 noted frequently from Banning to Strawberry Valley and from there 

 towards Hemet; it also occurred in Deep Canon. 



This form was especially abundant at "Hall Grade," Snow Creek, 

 Banning. Sehain's Ranch, and Dos Palmos Spring. On the road 

 between Sehain's and Fuller's Hill in one morning about three dozen 

 were observed in sunny places below the pine belt. The area of greatest 

 population was between 4000 and 5000 feet. This species occurs in 

 Upper and Lower Sonoran zones and in small numbers in the Tran- 

 sition zone. 



The individuals present a wide range of variation in color and 

 pattern which corresponds to Van Denburgh's description (1897, p 

 67).
