Abstract

The opening of a new highway along the coast from Monterey to San Luis Obispo, California, made it possible to collect in a hitherto rather inaccessible region.

Returning the ensuing year in June and following the highway south about thirty miles below Carmel, he stopped near Big Sur, Monterey County, and there, after rather strenuous collecting on the precipitous seaward slopes of the mountains, he succeeded in taking a small series (eleven males and two females) of these butterflies. These he very kindly sent to me for determination.
