Chionobas.—To hear of the occurence of Chionobas Macounii in the hill-prairie district south of Calgary will doubtless be as much of a surprise to most entomologists as the discovery of it here has been to myself. That a man who, like myself, is ever on the outlook for anything fresh in the way of butterflies, should have lived for five years in Macounii locality without knowing it surpasses my comprehension. whilst overhauling, relaxing, and setting last winter from the captures of the past two seasons, I came across, amongst some papered specimens that had been handed to me by a Mr. Hudson, an ardent collector here, a papered butterfly labelled “Chionobas Chryxus, ♀, July 4th 1896,” taken amongst the spruce about twelve miles west of here; that is to say, about 26 miles to the south-west of Calgary. Now, though I have never yet seen Chryxus here, I have always been expecting to come across it amongst the spruce, and was not much surprised. However, after relaxing and setting me specimen, lo and behold! it was not Chryxus, but agreed rather closely with some C. californica♂ ♂ that I have from Ft. Klamoth, Oregon.
