PARTIAL LIST OF INSECTS COLLECTED IN 1885, BY DR. ROBERT BELL, IN CONNECTION WITH THE HUDSON’S BAY EXPEDITION.

LEPIDOPTERA, DETERMINED BY H. H. LYMAN.

Papilio Brevicauda, Saunders. 1♀. St. John’s, N.F. This specimen is interesting from the absence of fulvous from the upper side.

Papilio Turnus, Linn. 1♂. Taken at Topsail, N.F.

Pieris Napi, Esp. Arctic form, Bryoniæ, Ochs. ♀, Summer form, Acadica, Edw. ♀. Taken at St. John’s, N.F. The former is the spring form, and the latter the summer one. The two broods overlap, and specimens of both are thus taken flying together.

Pyrameis Atalanta, Linn. One specimen. St. John’s, N.F.

Colias Pelidne, Boisd. Var. Orange ♂. Taken at Hyla on E. side of Hudson’s Bay, 30 miles south of Cape Wolstenholme. This is the most interesting specimen in the collection, only one other Orange ♂ having previously been reported, as described Mr. Moschler in Wien. Ent. Mar. IV, p. 354 (1860).
