 orado and on the Alps, distributed over the mountain above the 

 tree line, and in one case below it. The following are all the 

 localities in which it was observed : on the Ledge, three or 

 four worn specimens from July 1 to 3 ; a few feet above " San- 

 born's Camp" ; on the flat land in the neighborhood of Wiley's 

 House, and here feeding with Chion. semidea on the flowers of 

 Cassiope hypnoides Don. ; among the rocks near the Summit 

 House ; over the entire southern slope of the mountain, from 

 the carriage road to the edge of the ravines ; down the precip- 

 itous descent into Tuckerman's Ravine, one specimen was taken 

 at the foot, among birches two or three feet high. 



Plusia ma/ppa G. & R. One specimen was found by Mr. 

 Blanchard on a shrub near the carriage road, on June 29, 

 another was taken at sugar near the camp, on July 6.

 duced this species ; a worn specimen was also captured at light 

 near the camp, on July 8.
