Nymphalis Arthemis. — Scarce ; I have only heard of one capture 

 here. It is a northern species. 



N. Ursula. — More common, frequenting yards and gardens in 

 June. Said to be common southwards from here. 



N. JDisippus. — Quite common, in low grounds, in August and 

 September. Fine specimen taken September 10th. The $ is duller 

 than the ^ , and also differs in having a white costal spot above. In 

 size it varies from small males 2^ inches, to large females 31 inches 

 in expanse. It simulates Arcliippus. 



Neom/mpha Eurytris. — In some years this is very common for a 

 few weeks in June. In 1872 it was scarce, but it was extremely 

 abundant in the middle of June, 1S78, and very scarce before the 

 end of that mouth. 



Satyrus Alope. — Scarce ; one wasted specimen taken. 



Dehis Fo7'tlandia. — Only one has been taken here so far as I 

 know. 



Polyommatus {Chrysophanus) Tlioe. — Rather common in low 

 grounds. Fresh specimens were taken abundantly in 1873, middle 

 of June and week following. 



Goniloha {Eudamiis) Tltyrus.- — Eather common. ' 



Sesperia Wansutta. — Rather common. 



jff, Ahaton. — Rather common. 



In addition to the foregoing, we have species as follows, of which 

 I have specimens : — 



Thecla : three species, including probably Uparops a,nd /alacer. 



Polyommatus : one species — Comyiifas ? 



Sesperia : one other species — Solomok ? 



Nisoniades : two species. 



SyricJithus : one species. 



Also a species allied to Melitcea, and one allied to Argynnis, thus 

 making in all at least 44 species.

Interestvig variety of Dromius qitadrimaculatns. — The most interesting and 

 Tery pretty variety of Panagaits qiiadripustidatus figured in the last " Entomologist's 

 Annual," has reminded me of a precisely similar instance of variation in an example 

 of Dromius quadriiiuiculatus in my own coUectiou, iu which the upper and lower
