which last the blue flush is much less than usual in examples here, and the two are 
scarcely if at all distinguishable from each other. Therefore I cannot say that 
all these Milford examples are not Proserpina; and indeed I do not know where 
Proserpina ends and Ursula begins, though a typical example of each is distinct 
enough. Mr. Scudder, in the report before cited, speaking of Ursula {Astyanax), 
says: “It is tolerably abundant in the southern parts of New England and 
occurs about as far north as the annual isotherm of 45°, the northernmost points 
recorded being Dublin and Milford, N. H.” 
Arthemis must rarely cross the southern line of New Hampshire, or of Ver¬ 
mont except at the Hoosac Mountains, which are a continuation of the Green 
Mountains. Dr. Harris states that it is rare in Massachusetts; and Prof. H. W. 
Parker, of Amherst, writes that he has never seen it in his district, or on Mounts 
1 om and Holyoke, or on the hills about Chester. 
Mr. Anson Allen, of Orono, central Maine, says, « Arthemis is common here, 
but I have never known of Proserpina being taken. Ursula is not found 
here. 
Mr. II. H Lyman, Can. Ent., VI., p. 38, speaks of Ursula (. Ephestion ) as hav¬ 
ing been taken at Portland, Me. ; but I learn from him that he is now satisfied 
tuat tlie butterflies were Proserpina . 
To the eastward, Proserpina is recorded by Rev. C. J. S. Betbune, Can. Ent.. 
D., p. o 0 , as having been taken in Nova Scotia. 
Mr. Robert Bunker, of Rochester, N. Y., says that Proserpina has not been 
aken in that part of the State, so far as he knows, but that Arthemis is taken 
about Rochester every summer. Also that Ursula is not common. 
At Albany, N. Y., which is nearly in the latitude of the southern line of Ver¬ 
mont and Lew Hampshire, and is half a degree north of the Catskills, and not 
moit rnn thirty miles from them, Arthemis is usually rare, but in some sea¬ 
sons has appeared in considerable numbers, according to Mr. Lintner He has 
sent me two males of undoubted Proserpina, with traces of the band on both sur- 
aces and another like these, but with no trace. As these graded from Proser -

Mr. Robert M. Grey, residing at Kenwood, near Albany, writes that he has 
taken examples of Proserpina three miles below Albany in company with Ur-
