In an earlier article on this species (loc. cit.), Scudder's dictum was followed and the mentioned occurrence of this species at Bay Ridge, Long Island, and at New York City were considered as merely tran' sitory. It is evident that such infestations nuiy occur in the Xorth whenever conditions favor the northward flight of the butterfly. These conditions have been mentioned.
