134 ON SOME LEPIDOPTERA FROM WEST OF HUDSON'S BAY. 



All four species received in :i niiiiilicr of examples, but noiu- present any parilcular points of difference from those found in 

 Labrador. 



Vanessa Antiopa, L. All cxunii>les of small size. 



Vanessa {Antiopa) ab. Hvqi.ka, Ildr. ( V. Lintnerii, Fitch). One example, the black snbmarginal band with its enclosed row 

 of blue spots entirely wanting'; the yellow marginal band nearly twice the width that it is in the normal form of Antiopa. 



Vaness.\ Milbeeti, Godt. The same in all respects as in other localities. Common. 



Vanessa (Zephyrus) var. Gracilis, G.-R. Only one example, whicli differs from those from the White Mts. in the basal half 

 of under side, which is without the reddish suffusion ; the white mesial band is not so bright, being more covered with fine abbreviated 

 dark lines. 



Limenitis Arthemis, Dm. Of small size, expanding not quite 2} inches. The white bands, especially on primaries, broa<ier 

 than usual. On under side the groun<l colour very strongly suffused with reddish though not much more so than in some few extreme 

 varieties I have seen from N. York and elsewhere; no indications of greenisli at base of secondaries; all the space between the white 

 band on secondaries, and greenish marginal lunules, is brownish red, not set in red liinules bordered above and below with black as is 

 commonly the case. Several examples were received. 



Erbbia Discoidaijs, Kirby. Of this beautiful species, so rare in collections, over a h\indre(l examples were received. It is 

 a constant species exhibiting scarce any variation. 



Chionobas Jutta, HuVj. Several examples, ground colour of both surfaces darker, giving them a more opaque appearance 

 than is exhibited in those from North Europe. 



Alypia MACcuiiLOCHii, Kirby. Two examples. 



Macroglossa Klavofasciata, Barnston. One ? example. 



Aectia Parthenos, Harris (A. Borealis, Mosch.). One ? example in very poor condition.
