is hardly incorrect so far as shown by measurements, the rounded 

 middle part of the dorsal edge would incline me to designate it 

 as obliquely oblong- at least, which gives a somewhat better idea 

 of the shape. 



Miss Eastwood's description of L. Goldsteinae, Bull. Torr. 

 Club '.VI: 197. 1905, seems to answer perfectly to out plant, 

 except that she docs not mention the emarginate banner. She 

 also describes the wings as oblong. The style in her type is 

 "sparingly hairy half way from the tip," while in our plants it 

 is hairy just below the tip, with some faint traces of the "scab- 

 rous bearded line extending down nearly the whole length" 

 m ntioned by Kellogg. While I have not seen the type of L. 

 Goldsteinae^ I am inclined to think it is the same as L. Lansz- 

 wertii. 



Our specimens are Kennedy 1624 and f2jo, respectively 

 from Hunter creek canyon and Galena creek, Washoe county, 

 and Heller 10204 ^ roni Slide mountain, Washoe county. These 

 localities are only a few miles east of the type station of L. Gold- 

 steinae^ and Kellogg's type no doubt came from this same region. 

 He says "sent from Washoe," and the present Washoe, lying at 

 the foot of Slide mountain was once a populous mining camp. 

 Hut in those days Nevada was called Washoe, although botan- 

 ical ly it was the country about the towns of Washoe, Virginia 

 City and Carson.
