is naturally excellent and this, together with the charming scenery, 

 makes a day spent there of great delight to the naturalist. 



It would not be fair to speak of Fort Montgomery without a word 

 of thanks to Mr, Wm. T. Dav.is, the first of our local entomologists 

 to collect there and the one who induced the writer, among others, to 

 visit the region. 



On July I, 1906, Messrs. Gaylord C. Hall, Harvey Mitchell and 

 the writer journeyed to Fort Montgomery via the West Shore R. R. 

 and arrived about 9 A. M. We followed the road running west to 

 The Torne, taking the left-hand fork which traverses the region back 

 of Bear Mountain. We collected mostly on the road but the adjacent 

 fields, meadows and open places were also examined. It was a clear, 

 beautiful day, just nicely hot for butterflies, and they were in great 

 abundance. 



Papilionid-E.- 



Papilio polyxenes asterius Cramer.=^ 



Papilio glaucus glaucus Linne. Common about the wet spots along 

 the road and also on dung. 



Papilio troilus troilus Linne. Very common, under the same con- 

 ditions as the preceding species and often in company with it. 



Papilio marcellus Cramer. A single specimen was seen by Mr. 

 Mitchell feeding at a damp place in the road, in company with glaucus 

 and troilus; it immediately took wing and, although followed some 

 distance down the road, it escaped by flying into the thick woods. 



PlERID.E. 



Pieris rapae (Linne). Common everywhere. 

 Eurymus philodice (Godart). Connnon. 



Danaid.e. 

 Danaus archippus (Fabricius). 



Satyrid.e. 



Enodia portlandia (Fabricius). About five or six specimens were 

 seen. They may be found on dung or damp spots along roads.
