The Entomological portions of the Canadian Naturalist are the weakest. If Gosse 

 had had a little more knowledge, had taken a little more pains, and had scrupulously 

 pared away all such provoking passages as " I shook off a black Sawfly (Tenthredo), two 



green Watertlies (Perla Cydippe), two Cimbices (Pentatoma ), several Chrysomelid» 



with soft horn-colored elytra (Crioceris ), and another very little species of a 



metallic purple (Phyllodecta Kitellina)," (p. 184), which, while they have a show of 

 knowledge, really betray the lack of it, men would have delighted to place the Canadian 

 Naturalist with such classics as Kirby and Spence's Entomology, White's Natural 

 History of Selbourne, etc. As it is, it is hardly likely that a re-print of the book will be 

 called for; though the copies of it that remain with us are highly valued. 



NOTES ON THE RARER BUTTERFLIES OF THE PPtOVINCE OF QUEBEC. 



Bv Rev. Thomas W. Fyles, South Quebec. 



At the annual meeting of the Entomological Society of Ontario, held in October 

 1885, I read a paper on such of the Butterflies of Quebec as were then known to me. 

 Other species have since come under my observation, and I beg to offer a few remarks 

 upon them. The first in order is : 



CoLiAs INTERIOR, Scudder. I took this insect, in September, 1891, on the Heights 

 of Levis. It seemed to be rather plentiful. I looked for it carefully in the spring of 

 this year, but not a specimen was to be seen, nor have any since made their appearance. 

 One would suppose that a chance irruption of the species had occurred — that prevailing 

 winds had brought them southward. Interior differs from Philodice in that it laoks the 

 row of reddish brown dots near the hind margins, on the underside of the win^s. The 

 black spot on the fore wings of Philodice is represented by a faint oval ring in Interior • 

 and in the females of the latter the black border to the secondaries is wanting. | I took 

 one or two albinos of the species.
