No number, female, Chippewa county Oct. 26, 1906, 
private collection of W. B. B. 
I shall be greatly obliged if you will examine these spe¬ 
cimens and indicate which are nearest to togata , if not typical. 
The specimen from Chippewa County seems to me to be more nearly 
like the descriptions of togat a , but I have no material for com¬ 
parison. The specimens from this immediate vicinity, Ingham County, 
are all mounted and so not easily sent, but as far as my experience 
goes they seem to be essentially like the specimen from Ionia L • j. tv ^, 
County, No. 7385. 
Yours very truly, 
Professor of Zoology. 
Bictated.
