14 THE entomologist's RECORD. 



early to look for levana I walked to Fully, and from 8.30 to 9.30 a.m. 

 caught 21 orion, besides one baton and a ' small copper.' At times I 

 had two orion in my net at once. I got so many because I paid little 

 attention to the flat meadow, but took up a station by the rock (say 

 ten yards from the path) where they were dying like bees, on the vines 

 and plants. Perhaps one should look for orion at Bovernier in a 

 similar place.''' Crossmg the valley I hunted its S. edge to Martigny, 

 and all under En Chemin, but saw nothing of levana. From the top 



I looked down on La Valette and its so-called lake 



"Have seen no darker vars. of iiiacliaon at Charpigny, but have 

 caught several which approach it, with lighter coloured eyes near tails." 



5. Melitaea deiune, Hb., var. berisalensia, Fav. 



"Clarens, May 28th, 1901. 

 " Have been to-day to Martigny, and in the meadows below (E. of) 

 Plan Cerisier. I got 13 heriaalcnus and a few other flies." 



6. Lycaena areas, Rott., etc. 



"Clarens, June 11th, 1901. 



" Do you remember my speaking to you once of a big marsh about 

 one mile west of Attelens, which I wished to explore? To-day I went 

 there, chiefly to look for flowers near by. I also thought I would look 

 for areas, though as it is said to be found onlt/ in July, I had little idea 

 of seeing it. I got easily down to the marsh through a wood of fine 

 beeches, having followed a road, or track, from near Les Tuilieres (S. 

 Joigny). In the centre of the marshy part (near its few alders) I soon 

 saw two or three undoubted areas — very perfect specimens .... 

 I also saw one hippotho'e .... The sun was not out long. I 

 hope to go to Thusis on Monday, and if I should find asteria near 

 there should I send you some ? Probably they would be abundant." 



7. Localities for Lijeaena areas, Rott., and Lotreia amphidainas, Esp. 



" Clarens, June 12th, 1901. 



"I went by the Baumaroche Funiculaire to Chardonne yesterday, 

 and climbed to La Tuiliere farm. There is a good road from the N.E. 

 or E. corner of Chardonne village — steep at first — up to La Tuiliere. 

 At La Tuiliere I descended about 100 yards and took a rough country 

 road S. and then E. of it, leading straight on through woods and 

 scrub, with endless chances of wild strawberries in the clearings. 

 Beyond Attelens and its Church there was a wood of tall beech. In 

 the grass below I only found one path, and returned the same way. 

 The marshy part of short grass was narrow, and by the few alders in 

 its centre I found areas and the Santiuisorba, on which it feeds .... 



" To-day I took seven areas at En Saumont, say 200 yards beyond 

 the Measured (lugeing) Mile and the Jump. This small spot is 

 below the road, before it reaches a little wood. It is a very limited 

 spot, and I only saw the seven areas I caught. A mile further on, on 

 the road, 1 caught a lovely little Copper, with fine purple lines near 

 the edges of both upper wings, and very yellow below, which I hope 

 may be dorilis var. bleuesi."j-
