Notes on Colias Edusa. Since in the 
“ Manual ” no mention is made of 
the fact that this butterfly frequently 
survives the winter, two dates on 
which I have met with it may, as 
proving that circumstance, be not 
without interest ; viz. — Jan. 1st. and 
June 23rd. 
I consider that its occurrence in 
mid- winter, and subsequently in the 
early part of the summer, — then very 
much worn, — is conclusive evidence 
that this species hybernates. On 
another occasion I took a last year’s 
specimen on the same day as fresh 
ones. Having met with this species 
almost every season for some years, 
in different localities, I find the aver- 
age time at which the perfect insect 
begins to leave the pupa is August 
20th. — W. A. Lewxb, Narrow, N. IF. 
Query answered . — I fancy from the 
remark you make respecting my cap- 
tures in the Entomologist “ is this 
correct?” that some doubt exists in 
your mind as to the accuracy of my 
statement. I do not know to which 
species you refer. Witli regard to 
C. Boreata, I showed some of my cap 
turcs to my friend Mr. T. H Allis of
