atypic toward ascensus volidus) . Walker Mountain, 3 $ , 7 $ . Cedar Peak 

 in Warner Mountains, 2 $ , 1 $ . 



California : Mount Shasta, 2 $ , 1 $ . Harkness Peak, 6 $ , 10 $ . Juniper 

 Lake, 1$. Westwood, 2$. 



Beside these specimens other material, undoubtedly represent- 

 ing ascensus, but if referable to the present race atypic in having 

 the dorsal lobes of the penis more slender (much as in saltator) , 

 is before me. 



Washington: Soda Springs in Yakima County, IS (caudal tibiae pink). 



Oregon: Lower northern slopes of Mount Hood, 3$, 1$, (caudal tibiae 

 pink) . 



California: Mount Shasta, 3$, 5$, (caudal tibiae glaucous, rarely 

 pinkish buff in males from this locality). 



The following specimens are also atypic, the dorsal lobes of 

 the penis rotated as normal in ascensus calapooyae. They have 

 the caudal tibiae pink. 



Washington : Satus Pass, 2 $ . Cliffdell, 1 $ . 

 Oregon : Crater Lake, 1 $ . 



In extreme southwestern Oregon and northwestern California 

 intergradation with ascensus validus is shown by the following 

 series. 



Oregon: Kerby, 7$, 1 $ (caudal tibiae glaucous in 6$, pink in 1#, 

 1$). Holland, 1 $ (caudal tibiae glaucous). 



California: Medione Camp ten miles east of Gassquet in Del Norte 

 County, 19 $, 7$ (caudal tibiae pink), 1 juv. $. ~^ 



Typically this race is known from Mount Shasta south through 

 the Sierra Nevada of California to Harkness Peak and West- 

 wood, and in Oregon from Cedar Peak in the Warner Moun- 

 tains and along the eastern base of the Cascade Mountains in 

 the lowlands as far north as Scott. Intergradation with ascensus 

 validus occurs in northwestern California and extreme south- 

 western Oregon and with ascensus calapooyae in the eastern 

 portion of the Calapooya Mountains near where they join the 

 Cascades. Atypical material of ascensus ascensus is recorded 

 above from the Cascade Mountains from Crater Lake, Oregon, 

 north to Soda Springs, Washington.
