 Twenty-two examples. 



Var. bryoniae Ochs. 



One female : Muir Inlet, June u. 



Var. hulda Edw. 



Eighteen examples : Kadiak, July 20 ; Cook Inlet, July 2 1 ; Kukak 

 Bay, July 5 ; Juneau, July 25 ; Popof Island, July 13 ; mainland near 

 Shumagin Islands, July (Mr. Palache). 



Var. acadica Edw. ?

 Chrysophanus dorcas KIRB., Faun. Bor. Am., 4, 229, pi. 4, 1837. 



Thirteen examples: Kadiak, July 20; Cook Inlet, July 21. 



The specimens vary enough to easily cover Edwards' description of
