EREBIA I. 



to Yancey's, on horseback. I went to the mountain with a company and a 

 guide, and could not stop to take insects. From tlie summit I was alone, and on 

 a pretty good trail, but as I had yet twenty miles to go before nightfall, you 

 may understand that I did not delay very much. The next day's travel was over 

 an arid and parched country, and mostly under cold and rainy sky, where nothing 

 flew. These Erebias were on sunny slopes, covered with the wild flowers of the 

 country, few of which were known to me. Every other butterfly seemed to be 

 Argynnis."
