NOTES KELATIYE TO SOME VARIETIES OF LEPlDorTKRA. 



HESPERIA rOC'llAHONTAS, SciuldtT, I am coniidont is a Melanotic Female variety 

 of'H. Hobomok, Harris. During the month of June, tor a number of years, I have taken in 

 riome meadows, a mile or so from Reading, Pa., ITobomok male and female in large numbers; 

 also Pochahontas at the same time and place, but in upwards of twenty }-ears collecting, I 

 have never yet captured or even seen a male Pochahontas, nor have I ever seen Pochaliontas 

 unless Hobomok was also in the .same vicinity. A number of naturalists and collectors assure 

 me of the same facts. Even a casual examination of the under surface will show that the 

 markings in Hobomok and Pochahontas are the same in delineation, though not in color. 



VANESSA LINTNERII, Fitch. 1 have of this variety of V. Antiopa, lour examples, 

 two of which were taken in the sexual act. 



EUCH/ETES EGLE. If the white EuehaHes Egle is an Albina var. of (he slate colored 

 one, why is it that where the white one is abundant, tlie grey one docs not occur? On the line 

 of the East Pennsylvania Railroad, near Reading, Pa., the white one can be taken by hun- 

 dreds, but I have never met with a grey one in tliis county, (Berks), while Mr. Edw. Graef, 

 of Brooklyn, N. Y., a most careful collector, says that he has taken the grey one in some 

 localities in large numbers, but has never seen a white one in the .same places.
