o'clock one was captured on the white flowers of a patch of the 

 mountain sandwort (Arenaria groenlandica), about, two hundred 

 feet below the summit. 



Individuals of Eurymus were common, but the northerh' 

 gale made it next to impossible to capture any. It was observed, 

 however, that the flowers of the alpine golden rod {Solidago alpestris) 

 proved an almost irresistible attraction for them, so that bv 

 waiting at a clump of the plant below the summit and out of the 

 wind, thirteen specimens were taken between ten and eleven 

 o'clock, of which 6 were E. interior, all males, and 7 were philodice, 

 4 males, 3 females. 



At eleven we started homeward, and arrived in the valley 

 just at the close of a storm that had been in progress below us all 

 the morning. 



Following is the list of species, with the total number of each 

 observed during the two days spent on the summit: 

 • Iphiclides ajax L. vav. telanionides 



Felder 1 specimen 



Papilio glaticns L. form turnus L. . .3 specimens 



Pontia rapae L 1 specimen 



Eurymus philodice Godart Common 



• Eurymus interior Scudder Apparently common 



Argynnis sp. {aphrodite Fabr. ?) 1 specimen 



Eugonia j-album Boisd. & Lee 1 specimen 



Vanessa atalanta L 4 specimens 



Vanessa huntera Fabr 3 specimens 



Basilarchia arthemis Drury 2 specimens 



A single Hesperid, probably Erynnis sassacus Harris or 

 ThymelicMS mystic Scudder. 



Total number of species observed 11 



Mr. G. F. Comstock has also captured Eurymus interior in 

 the Adirondack region, specimens having been taken in the Marcy 

 marsh and at the summit of Mount Baxter, near Keene Valley 

 (Entomological A' ews •4- 197). 



While perhaps out of place in this article, it is of interest to 

 record the capture of a second male specimen of Iphiclides ajax 

 telamonides in North Elba along the road to Keene (about 2,000 ft. 

 altitude). This specimen was taken on the flowers of the giant 

 fireweed {Chamaenerion angustifolium) , on July 17, 1912.
