and August. (J. Keele). 



28. Neopha.^ia inenapia, Felder. 1904 was a "menapia year" — millions 

 these butterflies could be seen around the Douglas firs and on the 

 sea between Vancouver Island and the mainland in August last. 

 Pontia hrassicce, L, Two larvse of this well-known European species, 

 the "Large White," taken on Nasturtium vines in Westmount, 

 Que., Sept. 4. Both parasitised. (Winn). The larval skin was 

 exhibited at the annual meeting, Ent. Soc- Ont., 1904, and was 

 vmdoubtedly rightly named by Mr. Winn. 



62. Eurymus meadii, Edw., a. eUs, Strk. Just coming out near Laggan, 

 July 20, (Mrs. Nicholl). 



64. Eurymus hoothii, Curtis. Mayo Valley, Yukon, (J. Keele). A fe- 

 male. Elwes's fig. 5. Trans. Ent. Soc. London, part III. 1903, cor- 

 responds exactly with this specimen. 



73. Eurymus pelidne, Bdl. a. Skinneri, Barnes. Just coming out, near 

 Laggan, B.C., July 19, (Dod). 



75. Eurymus nastes, Bdv. Not rare above timber line on several moun- 

 tains near Laggan and Field, B.C., July 20 and onwards, (Mrs. 

 Nicholl and Mr. Dod). 



85. Eureme eiiterpe, Men., (lisa, Bdv.). Halifax, Aug. 24, (Perrin). 

 143- Brenthis Alberta, Edw. On several mountains near Laggan, near 

 the summits. Less of a peak-lover than astarte, much more local 

 and less common, but not nearly so difficult to capture. Both 

 sexes were taken in about equal numbers. Mrs. Nicholl who subse- 

 quently collected on many mountains between Laggan and Field 

 reported alberta to be "common everywhere." July 19 and on- 

 wards, (Dod.) 

 144. Brenthis astarte, D. & H. Fairly common on several bare peaks 

 near Laggan, July 19 and 20. The males play around the ex- 

 treme summits at 8,000 ft- or over. They are very hard to net, as 

 their flight is exceptionally swift. The females were met with, 

 but very rarely, much lower down, almost or quite at timber line 

 (about 7,000 ft.). Mrs. Nicholl met with it almost everywhere she 

 went in the Rockies. (Dod.) 

 207. Polygonia satyrus, Edw., High Falls, Que. July 12, (Saunders). 

 284. Ccenonyrnpha fyphon, Rett., a. Inidoti, Bork. {hiornata, Edw.). 

 One damaged specimen taken at Lac Charlebois, Que., (Laurentian 

 Mts.), July 21. Several seen from train window jn same dis- 

 trict June 4, (Winn). 

 286. Enodia portlavdia, Fab. Scotch Lake, N.B., July 9, (W. H. 

 Moore)- This is a new record for New Brunswick.
