PAMPIIILIDI: ERYNNIS MANITOBA. ]649 



louml in Ciilavuros Cuuiity, Cal. ( Hrelioiis) , near Truckee, Nev. (Mac 

 Glashan), Fort Ivhuuath, Or. (Merrill), Washington Territory (Edwards), 

 and Vancouver Island (Fletcher) ; it has also been found at Lake 

 La Hachc (Crotch), Pike's Peak and Manitoti, Col., Regina (Fletcher), 

 and the east coast of Lake Winnipeg, wliicli is also the northernmost 

 locality (Scudder) ; coming further eastward, Nepigon and Sudbury 

 (Fletcher), and finally at Riviere du Loup, nearly opposite the mouth 

 of the Saguenay River on the Lower St. Lawrence (Couper). 



This last locality is our warrant for including it in this portion of the 

 present work. 



Life history. The data for the seasons of this butterfly are extremely few 

 and somewhat discordant. That it appears about the first week in August 

 or perhaps the last of July and flies until toward the middle of September 

 is tolerably clear from the uniformity of dates of capture of different 

 specimens. Whether, however, this is the only brood is uncertain, for 

 specimens apparently to be referred to this species have been taken in 

 Colorado early in June and in California even at the last of April. If 

 these are correctly given, it would seem probable that the second brood 

 had been more frequently observed and is, therefore, the more abundant. 

 This is the meagre sum total of our knowledge of this species, the full 

 history of which will probably have to be worked out in the west.
