 The first five species illustrated, 272, 273, 274, 275, 276, 277, 

 are very much alike, being perhaps seasonal or local sub-species 

 or varieties of the same stock, being similar on upper side, and 

 only minor differences appearing on the under side, and all the fea- 

 tures are in good degree variable, and merge into one another. 

 But I take things as I find them, and will illustrate all the forms 

 according to the distinctions as they are handed down to us by the 

 authors. 



Californica is sometimes called the summer form. I would 

 rather call it the northern form, as it is common in Central Cali- 

 fornia, but does not appear in the southern part of the State at all. 



273. Ccenonympha Galactinus.

Galactinus is the southern local form, abundant in the south, and 



not flying in the north ; a little smaller, and browner on the under 



side, and with fewer eye-spots. 



274. Ccenonympha Eryngi.

This form is still a size smaller than the preceding; somewhat 



yellowish on the upper side, especially on apices and margins, with 



a satiny luster, and yellowish over all the under side, blackish at 



base of hind wings ; more eye-spots. 



275. Ccenonympha Ceres.
