11. Synchloe creusa. Of this insect I only took a solitary specimen at Banff, June 2nd. It was probably nearly over, and I saw no more of it. It is taken on the Pacific coast and crosses the Divide at Banff. Mr. Wolley Dod inclines to think that it merges into ausonides at Calgary. I consider my specimen from Banff to be quite distinct.

12. S. ausonides. Widely distributed but nowhere common. I took one or two specimens at Penticton, Greenwood, Kaslo, and Nelson, but never found it plentiful anywhere. It is common at Calgary.

13. S. sara. Common all through the south-western districts of British Columbia. I did not get either of its varieties. It does not occur at Calgary and probably does not cross the Divide.

14. Eurymus (Colias) Meadii var. Elis. Scattered rather sparingly over all the high mountains of the main chain of the Rockies at an elevation of 6,500 to 7,500 feet. I took the greatest number on the steep slopes of a mountain above Hector Lake. It also occurred at Lake Louise, Mt. Assiniboine and mountains above Simpson River.

15. E. eurytheme var Keewaydin. Of this butterfly I only took two specimens at Victoria, June 6th.

16. Var. eriphyle is the commonest Colias all through Western Canada. I took it everywhere, and without any great variation. The beautiful orange type of the species and var Ariadne I did not meet with. I also took two

in the Fraser Canyon in May, and a fine fresh one at Banff August 30th. 17. C. philodice is also very common and widely distributed. I never took it at a high level, but it is the commonest butterfly at Montreal and Ottawa in September. At Ottawa (September) a fine white female variety

was common.

18. E. christina. At Banff only, where it was flying in plenty August 30th, but in very bad order, and the females far worse than the males. It is common at Calgary.

ary.

19. E. alexandra. One specimen only, from Greenwood, near the bound

20. Very plentiful in the valley from Greenwood to Midway. It also occurs through the whole of British Columbia south of Lake Okanagan. The color of the under side is much yellower than in the type (Alexandra), in which the under side is greenish and very pale. Dr. Rebel pronounces the specimens I sent him to be Behri (Edwards), but in this opinion Mr. Elwes does not agree (nor do I).

21. E. interior. I took it only at Kaslo, where it is not very common. Mr. Wolley Dod takes it in some numbers at Calgary, where it flies among the spruce in July, which is just where and when I took it at Kaslo.

22. E. pelidne var. Minismi (Elwes). This a very common butterfly over the whole of the higher Rockies, flying from 5,000 to about 6,000 feet. The females vary considerably, the white ones being commoner than the yellow. It flies all through August. (Dr. Rebel pronounces this insect to be not Pelidne, but Skinneri (Barnes), which he considers to be a good species.)

23. E. nastes. Common at very high levels on every mountain I went up in the whole chain of the Rockies. It varies considerably and I think that those from Mt. Assiniboine, the most southern point at which I found them, are paler and yellower than more northern specimens.

24. Euptoieta Claudia. One specimen only taken at Mt. Assiniboine in August, close to the lake, at 5,000 feet or more. It is a southern butterfly,

but a wanderer. Mr. Wolley Dod has taken two at Calgary, and there is one in the Banff museum.

Mine

25. Argynis cybele. Common all through the Atlantic States. were taken at Ottawa, in September. Mr. Wolley Dod gets it at Calgary, but not commonly.

26. A. atlantis. Very common and widely distributed all through British Columbia. I took it at Kaslo, Greenwood and in the high Rockies below tree level. Atlantis is very like Electa, which Mr. Wolley Dod takes, though not commonly. I have no specimens of Atlantis from Calgary.

27. A. monticola. Widely distributed and common. I took it at every place I visited from the third week in June till the end of August. The high mountain specimens differ little from those at lower levels. It is a variable species as to color and the silvering of the spots of the under side, but the markings are the same in all that I have taken.

28. Var. purpurascens, which I took only near Greenwood and Nelson at low levels. It is given by Holland as a variety of Zerene. Dyar gives it as a variety of Monticola, with which its markings exactly coincide. I do not possess Zerene.

29. A. coronis. I never took this species at all on the western side of the Divide, but I believe that I got a battered individual at Banff, August 30th. Those I have were all taken by Mr. Wolley Dod near Calgary, where it is not uncommon. Very like Halcyone.

30. A. nevadensis. Widely distributed through the Rocky Mountains, but I never saw it common except at Banff, where there were many, much worn, August 30th. It ranges as high as tree level, but I never took it west of the Divide. Common at Calgary.

31. A. nevadensis var. Meadii. One, June 18th, in the Upper Keremeos, and one, much battered, at Mt. Assiniboine, August.

