black borders, the 9 's especially heavily black ; Edwards' original 

 description leaves no doubt that it was this form that he had before 

 him when he proposed the name hageni; the type locality may be re- 

 stricted to Pueblo, Colo., as he had received numerous specimens from 

 Mr. Nash of this town. 



Until quite recently we had been of the opinion that eriphyle 

 Edw. described from Lake Lahache, B. C, could be held separate from 

 hageni and was the same form as that described later by Cockle as 

 kootenai; an examination and comparison of the type material in the 

 Edwards Collection has however led us to revise our opinions ; there 

 seems to be no doubt that eriphyle and hageni both are summer forms 

 and personally we utterly failed to separate them. Kootenai Cockle 

 is evidently the spring form of British Columbia, distinguished by its 

 pale lemon yellow color and heavily sprinkled underside ; it approaches 

 very close to autnmnalis, but the yellow has a greener tinge and the 9 's 

 have no complete submarginal band of yellow spots owing to the 

 obsolescence of the inner black shading; this form extends northward 

 into Alaska where it is probably single brooded. Apparently Wright's 

 figures under the name emilia (1. c. PI. XI, Fig. 92) refer to this 

 form; we figure a $ and 9 from Okanagan Falls, B. C, (May) and 

 the underside of a $ from Atkin, B. C, on the Alaskan border (Figs. 

 3-5). Much breeding and study will be necessary before all these 

 forms and their interrelationship are satisfactorily placed but for the 

 present we offer the following synonymy:
