with dark brown dots. The body above is concolorous with the wings. 

 The antennae are distinctly annulated, and the club beneath is entirly 

 yellow, except the tip. Body and palpi below are same color as the 

 wings. 



The credit of tiirning up this new and interesting species is due 

 to Mr. F. M. Jones, of Wilmington, Del. Mr. Jones says re- 

 garding the species: "They were captured about one-half mile 

 south of Hamlet, Richmond County, North Carolina, on the 

 border of a small cane-brake. They were not met with on flowers 

 or in the grass, but sat on the leaves of the canes which bordered 

 the road, and when alarmed flew with great swiftness. Two were 

 taken August 23d, and the remaining two in the same locality 

 several days earlier. This species does not seem closely allied 

 to anything else, but will probably fall into the group containing 

 fjisca, eufala, osyka, etc. The spotted character of the under- 

 side of inferiors distinguishes this species from all others. 



ENTOMOLOGIZING ON MOUNT WASHINGTON.-Part I. 



ByR. Ottolengui, M.D.S., New York. 



On the morning of August 5th I started from Jefferson, N. H., 

 with my friend, Mr. Walter Perkins, of Manchester, en route for 

 the summit of Mount Washington. The train left at 7.45, at 

 which hour all the mountain tops were heavily clouded in. As 

 the skies were clear in all other directions we hoped that old Sol 

 would dissipate the mists ere we reached our destination. Be- 

 sides, it was Friday, and every one knows that Friday is a lucky 

 day upon which to start on an expedition. At least it has been 

 so with me. By the time we left Fabyan's on the curious obser- 

 vation train that goes from there to the base, the weather was 

 still more promising. The grade on this road is very steep, so 

 that the train does not tra'iiel at lightning speed. I make this 

 statement that my next may be believed. All along the road 

 Argyn7iis atlantis were extremely numerous. At times as the 

 train whirled by they rose in flight dozens in a group. This 

 tempted me to try catching insects from a moving train. Leaning 

 from the window with my net in readiness, I made a swoop upon 

 the next group that arose and imprisoned five. I had the same 

 experience last year, so that I can safely say the place for this 

 insect is along the road from Fabyan's to the base. Other but-
