 There are also two specimens, one labeled "Specimen 4, Lake Supe- 

 rior," and the other labeled "Specimen 5, Va." Both of these agree 

 with the West Virginia form. In addition, there are three specimens 

 labeled with an orange disk ( = Georgia), one with light green disk 

 ( = Middle States) , all of which were doubtless before Le Conte when

The form which in 1891 and 1892 extended northward from the 

 normal range of the species into Virginia and West Virginia is repre- 

 sented in the revision series by specimens labeled "Hopk. W. Va. 9 

 individual 1" and "Hopk. W. Va. $ individual 1." The West Vir-
