thorny bushes which form most of the vegetation in that delightful

Erebia sofia Str. This species must be very local in its habits. It 

 is found in Yellowstone Park, on the north side of the low hills 

 where the grass and herbage is rank and green, and where the trees 

 are few and so scattered as to permit the sun to shine in in broad 

 patches. Its flight is regular and slow, and it does not wander far 

 from home. When they are frightened they fly only a few feet and 

 then drop down among the rank grass and crawl into the tangled 

 herbage, where they remain motionless. It is very diflicult, indeed, 

 to find them and almost impossible to make them fly up again. The 

 beautiful bright yellow spots change to a dirty yellowish white 

 after death. They are not at all x'are in Yellowstone Park about the 

 middle of July, if one knows exactly where to look for them.
