men of this sjjecies until recently, when a specimen was sent to me by 

 Dr. J. McDunnough through the kindness of Dr. G. Hewitt, the 

 Dominion Entomologist. 



11. A. snyderi Skin. I have a single specimen, as yet unexpanded, 

 which has lieen identified by Dr. McDunnough as this species. It was 

 taken by the late Capt. Harvey, at Vernon, in 1904. Dr. Fletcher, to 

 wliom it had been sent, returned it as "'undescribed." It was described 

 in 1897 from specimens taken in Utah. I have compared it with the 

 description, with which it agrees. 1 have not seen any others, although 

 I have examined a great.deal of Vernon material in the last few years. 



12. A. mormonia race erinna Edw. This is one of the small 

 Argynnids and so far has only been found in the Kootenay country. It 

 differs veiy little from the typical form mormonia, which occurs in Cali- 

 fornia and Southern Oregon. Erinna was described from Spokane, 

 Wash., and the name is retained to indicate the northern form. It 

 resembles closely the following species, but it can be distinguished by 

 its lighter colour and reduced black markings on the upper-side, and by 

 the total lack of green suffusion on the secondaries on the under-side ; in 

 this case the disk being suffused with cinnamon brown. 



13. A. bischoffi Edw. This species was described from Kodiak, 

 Alaska, in 1870. Mr. E, M. Anderson took two specimens at Atlin in 

 1914, which are the only records for B. C. In the Report Canadian 

 Arctic Expedition recently to hand, Gibson records the capture of a 

 single specimen at Ma3-o Lake in the Yukon, by Mr, J. Keele in 1904. 



14. A. bischofB race opis Edw. This species v^-as described- from 

 specimens taken at Bald Mt., Cariboo, and I have it from the Hope 

 Mountains, Kaslo, Field, and the Taku River.- It is the same insect that 

 has Iieen in our lists under the name of eurynome var. clio for many 

 years. Dr. D}'ar sunk opis as a synonym of clio, but this is not the case, 

 as the green scaling at the base of the secondaries on the under-side 

 show a greater affinity to bischoffi than to eurynome. This is the form 

 that has the spots entirely unsilvered. 



15. A, bischoffi race washingtonia B. & McD. This race was 

 described in April, 1913, from specimens taken by Dr. McDunnough on 

 Mt. Rainier, Wash. This is the southern representative of the Alaskan 

 bischoffi. This is the same butterfly that has been in our lists for many 

 years as eurynome, which, of course, with its race clio will now be 

 dropped and opis and washingtonia will take their place. Washingtonia 

 is considerably smaller than the average expanse of eurynome and the 

 spots are well-silvered. It has practically the same range as the pre- 

 ceding and will no doubt we found on all of the higher peaks of the 

 mountains of Southern British Columbia.
