PL. XVIII 



ently arranged, the most conspicuous being a bar at the end 

 and a round spot at the base of the cell of the hind wing. Ex- 

 panse, cf, 1.50 inch; 9, 1.75 inch. 



A small species living on the summit of Mt. Washington, 

 New Hampshire, where a little colony has survived the glacial 

 epoch, when the northeastern parts of the United States were 

 covered with glaciers, as Greenland is to-day. 



(3) Brenthis bellona (Fabricius), Plate XVIII, J 1 (The 

 Meadow Fritillary). 



The only species of the genus, except B. myrina, found in 

 the densely settled portions of the continent. Easily dis- 

 tinguished from myrina by the absence on the under side of 

 the wings of the silvery spots, which make the Silver-bordered 

 Fritillary so attractive. It is generally found upon the wing 

 in the late summer and the fall of the year. In Pennsyl- 

 vania it may be found when the asters are in bloom. 



Common throughout Canada and the northern United 

 States as far west as the Rocky Mountains and as far south 

 as the Carolinas. Expanse 1.65-1.80 inch.
