Geographical distribution (29:1). Tlil.s l)utterfly is widely spread 

 tlirouirlioiit iiourlv tlie whole extent of the Carolinian and Allcsrhanian 

 faunas, but it has not been reported from Florida ; Abbot, however, says it is 

 found in Georgia though not very common. Gosse found it in Alabama and 

 it is common enough from central Texas (Relfrage) to the Mexican border 

 (Lintner, Aaron), and there is even a specimen in the British Museum 

 said to come from Brazil ! 1 find it nowhere given as an inhabitant of 

 Mexico, but Palmer brought specimens from San Luis and Saltillo. In 

 our own territory it extends from Atlantic to Pacific, occurring on the 

 Pacific coast from Sonora (Lorquin), through California (del'Orza), 

 Oregon (H. Edwards), to as far north as Eskimault, Vancouver Island 

 (Fletcher). Information concerning the last was given me after the map 

 was made. In the Rocky Mountain region it was noted long ago by 

 Reakirt in Colorado, where it has since been obtained at Denver (Mead, 

 Uhler), Clear Creek Canon (Uhler), Engelmann and Piatt Canons 

 (Snow), as also in New Mexico (Snow), Arizona (Doll, Morrison), in 

 Utah at St. George, and Pine Mountains (Palmer) and at Great Salt Lake, 

 Beaver Brook and American Fork Caiion (Scudder), as well as in southern 

 LTtah, by Mead, and finally in Nevada by H. Edwards. Between the 

 Rockies and the AUcghanies the northernmost points at which it has been 

 noted are Wallace County, Kansas (Snow), Iowa, at Grinnell (Parker), 

 and Ames (Osborn) ; Wisconsin, common (Hoy) ; northern Illinois 

 ( Worthington) ; Michigan (Museum of the University of Michigan) ; and 

 northern Ohio (Kirtland, Kirkpatrick, and British Museum). On the 

 Atlantic coast outside of New England, the northern points at which it 

 has been taken are northern New Jersey (Andrews, Merrill), Staten 

 Island (Davis), Long Island (Graef) and of late years in New York at 

 Bethlehem and Albany (Lintner). It has also been many times reported 

 as a Canadian species by several collectors, but until recently all speci- 

 mens I had seen so labeled had been wrongly determined ; latterly it has 

 been credited to the vicinity of Quebec (Bowles) and the hills in the Prov- 

 ince of Quebec, bordering on Vermont (Fyles), and Fort Ellis, Mani- 

 toba (Geddes). 



In New England it is not an uncommon insect in some southern locali- 

 ties, notably along the Connecticut River — as the vicinity of New Haven 

 (Smith, Yale Coll. Mus.), Guilford and Meriden (Smith— Mus. Yale 

 Coll.), Plantsville (Shepard, Mus. Yale Coll.) and Farmington, Conn., 

 "not common" (Norton) and Springfield (Emery, Dimmock, Sprague), 

 Northampton (Hambly), Mt. Tom and South Hadley (Sprague) and 

 Amherst, Mass. (Parker) ; the only other localities where it has been 

 found in Massachusetts are Boston (Scudder) and Middleboro (Hambly) ; 

 its northernmost recorded localities are Milford, N. H., "very rare" 

 (Whitney) and Norway, Me. (Smith).
