c?. Rapids of the Drowned, Slave River, 1st July; 

 ? . Pulo River,, near Mackenzie Delta, 15th July. 



I have failed to discover any published description of this 

 very distinct species, and therefore have ventured to name it. 



37. Tephrinctj sp. 



I have not discovered any name for this species, but we 

 have a fair series of it in the Museum from the Dalles and 

 Rouge River, collected by Lord Walsingham. It is there- 

 fore quite possible that Mr. H. Edwards may have described 

 it in one of his numerous papers on Californian Lepidoptera.
