 sweep of the net into a "eloiul'' and seeured seven at one

 taken, but they were scarce. Indra and xoUeaon were found 

 tlyiug over a narrow and shallow part of the stream at the

 yeai's took it abundantly at Park City, Vtah. 



Plerls raihe, Aeracea and oceideiitalifi not iufre(iuently fell 

 victims to our nets, and from time to time the green under

 Hesperidae were scarce, and we only took Eudanms iifrada, 

 PamphiJa taxllcs, Pholisora vatulhis and Xisoniadrs Jumiatis. 

 J'Jjjicallia c'u'jfinalls in its multitude of variations w;is quite 

 abundant. W'e visited the caiion also on the 5th and (>th of
