1925 ] Some Butterflies from Eastern Massachusetts 295 
Junonia coenia Hiibner. 
Essex: Marshy spot at the base of a dry hillside near Bixby’s 
camps, Apple street, August 29, 1925, one (A. H. C.). Salt 
marsh at the junction of Apple street and the road to Essex 
Centre, August 30, 1925, one seen but not caught. 
When resting this butterfly is very conspicuous but on the 
wing it is difficult to follow and is easily mistaken for a dragon-fly 
or grasshopper. It probably is a not uncommon casual in the 
extensive salt marshes and among the sand dunes of Essex 
county. In July 1898 I found it in numbers at Coffin’s beach 
where apparently it had survived the winter. 
Basilarchia arthemis (Drury). 
Newton ville: Hillside west of Lowell avenue and south of 
Otis street, July 28, 1923, after a strong northerly gale, one 
(H. U. C.). This northern form is strikingly different from the 
usual, though not common, “white admiral” of this region. 
Feniseca tarquinius (Grote). 
Manchester: Tennis courts, Essex County club, July 21, 
1925, one (A. H. C.). Alders along road over outlet of Gravel 
Pond, August 1925, larvae (A. B. J. C.; H. U. C.). 
Essex: Bog off Conomo street, August 30, 1925, one (A. B. 
J. C.). Main road from Manchester to Essex just beyond the 
Manchester line, fifteen larvae, August 28, 1924; adult and eleven 
larvae, September 1, 1925. Conomo road, on alders by a stream, 
August 1925, larvae. 
Newton Centre: Alders near stream east of Walnut street 
near Newtonville, August 1923, a few larvae. 
Newtonville: Woods south of Cabot street, two localities, 
abundant in both in 1923, apparently absent in 1924, a few in 
1925. Hillside west of Lowell avenue and south of Otis street, 
abundant in 1923, absent in 1924 and 1925. 
West Newton: Braeburn Club, near Pond, 1923.
