have assumed a distinct facies, due, undoubtedly, to the peculiar 
isolation and meteorologic conditions of that region. It was the 
intention of the late Beverly Letcher to describe and name this 
form. 
It gives me great pleasure to name this local form in honor of 
my friend, Mr. James Edward Cottle of San Francisco, well known 
as a collector of the Lepidoptera around Mt. Shasta and San Fran- 
cisco bay, and the care displayed in the preparation of his captures. 
Not less is his personality at entomological meetings; and it was 
himself who pointed out to me the distinctive points, the desirability 
of naming it, and presented several specimens to me, and supplied 
the accompanying photograph, and who will be pleased to defend 
the naming of it against any criticism.
