As a ready shown, variable in an extraordinary degree n 

 all localities, so that it is difficult to judge which is entitled 

 be called the normal or typical form. The most abunto 

 range, is that of those having the fore wings brown in some 

 shade, marbled or mottled «/; orcr with darker- but one o 

 extreme frequency has also a taint or more -l-;-™' ^ -] 

 band from a blackening of the space between 'he first nd 

 second lines; and another, also plentiful, ^s the doisal 

 mar..in and the broad band between the second and sub- 

 terminal lines of some light bright brown, while the enclosed 

 portion forms a very large, darker red-brown. P-T -teo«n. 

 or umbreous triangle along the costal halt of the wing 

 these characters are partially combined in those specimen 

 which with the broad pale hinder band have a dark cential 

 space, and in these there is in some individuals a deep black 

 horizontal bar above the dorsal margm, joining the fiist and 

 second lines. Another and rather different range of variation
