LIMENITIS I. 
pina in the Heldeberg Mountains, fifteen miles back of Albany, in company with 
Arthemis. An example sent from that locality was Proserpina, slightly banded. 
A fifth male, taken five miles back of Albany, in “ company with Arthemis and 
Ursula ,” as Mr. Grey states, also showed traces of the band. It is evident in all 
these cases that what has passed as Ursula is only distinguished from Proserpina 
by the absence of the band. Both these types in districts inhabited by Arthe¬ 
mis probably come from the same brood of larvae. With the examples sent 
by Mr. Grey was a very interesting one of Disippus, considerably melanized, so 
that there was sufficient approach to the black species to suggest hybridism be¬ 
tween the two. 
Mr. Adolph Conradi, of Bethlehem, Penn., writes: “ Arthemis is common in 
Monroe and Pike counties, northeastern Pennsylvania, in the pine swamps. Pros¬ 
erpina I have never taken myself, but a friend took one in Monroe County last 
summer. This had the white band on primaries entirely wanting, whereas on 
secondaries it was fully developed. I have been a collector of lepidoptera for 
the last eighteen years and have taken Ursula in at least twenty counties of this 
State, but I have never taken one which varies from the ordinary type.” 
Going westward, Dr. R. M. W. Gibbs, of Kalamazoo, Mich., writes that Ar¬ 
themis is not a common species. That Proserpina has been taken in Wexford 
County in the northwest (lat. 44°). 
Prof. A. J. Cook, of Lansing, says that Arthemis is found in the very north 
of the State, but is rare, so much so that no examples of it are in the cabinet 
of the Agricultural College. Proserpina is found in the middle counties, and 
Ursula in the south. 
Mr. Charles E. Worthington, of Chicago, has collected extensively for several 
years in northern Indiana and Illinois, but has not met Arthemis or Proserpina, 
though Ursula is frequently seen. 
Dr. J. P. Hoy, of Racine, Wis., writes that Arthemis was formerly quite com¬ 
mon in his neighborhood, but of late years has become very rare, and that 
Proserpina in certain localities was numerous ; and he sent me a well-marked 
example of the latter form, male. 
Rev. J. D. Hulst collected in Minnesota, near St. Cloud, and at Duluth and 
Sault St. Marie: found Arthemis everywhere, but saw no Proserpina. 
As to the northern limits of Proserpina: Mr. Wm. Brodie, of Toronto, writes 
that his experience is based on acquaintance of thirty years with Arthemis, 
mostly in the central parts of County of York, about thirty miles north of To¬ 
ronto. Arthemis was very abundant, but he never saw a Canadian specimen of 
Proserpina. 
On the other hand, Mr. W. Murray, of Hamilton, Ontario, says: “For the
