NOTES KKLATIVE TO SOME VARIETIES OF LEriDOPTKKA. 



1 1 ESPER 1 A rOCITAIIONTAS, Scudtlor, I am confi.kMit is a Mehuiotic Eoiiialo xaricty 

 of II. Ilobomok, Harris. During tlie month of June, for a number of years, 1 have taken in 

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

 also Pochaliontas at the same time and place, but in ujjwards of twenty years collecting, 1 

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

 unless Hobomok was also iu 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 arc the same in delineation, though not in color. 



YA:NE8SA LIXTXI:RI1, Fitch. I have of this variety of V. Aiitiopa, I'our cxaiiij)l(-, 

 two of which were taken in the sexual act. 



EUCILETES EGLE. If the white Eucha?tes Eglc is an Albiiia var. of the slate colored 

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

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

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

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

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