 Museum of Natural History and in my own collection. 

 Since that time numerous additional specimens have come 

 before me, throwing much new light on the subject. The 

 fresh material consists of one specimen obtained by the late

 material, it appears that the Brunswick examples differ as 

 regards coloration from those of Great Britain and Roumania 

 in that the underside is not white, but strongly washed with 

 yellowish buff, while the upperside is more uniform, the
