Description
Summary:Pepilio Asterias, Fab.—A specimen of this butterfly was seen by me at Natashquaun on the 24th June. On the 4th July I found it common at a place further down the coast, called Musquaro. The same species occurs in Newfoundland. Pieris Frigida, Scudder .—This butterfly is common at Natashquaun, where it appears about the 15th June. I am of opinion that it is doublebrooded, as I noticed fresh specimens on my return to Mingan on the 16th July. It occurs on the whole of the south as well as the eastern coast of Labrador, where Mr. Scudder procured the species.
