Of this interesting form I have one specimen, taken at Fort Snelling 

 late in the fall of 1905. 



14 (65) Eurymus eurytheme Bd. Orange Sulphur. 



Common. This species was more abundant in 1908 than at any 

 other year within my memory. In 1909 and 1910 it was rare, in 1912 

 it again appeared in large numbers, while in 191 3 it was scarce. In 

 the female of this species in late summer a form occurs (albinic var). 

 My earliest record of any such forms is August 25. 



15 (65) Eurymus philodice God. Roadside Sulphur. 



Common ; but is never found in such large numbers as the preced- 

 ing species. Like curythcmc, the female of this species is subject 

 to albinism. I have taken such albinos as early as July 4. Of the 

 typical form philodice I have several specimens from Roseau County. 

 From Minneapolis, June 30, October 17. 



16 (81) Pyrisita mexicana Bd. Mexican Sulphur. 



One specimen takeil by Mr. C. Webster at Fort Snelling, October 5, 

 1912. 



17 (85) Eurema euterpe Men. Little Sulphur. 



Rare. I have one specimen taken at Columbia Heights, northeast 

 Minneapolis, August 28, 1912. 



Family Nymphalidae. 



18 (92) Euptoieta claudia Cr. Variegated Fritillary. 



Not very common in this vicinity. I took my first specimen of this 

 jpecies in 1908, and have since taken several every summer. This 

 species goes much further north than formerly supposed. I have 

 specimens from Roseau County although it is not common there. 

 Specimens from Minneapolis, June 25, October 15. A number of 

 larvae of this species found feeding on garden pansy in his garden 

 by Mr. H. H. Welch of this city and reared to imagos in 1913. 



19 (95) Speyeria idalia Dru. Regal Fritillary. 



Common locally; in July and August in open fields. In the north- 

 west corner of Fort Snelling reservation, on an area of about 60 

 acres, numbers of these butterflies can be found every summer, while 

 outside of this tract they are totally absent. Specimens from Fort 

 Snelling, July 4, September 5. Reported as common in the Red River 

 valley, between Fergus Falls and Crookston, by M. P. Somes, 1912. 



20 (99) Argynnis cybele Fab. Great Spangled Fritillary. 



This, the commonest of the larger fritillaries in the state, flies 

 from June to September. Very common at Badger and Roseau (Fryk- 

 lund). Specimens from Fort Snelling, June 12, August 7. 



21 (100) Argynnis aphrodite Fab. Aphrodite. 



Rare. I have only two specimens from the state. Fort Snelling, 

 July 6, 1911, August II, 1912. 



22 (100a) Argynnis aphrodite var. alcestis Edw.
