Mr. Edwards has attempted to throw doubt upon my determination of the 

 species to which Abbot's drawings should be referred. To one who has seen 

 the drawings and is familiar with all the known species of the eastern coast, 

 thei'e can be no doubt. Boisduval was inclined to refer it to the Favonius 

 of Sm.-Abb., simply for want of a species which it would more resemble. 

 This we have in the strigosa of Harris, which (like Abbot's figure) is unlike 

 any other species in the extent and distribution of the paler markings of the 

 under surface of the wings. Boisduval's description was plainly not " drawn 

 from the plate," as Mr. Edwards says, but from Abbot's original drawing in 

 his possession, which I have carefully » xamined. A comparison of description 

 and plate will show this. That the p/ .te is a poor representation, no one will 

 deny; but it is sufficient, Avith the / cts I have produced, to determine the 

 species.
