204 THE CANADIAN ENTOMOLOGIST. 
specimens sent to Mr. Strecker were identified by him as MMelitea Batesii, 
Reakirt, described in Pro. Ent. Soc. of Phil., 1865. 
VANESSA (GRAPTA) PROGNE Cram.—aA single specimen taken at Fox 
Bay, Anticosti, on the 2oth June. Similar to the same species taken at 
Quebec. 
VANESSA ANTIOPA Lz#n.—One specimen captured at Fox Bay, Anti- 
cost, on the rgth July. 
PYRAMEIS CARDUI Zéinn.—This species occurs early on Anticosti. 
On my arrival at Fox Bay, they were worn and unfit for collection. 
PyRAMEIS ATALANTA.—Fox Bay, rare in June. 
CHIONOBAS—?—At Thunder River, Labrador, in July, I took one 
specimen of a species belonging to the above genus, which I sent to my 
esteemed friend, Mr. Strecker, who writes as follows :—“ I have compared 
it with Ch. Semidea, Crambis, jutta, Balder, also, Uhlerii, Taygete 
(Bootes), the only ones in my collection that could possibly have 
any affinity with it, but am afraid to pronounce it the same as any one of 
them. It isnearer to juéfa than to any other, but I won’t say it is it. 
After it is expanded, I will give it another examination.” Probably this 
is another instance in which we see the external change produced on the 
imago through the food plant of the caterpillar, and I have no doubt but it 
will turn out to be a variety of 7wffa. 
Lyczna—? (lV. S.)—I collected a few specimens of this species at 
Musquaro, Labrador, in July, 1867, a specimen of which was sent to Mr. 
Scudder, of Boston, in September following. Mr. S. wrote to me that it 
was, to the best of his knowledge, Z. Zygdamus Doubl., but he wished me 
to inform him whether the Labradorian specimens “ were all marked witha 
single spot on the secondaries, where his Hudson Bay specimens have 
two.” Not having a sufficient number to examine, the identification could 
not be determined at that time, but on my arrival at Fox Bay, Anticosti, 
it was the first butterfly that attracted my attention, and I was fortunate in 
obtaining twelve dozen of them. On lately referring to Mr. Scudder’s 
letter of Oct. 1st, 1867, the remarkable difference pointed out by him was. 
discernible in all my specimens, but, not knowing the species, I sent them 
to my subscribers as Z. Lygdamus. Mr. Morrison writes as follows :— 
“ Lycæna ?- (AN. S.)—You named this species Z. Lygdamus Doubl. I 
have compared your specimens very carefully with my specimens of the 
true Lygdamus from Northern New York, and am satisfied that it is a dis- 
tinct species. The color of the whole underside is different ; also, the
