taken in this region of late years. Mr. Geo. Field took a pair at 

 Lakeside in the spring of 1906. 



19. Eurema nicippe Cramer (S3). 



Nicippe is said to be quite common during the summer in the 

 mountains ; however, I do not know this from my own observation. 

 It is not at all common on the coast, though single specimens are 

 sometimes taken. 



20. Agraulis vanillas Linnaeus (91). 



In the fall of the year this butterfly may be seen in considerable 

 numbers wherever the passion vine is grown. It is quite variable in 

 size in this locality. 



21. Argynnis callippe Boisduval (116). 



I have never taken callippe in anything like large numbers in this 

 locality. Whatever specimens are taken here are probably strays. 

 It is undoubtedly a valley butterfly but its home is probably back 

 from the coast some distance though at no great elevation. About a 

 dozen specimens have been taken here in the last two years. 



22. Argynnis semiramis Edwards (124). 



During the year 1906 I took a few specimens of this species in a 

 little valley some ten miles east of Campo. It was also taken in con- 

 siderable numbers at Morena Buttes. Mr. Geo. Field tells me that 

 he saw it in hundreds on Volcan Mt. this year. It was found for 

 the most part on the tall brakes and ferns that abound in that locality. 



23. Lemonias chalcedon Doub. & Hewit (148). 



I have but two specimens of this butterfly taken in Switzer's Canon 

 in the eastern part of the city during 1906. Early in the spring of this 

 year one of my school boys took two females on the hill just above 

 the bridge that crosses this canon at University Ave. These are all 

 that I have seen in two years. 



24. Lemonias quino Behr ( 154). 



There is some difference of opinion in regard to this species on 

 this coast. It is published in Wright's " West Coast Butterflies" as 

 Melitcea augusia Edwards ; however Mr. Fordyce Grinnell, who has 

 studied the species from specimens furnished by me, has pronounced 

 it L. quino (vide Canadian Entomologist, Vol. XX XIX. p. 380). 

 Quino (?) occurs in this locality in great numbers during the early 

 spring. An occasional aberration (.1/. augustina Wright) is found 

 among the males. Two were taken in the spring of 1907.
