NEONYMPHA I. 



Gemma flies in southern West Virginia, and in the same latitude to Illinois ; 

 is common in the mountains of North Carolina and eastern Tennessee, and in 

 the northern parts of Georgia, and Alabama. It does not seem to fly far from the 

 streams. Rev. W. J. Holland writes that it was found in great numbers at the 

 foot of Bald Mountains, Madison County, N. C, near the French Broad River. 

 " The whole country here stands on end, and is a mass of piled up rocks and 

 tilted strata. Here in the gullies and clefts Gemma abounded, in company with 

 N. Sosybius. I never saw it in the lowlands of the State." 



Mr. E. M. Aaron writes: "H. Gemma I took in swampy woods around Mary- 

 ville, east Tennessee, and at several points in western North Carolina. In fact, 

 through all the river and creek bottoms of east Tennessee and western North 

 Carolina it is moderately common. I have received it from the northern parts 

 of South Carolina, Georgia, and Alabama. My brother took quantities of it along 

 the river bottoms of the Gulf coast of Texas, and one specimen at Monterey, 

 Mexico. When taken on the mountains of Tennessee, it was never at any 

 altitude, and when far from running water was always badly worn."
