FIELD AND FOREST. 119 



side of primaries a shade lighter, the spots repeated, and of same size 

 as above ; secondaries wholly dusted with gray scales ; beyond the 

 disk a row of five small white points nearly parallel to the hind mar- 

 gin, only the second from costa being out of line in the direction of 

 the base ; on costal margin two similar spots, one midway between 

 apex and base, the other between the first and base ; in the cell a 

 small white spot or point. 



Body above brown, below gray -white ; legs gray and brown ; palpi 

 pure white, with brown and black hairs above ; antennae annulated 

 black and white ; club black, whitish next tip, the tip dark brown. 



From a single example sent me by Mr. Boll and taken by him in 

 Texas, in 1877. The macular surface of the under side of secondaries 

 readily distinguishes this species.

 spots near apex, a point in each of the two median interspaces in a line 

 oblique to the spots ; also a point within and near end ot cell below the

Under side of both wings castaneous ; the disk of primaries black- 

 ened ; the spots repeated, a little enlarged, yellow.

The Flora of Martha's Vineyard and Vicinity. 



The account here given includes the group of islands forming the 

 extreme southern part of Massachusetts, of which Martha's Vineyard 

 and Nantucket are the chief; and also that portion of the adjoining 

 main land known as Cape Cod. This region possesses some botanical 

 features that are in marked contrast with those of the district immedi" 

 ately north of it.
