On page 224 of Canadian Entomologist, Volume XXVI., Mr. Herman Strecker has some remarks on Chionobas, in which I am glad to say, he supports my views, except in two points. First, with regard to the subhyalina of Curits, I cannot coceive on what grounds he supposes that the description of subhyalina refers to Erebia fasciata , and as W. H. Edwards's suggestion that the example from Guenée's collection sent to me by Oberthur as the type of subhyalina is not really so, rests on no evidence whatever; I still maintain that subhyalina is the proper name for the insect hitherto called crambis , Freyer, found, as far as we know at present, from Newfoundland along the Labrador coast to Hudson's Straits and other parts of Eastern Arctic America.