32. A. eurynome. Widely distributed, nowhere common. I took a fine dark form in the Selkirks at about 8,000 feet. I also took a paler form at Kaslo.

33. A. eurynome var. Clio. Also widely distributed and not common. My high mountain specimens are all much paler than the Kaslo insects.

34. Brenthis myrina is the amphirape of the Eastern Hemisphere. I found it in swarms at Mt. Assiniboine in August, flying over the marshy ground near the lake, which was formerly the basin of a great glacier. I also took it by Lake Louise in July. Mr. Wolley Dod takes it commonly at Calgary.

35. Brenthis chariclea. Very common everywhere in the Rockies among brushwood. Common at Calgary.

36. Brenthis chariclea var. Boisduvalii, is apparently undistinguishable from Chariclea, though Holland gives it as a separate species.

37. B. chariclea var. obscurata. I have so called a remarkably dark female taken near Lake Assiniboine, very high up.

38. Brenthis freija. Common in May at Calgary and Banff. Also took it in mountain bogs near Lake Okanagan in June at 5,000 feet or more.

39. B. frigga. Common in bogs at Banff and Calgary, also took it near Lake Okanagan in mountain bogs.

40. B. bellona. Common at Calgary, Ottawa, and generally west of the Divide.

41. B. epithore. The Pacific form of Bellona. Common and generally distributed. Flies at high elevations.

42. Brenthis alberta. Nowhere in great numbers, but widely distributed over the higher peaks of the Rockies end of July and August. All the peaks. round Lake Louise and Lake O'Hara, Hector, Mt. Assiniboine, and head of Yoho valley, produced a few specimens (not always captured). I never saw it below 7,500 feet.

43. Brenthis astarte is another very common butterfly, if you seek it on the highest points not entirely snow-covered. It is very hard to catch, but very unmistakable to the eye. It has an even wider range than Alberta, for I saw it, without securing one, at Glacier Crest in the Selkirks. The males. haunt the summits, the females are to be found on the highest grassy slopes, and are not very hard to stalk, when feasting on a flower.

44. Lemonias (Melitaa) chalcedon. I took this fine insect only at Greenwood and in the district south-west of Lake Okanagan.

45. L. anicia. The commonest of the family. I took it at nearly every place I visited. Penticton, Kaslo, Lake Louise and the Selkirks all produced it in plenty; but Mr. Wolley Dod finds it rare at Calgary.

46. L. anicia var. Beani. A small and dusky high mountain form of Anicia, not uncommon on the highest grass slopes about Lake Louise, Hector and Lake O'Hara. I never saw it under 7,000 feet.

47. Lemonias nubigena. Two specimens only, from Revelstoke, a very hot place, 1,400 feet.

48. L. rubicunda. Another Californian insect, which extends into the Rockies as far north as Hector and Lake Louise. I never took it commonly. It may be so around Lake Okanagan in July.

49. L. palla. Common about Lake Okanagan, Greenwood and Kaslo in June. I never took it in the Rockies, but Mr. Wolley Dod gave me a specimen from Red Deer, 100 miles north of Calgary. There the winter is remarkably mild.

50. Phyciodes tharos. Very common at Nelson, Kaslo and Calgary. Did not find it in the mountains.

51. Phyciodes pratensis. Universally common. A small mountain form occurs at Hector, at 5,000 feet.

52. Phyciodes pratensis var. Orseis. Probably the south-western form of type.

Ranked as a species by Holland. I took mine on the Pacific coast. 53. Phyciodes camillus. Common at Greenwood and Penticton in June, and I took one at Hector, at 5,500 feet, in July.

54. Psyciodes mylitta. In the Okanagan country in June. I took none in the mountains or further eastwards.

55. Polygonia satyrus. At Victoria in June, and at Calgary in May, all hibernated specimens.

56. Polygonia faunus. At Victoria only in June. Mr. Wolley Dod reports it from Calgary and Banff, but not commonly.

57. P. zephyrus. At Field, common in August, and at Banff.

58. P. gracilis. At Ottawa and Montreal only. It does not appear to occur in British Columbia.

59. Polygonia oreas var. silenus. Two specimens at Banff, August 30.

60. P. progne. One at Calgary, 31st May, one at Ottawa in May, and several at Ottawa in September.

61. Eugonia californica. Two fine fresh specimens at Bonnington Falls, near Nelson, end of June.

62. Euvanessa antiopa. Just appearing at Banff in August. It is common all through Canada and I took worn specimens in June in the Upper Keremeos.

63. Aglais milberti. Very common all along the Pacific side of the Selkirks, and I took it high up, 8,000 feet, above Glacier. I never saw it in the Rockies, but it is common at Calgary.

