1890.] ENTOMOLOGICAL J^EWS. Ill 



Prof. Angelo Heilprin found two species of butterflies buried in the 

 snow on the glacier he discovered on the volcano of Ixtaccihuatl in Mexico. 

 There was a snow storm the previous night and the butterflies were evi- 

 dently blown up to this height (15,500 feet). The species \vere Colias 

 ctssonia and Terias sp. The specimen of Terias was in too bad a con- 

 dition to identify. 



Mr. Philip Laurent found Pamphila panoquin fresh and bright on June 

 29th, at Anglesea, N. J. He succeeded in getting the eggs, but the larvae 

 would not feed on ordinary grass. There is another brood on the Atlantic 

 coast which appears about August 22d, having been found at this time at 

 Cape May, N. J., by Dr. Skinner. The food-plant is supposed to be marsh 

 grass which grows in the salt meadows.
