and sunny ,s:arden of the British Consulate at Smyrna on October 18th. 

 Large and well marked Pieris hra:<sicae occurred there with a few P. 

 rapae, En/nnis alceae, one passable $ Hesperia ariiwricanm, one fine 

 and beautifully fresh P. et/ea, Aricia medon {astrarche) (third brood), 

 Pijrameis cardtii, P. atalanta and Raywardia teUcanns. The bad 

 weather and lack of time preventing me from collecting on other days 

 outside the town. Several SVs/V/ atellatarum and P. brassicae came on 

 board our steamer as we lay off Mitylene on October 15th. 



IV. Corrections. — To the additions and corrections to my Con- 

 stantinople list {Ent. Bee, xxiv., no. 1, p. 12), which were published 

 in the tJnt. Ilec, xxv., no. 5, p. 139, I must add the following species 

 of Khopalocera previously unrecorded. T. pnhi.cena var. cansandra, A. 

 adippe and .1/. athalia var. nielnidiciisis. L. avion has been recorded 

 already [Ent. Ilec, xxv., no. 4, p. 118), and I should add /'. meleafjer, 

 were it not that there has been so much building on Prinkipo island 

 that it may have disappeared. Further may I correct a bad mistake 

 of mine which appears on p. 317 of vol. xxiii. of the Knt. Pee. 

 I there speak of Po)itia (St/nchlot) calUdice. This is a slip. /'. chloridice 

 was what I had intended to write. 



Erebia gavarniensis, Warren, and caecilia, Hb. 



By G. T. BETHUNE-BAKER, F.L.S., F.Z.S., F.E.S. 

 Mr. Kowland-Brown's valuable note on Mr. Warren's interesting 

 paper {antea, vol. xxv., p. 291 and 273 respectively), has made me look 

 up my specimens from Gavarnie, all of which were taken in the Val 

 d'Ossue, and my series is,l think, of sufficient interest in confirmation 

 of Mr. Rowland-Brown's remarks to warrant a few further words on 

 the matter. 



Of the type form iiararniensis I have eight males. These are 

 entirely black above and below. Of my dozen females I may have two 

 that would answer Mr. Warren's description, one without eye-spots 

 above (by this I take it he means the usual sub-apical small black spots 

 with no white) and one with. The others differ in some respects, and 

 it may be well to show how the species varies. Seven of these females 

 are entirely black above, five of them having two black dots between 

 veins 4 and 7 (one between 4 and 6 and one between 5 and 6). On the 

 underside one specimen is entirely umber-brown and has the rust- 

 coloured sub-apical patch, referred to by Mr. Warren, without spots in 

 the primaries ; the secondaries have a lemon dash between veins 4 and 

 5, and a trace of a small lemon spot between 6 and 7. Three others 

 are similar to the foregoing, but with the dash in the secondaries en- 

 larged into an ill-defined spot. 



Another specimen is on the underside obscui-ely rusty in the 

 radial area of the primaries, with the dashes between 4 and 5 and 6 

 and 7 enlarged into spots, dirty ochreous in colour, and with a trace 

 of similar coloured interneural dashes between veins 2 and 8 and 3 

 and 4. 



The sixth and seventh specimens have a sub-apical tawny patch 

 on the primaries above, whilst below there is a largish sub-apical dirty 

 ochreous spot in the primaries, the markings of the secondaries being 

 very similar to those of the fifth specimen just described.
