On the flowery slopes of the Ru]jy and East Hunibohlt Mountains, at 

 an altitude of 7,500-10,000 feet, this little Plumnier was abundant iu 

 August and September, in company with Sdaspliorus plaUjcercus ; the habits 

 and appearance of the two species being so much alike that we never knew 

 which was before us until the specimen was secured. The range of the 

 species is doubtless almost universal throughout the Basin, like that of Tro- 

 dillus alexandri and Sdaspliorus riifns.
