9. Quenselii, var. turbans.—Probably one of the most interesting surprises we have had since studying these insects, is the fact that the form just mentioned has been taken, and not uncommonly, for some seasons, at several points in Manitoba and the Northwest Territories. The first specimens we examined were collected “at light” at Calgary, by Mr. T. N. Willing. Afterwards Mr. F. H. Wolley-Dod, ofMillarville, Alta., forwarded us a beautiful series of nine specimens for study, and Mr. Norman Criddle, of Aweme, Man., also was good enough to send us four examples. Besides these 13, Mr. Willing forwarded seven specimens. While in Washington, in December, 1902, Dr. Fletcher submitted a series of the months to Dr. Dyar, who compared them with the original description of turbans, afterwards expressing himself as certain that our Northwestern form was this variety of quenselii.
