ONTARIO—MONTREAL

it was hard to catch them. It is not at first quite apparent why 
American entomologists, having given this innocent looking fly a 
picturesque Indian name, familiarly speak of it as “ The Mormon ”; 
for the dimorphism of its female is as nothing compared with the 
polymorphism of some Papilios. Plying freely in the sun among 
the butterflies was Euclidia cuspidea, Hiibn., a near relative of our 
E. mi, Clerck. Many bushes were infested with a larva having an 
interrupted pale dorsal line, which I took to be a Clisiocampa. 
Chalk River Station, Ontario East.

A rapid raid from the train yielded booty in the shape of two 
Brenthis bellona, Pabr., a small Fritillary resembling selene, but 
without silver spots beneath. 
The Mountain, Montreal. 
June 16th, 1904. 
A short afternoon in Montreal’s beautiful park was my last 
chance of studying Canadian butterflies in the field. The most 
obvious was Golias chrysotheme, but it was swift of flight and very 
wild, so that it was only at the cost of much exertion that I secured 
a male. A worn Brenthis myrina, Cram., was even more like selene 
than is bellona, since the resemblance extends to the under-side. The 
little bright fulvous Atrytone hobomoh was the commonest butterfly, 
sitting on flowers in the same attitude as our two Common Skippers, 
and with it I took two Euclidia cuspidea. 
When the fine SS. “Bavarian” reached the landing-stage at 
Liverpool I had girdled the top of the world. 
Using round numbers, I was five months in India, three weeks 
in Ceylon, a fortnight in China, a month in Japan, and a fortnight 
in Canada—say eight months in all. During that time, in spite of 
many distractions, I managed to collect 2164 specimens, of which no 
less than 1867 were butterflies of 268 different species.
