156 THE ENTOMOLOGIST. 



14. Junonia coenia, Hiib. Occasionally met with in March 

 and April. 



15. Limenitis (Basilarchia) Zorgimii, Boisd. Freshly emerging 

 during the first fortnight in April. The best place for it was the 

 Holly Springs Valley, where, I was told on good authority, that 

 a little later on it occurs in great abundance. I also took it near 

 Glendale and in Santa Monica Canyon. 



16. Lemonias virgulti, Behr. One male specimen only from 

 "Look-out" Mountain, above Laurel Canyon, in March. I never 

 saw another. 



17. Lyccena sonorensis, Felder. This exquisite little butterfly 

 was on the wing in Santa Monica Canyon on April 2nd. The 

 females were quite as common, if not more so, than the males, 

 and were in better condition. It was fairly common in one 

 restricted area near a stream right down in the canyon, but I 

 failed to find it farther up the gorge, and never came across it at 

 all in any other locality. 



18. L. acmon, Dbl.-Hew. Was fairly common in March and 

 April. The best place for it was a very flowery mountain side, 

 intersected with small gullies, on the way to the Universal City. 



19. L. antiacus, Boisd. Very common everywhere in March 

 and April. 



20. L. pseudargioliLs, Boisd. -Lee. Widely distributed in Feb- 

 ruary, March, and April, but not very common. 



21. Thecla melinus, Hiib. Occasionally met with on summits 

 of hills and elsewhere, 



22. Thecla affinis, Edw. Very common everywhere. 



23. Coenonympha California, Dbl.-Hew. Most of the specimens 

 I took were of the winter form — var. galactinus, Boisd. — but one 

 or two I have are undoubtedly var. eryngii, Edw. I came across 

 a small brood of this most interesting little butterfly, all more or 

 less passe, at the very beginning of February, at the foot of 

 Hollywood Mountain. Afterwards this insect entirely vanished, 

 till it began to reappear about the middle of March, when it soon 

 became abundant on all the foot-hills around Hollywood and 

 elsewhere. Some of the specimens were so white as to be easily 

 mistaken for a small Pieris when on the wing. The females were 

 always scarce. 



24. Hesperia tessellata, Scud. This was the commonest 

 Skipper round Los Angeles in March and April. 



25. Thanaos clitiis, Edw. Common on " Look-out" Mountain, 

 and occurred in many other localities in March and April. 



26. Atrytone melane, Edw. Met with here and there, but 

 never very abundant.
