Extract

The Swallow-tai1 Butterflies which occur on the Islands of Anticosti and Newfoundland, and on the north coast of the Gulf of St. Lawrence are at present a subject of dispute, both as to species and position among the Papilionidæ. Having some knowledge of their localities and geographical range, I venture to state my opinion on the matter.
