NOTES RELATIVE TO SOME VARIETIES OF LEPIDOPT ERA. 
HESPERIA POCHAHONTAS, Scudder, I am confident is a Melanotic Female variety 
of H, Hobomok, Harris, During the month of June, for a number of years, I have taken in 
some meadows, a mile or so from Reading, Pa., Hobomok male and female in large numbers; 
also Pochahontas at the same time and place, but in upwards of twenty years collecting, I 
have never yet captured or even seen a male Pochahontas, nor have 1 ever seen Pochahontas 
unless Hobomok was also in the same vicinity. A number of naturalists and collectors assure 
me of the same facts. Even a casual examination of the under surface will show that the 
markings in Hobomok and Pochahontas arc the same in delineation, though not in color. 
VANESSA LINTNERII, Fitch. I have of this variety of V. Antiopa, four examples, 
two of which were taken in the sexual act. 
EUCH/ETES EGLE. If the white Euchsetes Egle is an Albina var. of the slate colored 
one, why is it that where the white one is abundant, the grey one does not occur ? On the line 
of the East Pennsylvania Railroad, near Reading, Pa., the white one can be taken by hun- 
dreds, but I have never met with a grey one in this county, (Berks), while Mr. Edw. Graef, 
of Brooklyn, N. Y., a most careful collector, says that he has taken the grey one in some 
localities in large numbers, but has never seen a white one in the same places.
