A pair from 140° W., 67"' 40 N., 14, vii, and one from 

 Point Epworth, 11, vii, are perfectly fresh, and seem to 

 show that this species is barely separable from the Asiatic 

 form, ero, Brem. Cf. Trans. Ent. Soc Lond., 1899, p. 847. 



I previously had only bad specimens from Hudson Bay 

 for comparison. Recently I have received a fresh female 

 taken by Mr. Sampson in Frobisher Bay, Baffin's Land, 

 14, vii, 02. 



The fringes of these three are all grey, which is not the 

 case in any of my Altai specimens however fresh, though 

 slightly evident in some from Transbaikalia.

Several pairs in beautiful condition from Barren Grounds, 

 Gray's Bay, and Point Epworth ; vary a good deal in the 

 breadth, shape, and distinctness of the bands on hind-wing 

 below. Two show the marginal row of whitish spots on 

 hind-wing very distinctly, these are usually faint or absent 

 in Labrador specimens.

Five specimens from Barren Grounds and one from Point 

 Epworth, fresh and in good order, must, I think, be referred 

 to one of these species. I might call them pcartix, Edw., 

 or assimilis, Butl, but they are intermediate between the 

 types of those two forms in the British Museum, being 

 rather less conspicuously banded on hind-wing below than 

 the former, and rather more so than the latter. 



Some of them show more or less trace of the marginal 

 row of grey spots on hind-wing, which at first led me to
