ing a stony wash in the bottom of a canon. In Mission Valley it 

 flies among the tall weeds quite plentifully during August and Sep- 

 tember. Its habit of flying, close to the ground makes it a rather 

 difficult capture. 



44. Habrodias grunus Boisduval (327). 



One specimen taken near Campo in July, 1906, appears to an- 

 swer to the description of this species. However, the damaged condi- 

 tion of the specimen makes it a little doubtful. Taken is some num- 

 bers on Volcan Mt., July, 1907. 



45. Atlides halesus Cramer (329). 



Four specimens, three males and one female, were taken in 

 Jacumba Valley during July, 1906. This is evidently the extreme 

 western edge of its range. 



46. Uranotes melinus Hiibner (335). 



Quite common about the city from late spring to late summer. 

 One rarely sees more than one or two at a time. 



47. Thecla dryope Edwards (343). 



Very common along the water courses from the coast to the moun- 

 tains. I have taken as many as twenty-five in half an hour, and dur- 

 ing the spring of 1907 they were very thick on the flowers of Amorpha 

 californica in Mission Valley. 



48. Thecla saepium Boisduval (354). 



This fiery little fellow flies in great numbers about the greasewood 

 from the coast to the mountains. It is particularly plentiful at the 

 higher altitudes. 



49. Thecla adenostomatis Hy. Edwards (35 6 )- 



The only place in or near the city that I have ever seen this insect 

 is in a canon just west of the State Normal School. It flies in great 

 numbers among the foothills back from the coast where Adenostoma 

 fasciculata abounds. 



50. Thecla loki Skinner, 1907 (not listed). 



Mr. Geo. Field and myself took about twenty specimens of this 

 butterfly in July, 1906, near Jacumba. It was flying about the Juni- 

 per trees at about 3,500 feet elevation. Dr. Henry Skinner has 

 described it in an article published in Fntomological News for 

 November, 1907.
