out four $ s and two J s at Charpigny that evening. '■ I will write you 

 when Apatnra j'r/s appears. I got a Sati/nis circe at Eclepens, but it 

 was lame in one wing. The roads here, too, are far too dry to attract 

 Liinenitis jiojndi. I should think the collector who got six must have 

 done so after the last wet."

"Have got my third ab. tn'uudar to-day, and that a ? with three- 

 red-brown bands over its big body. Ten yards from it I got a fine 

 Liiiii'nitis pn/ndi 9 , but saw no more at all. The three J s I have 

 seem to me tending towards ab. tn'iinilae a little. May this be more 

 common this year! 'White Admirals' were rather abundant in the 

 ]>avois Wood, but no Ajiatnra iris."

" Iheiithix thnjT is taken at Faido on the cooler south or west side of 

 the river, in the small forest glades or openings. Crossing the bridge,, 

 one goes up south above the first pastures for twelve to fifteen minutes 

 at least. The best place was a larger clearing ((hnre and on the forest 

 road. The clearing had a little "source'' at the lower entrance to it, 

 and at a second higher entrance is a half-hidden old limekiln hole, as- 

 1 take it. I got two or three ISrent/ti.s tltore also higher up, where a 

 horizontal path goes along to the grass land. In most clearings I 

 found none, but took one in the wood a good deal higher. None were 

 seen in the woods north of the bridge, but they might still be there in 

 cool but perhaps not too damp places. The i'anuissins apollo I got u[> 

 a gully on a common-like bit south-east of the village. Also below 

 Lavorgo station where the old, disused road crosses the first bridge 

 below it. The old road was excellent, especially near the big cascade. 

 Beyond too, the half or three-quarter-mile-long path to the next rail- 

 station was good, but hard to get along on account of brambles. I got 

 5i2 Apatnra abs. at HI, four or five with only forewings black. Nine 

 were Apatnra ilia ab. rlj/tic." 



1907.

"Bex, June 20th, 1907. 

 "To-day I took at Charpigny, in one stroke of the net, two fine 

 I .inicnitis po/>itli ab. trcninlaf. They were fresh, but a little chipped. 

 Another was on the same fir trees (north of La Tete) from which the 

 two came down, l)ut would not be tenijited to the ground even by some 

 bait. On J\Ionday at Villars (about 1 p.m.) I took five fresh Loireia 

 {( Itri/sop/ianKx) anipliidanias. Have done little else lately, as am kept at 

 Charpigny by the disease amongst our fir trees, which will, I fear, 

 cause the destruction of all of them."
