  In 
  the 
  above 
  list 
  two 
  hundred 
  and 
  fifty-four 
  species 
  are 
  

   recorded, 
  and 
  represented, 
  as 
  in 
  the 
  detailed 
  memoranda 
  pre- 
  

   served 
  by 
  Mr. 
  Hill, 
  bu& 
  not 
  convenient 
  to 
  reproduce 
  in 
  these 
  

   pages, 
  in 
  796 
  examples, 
  viz.

  of

  Rhopalocera,

  The 
  preponderance 
  of 
  the 
  captures 
  of 
  male 
  Rhopalocera 
  is 
  

   very 
  marked, 
  being 
  120 
  per 
  cent 
  in 
  excess 
  of 
  the 
  females 
  : 
  of 
  

   the 
  Heterocera, 
  the 
  males 
  exceed 
  the 
  females 
  by 
  only 
  12 
  per 
  

   cent. 
  

  

  The 
  paucity 
  of 
  the 
  Sphingidse 
  and 
  Bombycidse 
  reported, 
  is 
  

   to 
  be 
  explained 
  by 
  the 
  late 
  date 
  at 
  which 
  the 
  collections 
  com- 
  

   menced. 
  Numerous 
  sphinges 
  had 
  been 
  observed, 
  attracted 
  

   to 
  light, 
  during 
  the 
  month 
  of 
  June. 
  The 
  period 
  of 
  greatest 
  

   abundance 
  of 
  most 
  of 
  the 
  Diurnals 
  both 
  in 
  species 
  and 
  in 
  in- 
  

   dividuals 
  had 
  also 
  passed. 
  On 
  the 
  5th 
  of 
  July, 
  Limenitis 
  

   Arthemis 
  was 
  still 
  abundant, 
  but 
  in 
  worn 
  condition. 
  At 
  this 
  

   date, 
  Mr. 
  Hill 
  captured 
  of 
  this 
  upland 
  species, 
  as 
  noted 
  above, 
  

   eighteen 
  examples, 
  upon 
  a 
  moist 
  spot 
  near 
  a 
  stream, 
  three 
  

   miles 
  distant 
  from 
  Fenton's 
  on 
  the 
  wagon-road 
  to 
  Lowville. 
  

   Two 
  visits 
  to 
  this 
  locality 
  were 
  afterward 
  made, 
  without 
  ob- 
  

   taining 
  additional 
  examples. 
  

  

  Among 
  the 
  Phalsenidse, 
  are 
  a 
  larger 
  number 
  of 
  northern 
  

   forms 
  than 
  might 
  have 
  been 
  expected 
  from 
  the 
  comparatively 
  

   moderate 
  elevation 
  at 
  which 
  the 
  collections 
  were 
  made. 
  The 
  

   following 
  of 
  the 
  species 
  are 
  recorded 
  by 
  Dr. 
  Packard 
  in 
  the 
  

   paper 
  before 
  referred 
  to, 
  as 
  circuit) 
  polar 
  or 
  subarctic 
  species, 
  

   " 
  ranging 
  between 
  the 
  isotherm 
  of 
  32° 
  and 
  44°, 
  and 
  also
