7. Nathalis iole Boisduval (41). 



Not a rare insect in this locality. It may be found in May and 

 June in Switzer's Canon in the city. It also occurs throughout the 

 back country and in the mountains up to 3,500 feet altitude. Iole 

 flies low and is usually found in some dry, stony place or flying along 

 the road or path. Its flight is rather swift but as it always flies in a 

 straight line it is not very difficult to capture. 



8. Synchloe cethura Felder (47). 



I have taken but few specimens of this butterfly in the immediate 

 vicinity of San Diego. There seems to be no particular place where 

 it may be found, but it may be seen in canons and on the higher 

 ground as well during late spring. 



9. Synchloe reakirtii Edwards (49^). 



Mission Valley seems to be the metropolis of reakirtii in this 

 vicinity. During the spring of 1907 it flew there in thousands. It 

 may be taken also in almost any canon about the city. Sara is said 

 to occur at Pacific Beach (Wright's " West Coast Butterflies "), but I 

 have never taken it there or anywhere else in San Diego County. 



10. Callidryas eubule Linnaeus (52). 



Eubule is quite common about flower gardens. There seem to be 

 two forms of this butterfly in this region. Among the males a few are 

 found that have a considerable number of spots on the under side of 

 the vving, and there is occasionally found an individual having few or 

 no spots at all. Mr. Wright, in West Coast Butterflies, assigns the 

 former to the species sennoz Linnaeus, of which he says : " Taken by 

 me at Mazatlan on the west coast of Mexico ; it is not known in this 

 part of the country, but is liable to be found at Yuma and along the 

 Colorado River, if there is any plant there for it to feed upon." The 

 greater number of specimens taken about San Diego are referable to 

 senna; provided that the specimen figured by Mr. Wright represents a 

 valid species. I am informed by Mr. Victor L. Clemence, of Pasa- 

 dena, that he has taken a specimen of sennce at that place. Albinistic 

 females are found occasionally but are not common in this vicinity. 



11. Zerene eurydice Boisduval (60). 



12. Zerene bernardino Edwards {boa). 



Both of these forms have been taken by me in the city of San 

 Diego. In July, 1906, I took both also at Cottonwood Creek in the
