of the Rocky Mountains, and extending well up into Canada. The 
butterfly makes its appearance early in Jilly, and in some of the hilly 
and mountainous districts of New Hampshire is a common butterfly

and the preceding butterfly near the Sunapee steamboat landing. It

specimens have been taken at Mount Wachusett, near Princeton, in

species, and in the next season completes its growth, making a chrysalis

species of this genus.
