ENTOMOLOGICAL SOCIETY OF ONTARIO. 



Papilio Phllenor. — (Fig. 94.) I should not like to say for sure, but I am pretty 

 well satisfied that [ saw a specimen of this butterfly in High Park, on the 20th June. 

 Gave chase to it but to no effect. I do not know whether this Papilio has ever been 

 taken in Toronto or not.

Catocala cerogama. — This was one of our commonest Catocalas here this year. One 

 night alone over twenty specimens were taken. It is usually a rather uncommon moth, 

 and of late years has not been met with very often. 



Catocala ilia. — This beautiful moth was quite plentiful at "sugar" during the past 

 geason. I took my first specimen on the 20th July and also secured it several times later. 



Catocala neogama. — I took one specimen of this insect on the 3rd August. This is 

 considered to be a rather rare Catocala in thia locality. 



Catocala retecta. — The black underwings are always eagerly sought after. Several 

 retectas were taken here this year. I took my first one on the 24th August. 



Catocalas were unusually early this year, most of them being taken in July and 

 August, while in other years I have always taken them towards the end of August and 

 beginning of September. 



THE BUTTERFLIES OF THE EASTERN PROVINCES OF CANADA. 



By Rev. C. J. S. Bethune, Port Hope, Ont. 



In our 25th Annual Report for 1894, pages 29-44, I gave a list of the Butterflies of 

 the Eastern Provinces of Canada, so far as known to me, with localities and other 

 observations. So many interesting records and rare captures have been made since its 

 publication, in addition to those given in the preceding paper by Mr. Arthur Gibson, 

 that it seems desirable to publish them here. For convenience of reference, I prefix to 

 the name of the species the number given in the 1894 list.

 Scotia Institute of Natural Science, vol. ix., part I., page xix.)
