common but many specimens poor, and Euphyes bimacula (Grote and 

 Robinson), rather common, all males, just coming out on the 5th. 



At Jamesburg, Monmouth Co., N. J., August 29, with Mr. C. L. 

 Lewis, thirty-two species and one variety were noted. This is my 

 best butterfly list (for one day) of the season. Worthy of special 

 mention are — a single fresh male of Poanes zabulon (Boisduval and 

 Le Conte) ; Megistias fnsca (Grote and Robinson), two individuals; 

 Pamphila leonardus (Harris), about fifteen to twenty seen, very diffi- 

 cult to capture; Catia otJio cgcremet (Scudder), about six old speci- 

 mens captured (late record). 



E,urymtis philodice (Godart) has been, as it usually is, very common 

 but its dichromatic female form pallidice Scudder was rather scarce. 



Correction. — The note on page 343 in " Miscellaneous Collecting 

 Notes for 1919"! should read, E. philodice is commoner than it was 

 during 1917 but is by no means in its normal abundance. 



Danaus archippus (Fabricius) has been, like last season,^ nearly 

 absent, only five individuals (listed below) being seen by me or 

 brought to my attention and no eggs or larvae were found. 



One specimen at Parsippany, Morris Co., N. J., June 27 (G. C. 

 Hall). 



One old female near Van Cortlandt Park, New York City, August 

 3 (H. Mills). 



One individual, Van Cortlandt Park, August 18. 



One specimen, Mastic Beach, Long Island, New York, September 

 20 (J. T. Nichols). 



One specimen near The American Museum of Natural History, 

 October 11. 



I have always considered this species one of our commonest local 

 butterflies and I cannot recall a season, those of the present and 

 preceding years excepted, when it was not plentiful. This being a 

 migratory species, perhaps some catastrophe occurred to the migrat- 

 ing swarms, such as has been recorded for migrations of birds and 

 certain mammals.
