melted, close to the bank leading down to the marsh. It was a perfect specimen and I 

 presume had probably just emerged from the pupa, and fallen into the water, where it 

 had ended its short existence. 



Argynnis Atlantis, — This butterfly was very common at the Forks of the Credit, on 

 the 1st July, especially on the milk weed, where it could have been taken in any numbers. 



Argynnis Bellona. — Appeared to be fairly common at Lome Park. Took two 

 specimens on the 11th July. Saw several more. 



Argynnis Myrina. — To me this insect was very rare this last summer. Only saw 

 one specimen during the whole season, and that I took in the early part of the summer. 



Libythea Bachmani. — This very pretty butterfly, Fig. 90, so easily recognized b\ its 

 I , long palpi and angled forewings is seldom met with 



in Canada. I had the pleasure of taking a perfect 

 specimen at Caesarea, Lake Scugog, on the 12th Aug- 

 ust last. The only previous Canadian captures of 

 this insect, which have been recorded up to August, 

 of this year, have been made at Toronto, Port Stanley, 

 London and Hamilton.

W Chrysophanus Tlioe. — (Fig. 91 the male ; Fig. 92 



the female.) Although this insect has often been met 

 with in Toronto, I have never taken it here. While 

 away on my holidays, I took my first specimen at Caesarea, on the 12th August. Only 

 saw the one specimen.

Pieris Napi — Summer form Oleracea-cestiva. — This butterfly was very common at 

 the Forks of the Credit, on the 1st July. I could have taken any number of specimens 

 but confined myself to about 30. I also took this insect at Caesarea, Ont., on the 12th 

 August, where it also appeared to be fairly common. I might add that I took one 

 specimen at Lome Park, on the 11th July. 



Meganostoma Caesonia. — (Fig 93 ) As has been previously mentioned this insect 



made its first appearance in this neighbor- 

 hood during the past season, and was 

 fairly common. The first time I noticed 

 it was on the 13 th June, when I took 

 three specimens, and also observed it sev- 

 eral times later in the same month, and 

 on the first of July at the Forks of the 

 Credit. 



Papilio A j ax. -While strolling through 

 High Park, on the afternoon of the 14th 

 June, I observed, to me, the first living 

 representative of this Papilio flying veiy 

 Fig. 93. slowly over some small bushes. On June 



20th I succeeded in taking a worn specimen and on the 23rd of the same month siiw 

 another specimen which looked to be perfect, but as I did not have any appliances handy, 

 did not take it. I also observed this butterfly on the 1st and 11th July.
