ARGYNNIS IDALIA IN NEW BRUNSWICK

Extract

On February 1st I happened to spend a few hours in St. John, N. B., and through the kindness of Mr. Herbert E. Goold, of Sussex, N. B., and Mr. A. Morissey, of St. John, I was enabled to visit the very interesting museum of the Natural History Society of New Brunswick. In looking over the cases of insects I noticed two fine specimens of Argynnis idalirr, which Mr. Goold told me were taken by himself or his father at St. John. I could not remember at the time any record of A. idalia having been taken in New Brunswick, so asked Mr. Goold to enquire from his father if he remembered anything of the capture. He has since written to me: “In re Argynnis idalia—On my return home from St. John I asked my father about the specimens.
