and not common at lake level. PleheiKK arfiyrognonwn { = an/ii!i, auctt.) 

 was abundant in both sexes at the end of July and also a month later, 

 when the species was in poor condition. It was not by any means 

 freshly out in July. It occurred to one of us that Norwegian l.epi- 

 doptera perhaps remain longer on the wing than British ones. The 

 suggestion is only put forward tentatively, but perhaps merits the 

 attention of the wise and prudent. Anyhow, P. arijiii-txinomon reached 

 at least 3,500ft. It was very variable, iDut we are not in a position to 

 discuss the series. Urbicola cojinna, one ^ , fresh, July 25th. In 

 general the Norwegian form is var. catena, a most inconstant form, 

 generally very dark. This particular specimen is paler than any 

 Scandinavian specimen in the British Museum, and really looks quite 

 British. 



Of the moths, Anthrocera exulaiu var. vanadis was worn by 

 July 25th (3,500ft.). This varietal name appears to be designed for 

 the benefit of Scandinavian specimens in worn condition. Plnsia 

 inteiroijationh and A(iroperina lateritia, Hufn., both occurred. The 

 latter occurred at Gaasbu (or Gautsbud) at 3,000ft. also at Lesjevoerk. 

 It was not completely over by August 25th when some came to sugar 

 at Lesje. Acidalia fumata were worn by July 25th, Pi/ifinaena 

 (Eiicaterva) fusca was locally abundant just above tree-line ; on 

 July 25th, etc., the specimens were mostly fresh. The flight is 

 " Geometrid," close to the ground and not very fast. Considering its 

 colour the species is easily seen. Carsia. palndata var. viibiitata was 

 fresh in July. The moth seemed to haunt sallow, though its food- 

 plant is Vaccinium. One sunny morning we watched a $ settle on 

 various blossoms without resting in any special position or attempting 

 to orientate herself. Towards midday she took up a position on a 

 sallow twig, moved her wings up and down a little and finally 

 assumed the regular Deltoid posture with antennfe tucked under 

 the forewing costa. Coreinia munitata was taken at 3,000ft. in worn 

 condition. Entephria (Larentia) caesiata was abundant in the forests, 

 especially in the more open parts. Cidaria triincata ((?s) were 

 common enough and fresh at the end of July (with this contrast (J. 

 ■innnanata on the Sura in mid-August). Cidaria testata (^s) was 

 beginning to emerge at the same time. C. })opidata (<?s) was also 

 abundant. At Lilleharamer, on September 2nd, we took Pieris napi 

 and PJuniidesia albidata. The following Hymenoptera, which the Eev. 

 F. D. Morice has kindly determined, were taken near Lesje : — PJtodn- 

 f/axter puncttdata, Vespa viih/aris, Plalictus calceatns var. albipes, 

 Odi/neri(fi trifasciatna, Boiiibns luconiin, B. junellus, and B. at/rofinii.

Dr. Malcolm Burr has helped us with a few Orthoptera. Tbe 

 most interesting species is Podisma fri(/idtiiii, Boheman, an alpine 

 and arctic flightless species occurring from about 3,000ffc. upwards as 

 fdr as the ground was suitable. Tbe species was abundant in small
