Extract

Appreciating the value to students in geographical distribution of faunal lists of a given region, with notes thereon, on the interest that such lists have for beginners in the same field in after years, we have concluded to publish here a list of the Diurnal Lepidoptera known to us to have been taken in the vicinity of Philadelphia. A circle drawn around the new City Hall, with a radius of ten miles, is the line of limit to the “vicinity” here treated of.

Page no 130* Since the above was written the authors have been favored with an opportunity at Westville, N. J., of observing Argynnis myrina following this same strange course in ovipositing. During this season also Mr. Aaron has detected A. bellona in the same habit, and he is strongly of the opinion that strange motions frequently observed in A. diana in Tennesse are to be accounted for in the same way, thought at the times of observation they seemed quite unaccountable.
