wants, and he was partly aware of my situation, but there being no 
schooner going west from the place at the time, he kindly sent me off in 
a schooner belonging to the Mission, in company with two Indian sailors, © 
who brought me to Bersiamits. I was therefore compelled to leave Min- 
gan about the 2oth of July, while I was searching for Colias interior, 
Argynnis. Boisduvali and Lycena Scudder’. ‘The specimens collected on 
Anticosti were not with the destroyed collection—they are safe—and are 
all I can send my subscribers this year, but, if God spares me, it is my 
intention to return next May to collect the lost species, which can be 
obtained without going into the section of country occupied by these 
Indians. : 
As soon as I send off the material to my subscribers, I will write 
an article on the Entomology of Anticosti.” 
We deeply regret to hear of the severe loss Mr. Couper has thus sus- 
tained, and cannot but admire his perseverance in determining to revisit 
these northern districts next year to endeavor to replace his lost material. 
We sincerely hope he will be eminently successful. We also hope soon 
to be able to furnish our readers with the promised paper from Mr. Cou- 
pers pen.—Ep. C.E. 
LIBYTHEA MotTyA.—I captured on the 2nd of September, near Hobo- 
ken, N. J.,a Zibythea motya (Bois & Lec,) at least I presume it to be 
that species, that being the only one given to the. U.S. in Kirby's new 
Catalogue. I should be glad to learn through the columns of the 
CANADIAN ENTOMOLOGIST in what portions of North America this butter- 
fly has been found. The specimen captured by me is very close to L. 
Myrrha (Godt.,) the habitat of whichis the East Indies. | It is, however, 
somewhat smaller. W. V. ANDREWS. 
The insect described by Dr. Kirtland as Z. dachmani is probably a 
variety only of Z. motya of B. & L. This has been taken in Ohio, and 
also at Hamilton, in Ontario. It has also been received by us from W.H. 
Edwards, Esq., of West Virginia.—Ep. C. E.
