NOTES ON THE SWISS RHOPAI.OCERA. VI. 157 



wooded hills, a wall can be seen holding up a broad road (otherwise 

 invisible) which zigzags through the forest. It was then 12.15 p.m. 

 and passing the next corner above the wall I ?oon saw a Linwnitis 

 pojiiiU on the moist road, and got it. Three minutes later I saw, but 

 missed, another. Though I stayed one hour there, no more were seen, 

 probably because tlie sun went in somewhat. That part of the forest 

 was of beech, ash, aspen, oak, poplar, fir, nut, cherry, etc. The 

 specimen I took was very fresh. Saturday 1 went to the Tram gorge 

 below Orange, and I took seven Loireia {C/trijso/ihaniis) awpliiiiaiiian 

 when the sun got up about 10 a.m. By 11 a.m. it began to rain. I 

 saw no bilberries about there in the cow-pastures, so fancy it would not 

 do for ( 'nlias palaejio. The a)iij)/iiila))ias were like those from Caux."

" You will like to hear how I got live I /niw.nitis popiili to-day at 

 Yvonand, seeing only seven or eight. Getting only one at my old place 

 (the branch of the road going up H.W.) I went down to the junction 

 and up the branch going S.E. There were larger forests, but I only 

 got one until about 1 p.m. Returning from the top to a curved part, 

 say 200 yards above the junction, 1 suddenly at one place saw a 

 succession of three $ s within five minutes, and got two. Waiting a 

 little, the very fine one I missed again tried to come up the road, but 

 turned too soon. Some ten minutes later I caught a J , and directly 

 after missed a fifth ; it was then 2 p.m. Two of my J s have bad 

 chips, but all seem quite fresh. It is curious to see so many $ s, and 

 to see them two and three together, and in the same spot. 



I saw a 1 .i)iirnitis Camilla just above the shallow S. curve in the 

 road."

 " Am just back from Eclepens, where A/iatiird /r/x is fully out. 

 I had H houi's in the wood and got four (of H vars.), but missed more. 

 Fjefore this, when on the green lane under the hill, and W. of station 

 (150 yds.) I got eight, yordmannia (Tficrla) acaciir was on elder 

 flowers. Could see no Lijcaota areas. There were many Xordiiiainiid 

 iliris and the "White Admirals" in the wood were a nuisance. Have 

 arranged for attractive mess on bare path of wood opposite the station. 

 I went no further." 



5. A pat in id i. 



"Yverdon, July 1st, 1905. 

 " ]\Iy total catch to-day was 85. Of these eight were abs., three 

 being yellow (ab. ch/tic) and live black. One cli/tie and two or three 

 of the blacks are e8])ecially fine. One black has scarcely a trace of 

 white on upperside. Of the whole most are Apatma iiiH. Only four 

 -or five are damaged. Before to-day I had caught seven at Eclepens. 

 Of these one was ab. cb/tii' and one a black. Thus out of 42 almost 

 one in four is an aberration."
