One Bpecimen of this butterfly was taken at tlic small isolated 

 iblet called Fuuk Island, to the east of Newfoundland. 



Argynnis Freja, Thunberg. Two examples. Compared with 

 specimens fi'om Lapland, the Newfoundland form is decidedly of a 

 brighter (/. e. more orange) colour on the upper surface, and the black 

 submargiual circumflexes are detached from the marginal spots, this 

 latter feature probably arising from the smaller dimensions generally 

 of the black markings. Beneath, all the characteristic mai'kings are 

 the same as in the Lapland Freja ; but the general colour of the hind- 

 wing is ruddier, and the central black flexuous band is less black ; 

 the marginal buff triangles in shape are rather linear than triangular. 

 All these differences are so many points of resemblance to A. 2)olctris ; 

 but on comparing the Newfoundland Freja with a specimen oi polar i8 

 from Labrador, I find that the two differ far more than they agree. 

 The distinctive characters are well pointed out by Moeschler in his 

 paper on the Lepidoptorous Fauna of Labrador (Wiener Entom. Mo- 

 natschrift, 1860, p. 339). 



Argynnis Charidea, Schneid., Hiibn. One specimen, Betts Cove. 

 Agrees well with Lapland specimens. 



Argynnis Atlantis, W. H. Edwards, Proc. Ac. Nat. Sci. Phil., 

 1862. Many specimens, agreeing with others from the Catskill 

 Mountains, New York, sent to me by Mr. Edwards. 



Vanessa (Qrapta) comma, Harris. One example, agreeing with 

 specimens from New York, sent me, under this name, by Mr. AV. H. 

 Edwards. 



Vanessa Antiopa, L. Sandy Point, George's Harbour, 1st October. 

 Dark and n?uch irrorated wing-borders. 



Vanessa Milbe?'ti, Godt. Apparently a common insect. 



Pyrameis cardui, L. Many examples. 



Chionobas Taygete, Hiibn. "Kantem ; flying among long grass." 

 Agrees pretty well with Lapland specimens. 



Coenonytnpha inornata, "W. H. Edwards, Proc. Ac. Nat. Sci. Phil., 

 1861, p. 163. One example, ^ , agreeing well with the description 

 above cited. Mr. Edwards' original specimens were from Lake 

 Winnipeg. 



Lyccena Scudderi, W. H. Edwards, Proc. Ac. Nat. Sci. Phil., 1861, 

 p. 164. One ^, "Rantem." Mr. Edwards described the species from 

 Lake Winnipeg. 



Lyccena Couperi, Grote, Bull. Buffalo Soc. Nat. Sci., i, p. 185 (1873) ; 

 Glaucopsychc Couperi, Scudder, ibid., JJeccm. 26, 1873. Described from 

 specimens taken at Anticoati by Mr. Couper. Mr. Milne's collection
