Plate II represents some butterflies and moths selected to test 

 this method of illustration. The dark Hesperids in the centre 

 row do not show up very well, as they needed a longer exposure 

 than the remainder to bring out sufficient detail for proper iden-

 and will be discussed in a paper to appear in the Proceedings of 

 the Academy of Natural Sciences of Philadelphia. The list of 

 species is as follows : i , Dasychira gronlandica 9 ; 2, /?. gron-

 been in any of our American lists); 4, Colias heclava.v. pallida,
