  In 
  Colorado 
  I 
  have 
  taken 
  this 
  species 
  near 
  Fort 
  Collins 
  and 
  Can 
  

   yon 
  City, 
  at 
  the 
  former 
  phice 
  on 
  Virginia 
  creeper 
  and 
  wild 
  grape, 
  at 
  

   the 
  latter 
  on 
  cultivated 
  jdun). 
  The 
  si)ecimens 
  taken 
  from 
  Virginia 
  

   creejter 
  were 
  few 
  in 
  number 
  and 
  resembled 
  var. 
  zicznc 
  as 
  closely 
  as 
  

   typical 
  comes; 
  the 
  specimens 
  from 
  plum 
  were 
  exceediiigij^ 
  ahundant 
  so 
  

   as 
  to 
  do 
  considerable 
  injury 
  to 
  the 
  foliage. 
  I 
  have 
  also 
  a 
  single 
  si)eci- 
  

   men 
  that 
  1 
  swept 
  from 
  dwarf 
  oaks, 
  Qiiercus 
  ntuhilaia^ 
  at 
  Maniton, 
  this 
  

   State. 
  Mr. 
  Pergande's 
  specimens 
  were 
  from 
  oak 
  and 
  grape; 
  those 
  from 
  

   Professor 
  Forbes 
  bear 
  the 
  numbers 
  14877 
  and 
  17807, 
  'Sir. 
  Hart 
  writes 
  

   that 
  the 
  former 
  lot 
  were 
  taken 
  from 
  rye 
  and 
  the 
  latter 
  among 
  dried 
  

   leaves.

  do 
  not 
  consider 
  F'itch's 
  var. 
  arffiiiis 
  to 
  be 
  worth

  The 
  bnly 
  thing 
  that 
  Fitch 
  gives 
  to 
  separate 
  his 
  affinis 
  

   from 
  iH(sil((yis 
  is 
  the 
  yellow 
  instead 
  of 
  sanguineous 
  markings. 
  Any 
  of 
  

   the 
  Ti/plilocj/h/is 
  marked 
  with 
  bright 
  red 
  sometimes 
  occur 
  with 
  faint 
  

   yellow 
  markings, 
  and 
  in 
  basiUtrisl 
  timlall 
  gradations 
  from 
  those 
  marked 
  

   with 
  bright 
  red 
  to 
  those 
  having 
  the 
  niaikings 
  so 
  faint 
  as 
  to 
  be 
  hardly 
  

   discernible. 
  

  

  The 
  original 
  description 
  of

  follows:
