226 THE ENTOMOl-OGIST S RECORD. 



surface beneath, and one example taken had only a single spot in the 

 apex of the forewing. I took several specimens of an Krehia which at 

 the time I did not identify. They are small and about the size of K. 

 melaiDjnis, one appears to be a small form of incnito from what remnants 

 of markings there are and from the general shape of the wings, com- 

 parable to the form obtainable near Guarda, Lower Engadine, the 

 others appear to be forms of K. epiphion var. nelaunia with an approach 

 to the nhsoleta form of Tutt. 



The absence of sun now became complete and one felt quite chilly 

 when not moving. An abundance of Afilais iirticae larvae were seen on 

 the edge of the marshy ground near the lake, in number quite too 

 numerous for the available quantity of nettles. It is remarkable how 

 often in the Alps one meets with the larvfe of the " tortoisehell " in 

 similar difficulties as to its food. At the moment one recalls to mind 

 a huge colony of the larvre near the foot of the path familiar to all 

 climbers of Mt. Blanc from Chamonix, where it was utterly impossible 

 for all but the most ravenous few to attain the pupal stage, and 

 another going up towards the little Ghedina lakes above Cortina in 

 the Austrian Tyrol, where the larvae were dying in numbers with only 

 an odd chrysalis or two on objects around the devastated nettle-bed.
