Extract

On the 21st of July, Mr. E. Denny, who often accompanies me on my entomological rambles, brought me a cyanide bottle full of butterflies which he had collected for amusement's sake. On looking at it I immediately saw a specimen that was new to me, and was congratulating myself on getting what I thought would be a new addition to the Satyrinae of my collection. My pleasure was increased, on consulting Dr. Holland's “Butterfly Book,” to find it was a Chlorippe celtis, Boisd.-Lec., ♀. or Hackberry butterfly. (Plate XXIII., fig. 4.) A species, he states, as found generally from southern Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana, and Illinois, to the Gulf of Mexico. I immediately called my friend's attention to the specimen, and he remembered the particular place he had found it, because he thought at the time it was something he had not seen in my collection. So ever since we have watched the locality, but have not been successful in obtaining another. It was caught in the Outremont district, just outside the city limits of Montreal.
