NYMPHALIDiE. 
S. H. Scudder has published a “ Synonymic List of the Butterflies of 
North America, North of Mexico, pt. 1 , Nymphales (Bull. Buff. Soc. 
ii. pp. 233-269). It includes 187 species, belonging to all the groups of 
Nymphalidce, as extended by Bates ; and the Lihythceidce are also in- 
cluded as a sub-group. A table of genera is prefixed.

discusses the natural history of A. myrina. Cram., and considers that its 
habits are not (as supposed by Scudder) different from those of other 
butterflies. He also objects to its being placed in the genus Brenthis, 
Hiibn., and to the retention of HubnePs names generally. A. chariclea,
