more of a yellowish shade. The specimens were taken as follows: Bernard har- 

 bour, Northwest Territories, August 6, 1915 (F. Johansen); Cockburn point, 

 (near Bernard harbour), Northwest Territories, September 2, 1914 (F. Johansen). 



In the Canadian National collection at Ottawa is another specimen taken 

 in the Yukon Territory, namely, in the Klotassin river area, lat. 62 31' to 63 

 06', long. 137 30' to 139 30', summer of 1916 (D. D. Cairnes). 



On July 25, 1912, Dr. Cairnes, while at Tindir creek, Yukon Territory, 

 took a female of hypophlceas which approaches arethusa of Dod. This specimen 

 is also in the Ottawa collection.

Fletcher 1 recorded this species from Devil's Portage, Liard river (long. 

 126 100, July 17, 1887 (McConnell.) No specimens were brought back by 

 members of the Canadian Arctic Expedition. In the Government collection 

 at Ottawa are three specimens from the Yukon Territory, taken on the Wagon 

 road, between Dawson and Whitehorse, 1908, by Mr. George Stewart.

In the Canadian National collection there are several specimens from the 

 Yukon and other northern localities which we have associated with this species. 

 Records of these specimens will be of interest to readers of this report. They 

 are from the following localities: Lansing river, Yukon Territory, June 24, 1905 

 (J. Keele); Pelly river, below Hoole river, Yukon Territory, July 5, 1905 (J. 

 Keele); Upper Pelly river, Yukon Territory, August 3, 1887 (G. M. Dawson); 

 Little Charlton island, Hudson bay, July 14, 1887 (J. M. Macoun); Charlton 

 island, Hudson bay, July 7, 1887 (J. M. Macoun) 2 ; Wagon road, 9 miles from 

 Whitehorse, Yukon Territory, July 7, 1908 (G. Stewart); west side of lake 

 Kluane, near Jacquot's roadhouse, Yukon Territory, August 2, 1914 (D. D. 

 Cairnes); Stewart river, Yukon Territory, July 17, 1905 (J. Keele); Dawson, 

 Yukon Territory, 1908 (collector unknown). 3 



It must be admitted, however, that th'ere is a misunderstanding regarding 

 the species to which the name scudderi should be definitely given. The type 

 locality is " Lake Winnipeg," but I am informed by Dr. J. McDunnough that 

 the actual types cannot be found. Much further study of material from type 

 localities is required of the scudderi-melissa-anna group before the standing of 

 these species will be stable. 



The specimen from Upper Pelly river, August 3, 1887 (G. M. Dawson), is 

 undoubtedly the specimen referred to by Fletcher in the Annual Report of the 

 Geological Survey of Canada, 1887, p. 230s, under the name of Lyccena skasta. 



The example from Pelly river below Hoole river, July 5, 1905 (Keele), 

 was recorded in the Entomological Record, 1907, 4 as Rusticus anna. 



The underside of the male from west side of lake Kluane, Yukon Territory, 

 is shown on PI. Ill, fig. 15.
