 the ocelli large, with white centres and blue scales, and either without rings or 

 imperfectly ringed with dusky yellow, the hind wing either with or without an 

 ocellus. Under side paler, the area of the l)and a little lighter than elsewhere ; 

 the rings sometimes quite bright, but oftener dull or obscure yellow ; the ocelli 

 of secondaries rarely six in number, most often under three, and many examples 

 have none at all. (HI-, Figs. .^, 4.) 



Var. Olympus. 



In size equals the typical form. The males are almost l)lack ; the ocelli very 

 small and witliout rings. Init in some exanq)les there is a faint russet or yellowish 

 tint altout tiienr, and perliaps on the space between. On the underside the rings 

 are russet or ochraceous on both wings. This form iuliabits Indiana and west- 

 ward to the Eocky Mountains. (HI., Figs. 5, (j.)

 rior extremity nearly square or sub-arcuate, with a projecting ])oint at either 

 side; on each side of the body are three rows of long white bi'istles, one sub- 

 dorsal, one on middle, and one over the feet, besides a demi-row on 2, o, and 4, 

 between the two upper rows ; these spring from prominent papilhe, and the 

 effect is to make the body seem many-sided ; the dorsal rows have one bristle on

 the others, all bent back ; the demi-i-ow and the side row have one to each seg-
