NO. 7 THE GOLD-BANDED SKIPPER CLARK 3 



We are under special obligations to the late Foster H. Benjamin and 

 to Dr. William Schaus, of the Bureau of Entomology and Plant 

 Quarantine, who permitted us to study the material under their care, 

 and in addition aided us in every possible way. 



To Dr. John A. Comstock, Associate Director of the Los Angeles 

 Museum, and to Commander Charles M. Dammers, of Riverside, 

 Calif., we are indebted for their courtesy in answering our inquiries 

 regarding the possible occurrence of this butterfly in California. 



During a visit to St. Louis Dr. Edwin P. Meiners told us of a 

 specimen that had been captured in that State, and later was so very 

 kind as to send us complete information in regard to it.
