Butterfly.—This common but most interesting insect has been made the subject of most exhaustive and elaborate study by Mr. W. H. Edwards, and the result has been to show that it is highly subject to variation. It illustrates the phenomena of polymor- phism most beautifully. The foregoing references to the plate cite the figures of the typical summer form. In addition to this form the following forms have received names : (a) Winter form lucia, Kirby, Plate XXXI, Fig. i. $ ; Plate XXX, Fig. 20, $, under side. This appears in New England in the early spring from overwintering chrysalids, and is charac- terized by the brown patch on the middle of the hind wing on the under side. (b) Winter form marginata, Edwards, Plate XXXI, Fig. 2, $ ; F'g- 3> 9 ; P'^te XXX, Fig. 19, $, under side. This ap- pears at the same time as the preceding form. The figured in the plate were taken in Man- itoba. This form is characterized by the dark margins of the wings on the under side. (r) ^^'l^ter form violacea, Edwards, Plate XXXI, Fig. '), $. This is the common winter form The 'pots below are distinct, but never fused or m:;l£ed together, as in the two preceding forms. id) Form tngra, Edwards, Plate XXXI, Fig. 4, $ . The wii^gs on the under side are as in viola- cea, but are black above. It is found in West Vir- ginia and occurs also in Colorado. (e) Summe