64. Vanessa atalanta. One specimen only, in July, above Kaslo. I saw one other at the same place; no others. It is very rare at Calgary.

65. Basilarchia archippus. One specimen only at Penticton, near the river. I saw one other at the same place. It is an occasional visitor at Cal

gary.

66. B. Lorquinii. Very common all through the western slopes of the Divide and flies at Glacier. Not seen by me in the Rockies and not found at Calgary.

67. Cercyonis charon. Common at Penticton, Nelson, and Banff, at low levels throughout the summer.

68. Erebia discoidalis. Very common at Calgary and Banff in May at moderate elevations. I never saw it west of the Divide.

69. Erebia Vidleri. Plentiful in the open woodlands of the upper Keremeos, in mid-June at an elevation of from 3,000 to 4,000 feet. Only males had then appeared. I did not take it on similar ground at Nelson and Greenwood a week later.

70. Erebia epipsodea. The commonest Erebia from Penticton to Calgary and flies as low as 2,500 feet.

71. Canonympha ampelos, or ochracea, or inornata. Very common. everywhere at moderate elevations from Victoria to Calgary. Mr. Wolley Dod cannot separate the species.

72. Cœnonympha elko. One specimen only, near Lake O'Hara, in August. Evidently a wanderer.

73. Eneis Macounii. Taken by Mr. Wolley Dod near Calgary. He took this rare butterfly in some numbers in June last, on the summits of grassy hills, about 4,000 feet.

74. Eneis chryxus. Very common everywhere from the warm slopes of Okanagan and Nelson right up to the high glens of the Rockies, even above tree level. It varies little. Mr. Wolley Dod has never taken it at Calgary, but it flies at Banff.

75. Eneis varuna. At Calgary only, where it is common in May and June. I never saw it at Banff, or in the Rockies.

76. Eneis jutta. Not uncommon in mountain marshes. I took mine at Lake Louise in July. It is common at Calgary.

77. Eneis norna var. Beanii. This active butterfly is common on all the high rocky summits of the Rockies. It haunts lichen-covered rocks, which it exactly resembles in color. I never found the female lower down, as was the case with the Astarte female.

78. Uranotes melinus. At Kaslo and at Bonnington Falls in June. 79. Thecla sæpium. At Bonnington Falls, just out, third week of June. I was too late for it at Kaslo.

80. Thecla spinetorum. One much worn female, upper Keremeos, June

81. Thecla acadica. One at Kaslo, where it is common. for it.

I was too late

82. Callicista eryphon. Banff, in May, high up among pines. 83. Callophrys dumetorum. Several wretched specimens at about 5,000 feet in June, above upper Keremeos. Probably common earlier.

84. Chrysophanus thoe. At Ottawa along the railway banks in September, rather common, but worn. It also occurs at Calgary.

85. Epidemia mariposa. Very common everywhere in the Rockies, and flies up to 6,000 feet.

86. Epidemia zeroe. Not uncommon in the south Okanagan country, and at Greenwood. I never found it in high mountains.

87. Epidemia helloides. Very common everywhere in the west at low elevations.

88. Heodes hypophleas. Not common. I took several at Ottawa. Mr. Wolley Dod takes it sometimes near Calgary.

89. Chalceria Snowi. The most beautiful of the coppers. A high mountaineer, never seen below 7,000 feet. Widely distributed over the high Rockies, but seldom plentiful.

90. Cupido heteronea. At Greenwood and in the lower Keremeos in June. I met with it nowhere else.

91. Cupido fulla. I have this butterfly from Calgary only, where Mr. Wolley Dod takes it commonly. Mr. Elwes considers it to be identical with pheres, which it closely resembles.

92. Cupido sæpiolus. Very common everywhere and flies up to 6,000 feet at Hector. Very common at Calgary. Dr. Rebel calls it L. antiacis.

93. Cupido pheres. Common in the south-west of British Columbia, Penticton, Greenwood and Vancouver. Not taken at Calgary. It is very near to C. fulla. Dr. Rebel calls my specimens L. lycea (Edw.).

94. Nomiades Couperi. Very common on both sides of the Divide, but not high up. Very like Antiacis.

95. Phædrotes sagittigera. Not common. I only took three at Greenwood and upper Keremeos. It is taken occasionally at Calgary and Kasló. A high mountaineer, locally abundant at Lake O'Hara.

96. Agriades aquilo. Louise, Hector and Lake 97. Agriades rustica.

Very common at Calgary. I never took it at all. 98. Agriades podarce. One specimen only, taken July 5th, on Bear Mountain, behind Kaslo, which is a locality for Podarce. I was too early to get a series and have no female, which is said to be distinct. The male is exactly like Aquilo.
