The records from Anne Arundel County, Md., and Biscayne Bay. 

 Fla., are interesting in being from regions of a type not usually 

 inhabited by this butterfly, and we would like to see them confirmed. 

 We confess to a certain amount of doubt in regard to them. 



Capt. N. D. Riley wrote us that there is in the British Museum a 

 specimen from Lord Walsingham's collection labeled " California." 

 Lord Walsingham himself collected only in northern California, 

 mainly in Colusa, Shasta, and Siskiyou Counties in July and August, 

 1871. He was always exceedingly careful regarding the labeling of 

 his material. The specimen was presumably acquired by purchase or 

 otherwise, and was mislabeled before coming into his possession. Dr. 

 John A. Comstock, whose word regarding the occurrence of butterflies 

 in California we consider as final, writes us that this species does not 

 occur in California, and Commander Charles M. Dammers, whose 

 knowledge of Californian butterflies is exhaustive, is equally positive 

 on this point. 



RANGE AND DISTRIBUTION 



According to Forbes, the specimen recorded from Brooklyn by 

 White was presumably a stray individual. In New Jersey it is said to 

 be taken rarely by the Newark collectors, and in Pennsylvania we 

 know it only from Lititz, where it appears to be rare. It has not been 

 found in Delaware, and in Maryland it is known only from Anne 

 Arundel County, where in 1900 it was said to be common ; from a 

 single individual recorded from Collington ; and from near Great
