Brusio. 



I took a beautiful Euranessa antiopa, L. ; one fresh Rhiyia apini, 

 Schiff. ; several Nordmannia acaciae, Fabr., and N. ilicis, Esp. ; S. 

 orion, P., was decidedly worn, but S. heruiione, L., and .S. cordtila were 

 beautifully fresh; A. adippe, L., var. cleodo.ra, Ochs., and L. alciphron, 

 Rott., var. yordius, Sulzer, were only in fair condition.

By Bernina Pass (high road), and down to Pontresina. On top of 

 pass I took 25 E. yorye, Esp., var. triopes, Spr. ; several E. alecto, Hb., 

 var. ylacialis, Esp., and one type A', yorye, Esp. Lower, on north side, 

 several Melitaea cyntJna, Hb., in fair condition, many B. pales, Schiff., 

 type form, and Melitaea aurinia, Rott., var. merope, Prunner, all in 

 good condition. XL parthenie, Brkh., var. varia, M.D., was very 

 abundant. Ihvnassius delins, Esp., and Latiorina orbituliis, Prunner, 

 were less so. 



M.B. — I also got one L. populi on the 12th and a damaged one on 

 16th. They pass soon, and I saw none after July 16th. My total at 

 Le Prese was five L. populi, including one $ . 1 chased another fine 

 5 but it tlew too high. They differ rather from those north of Alps. 



* I thought M. matiirna type form did not exist in Switzerland. — L.M.F. 



Miss Fison is correct ; the type does not occur in Switzerland, but these south- 

 east specimens are nearer to it than ai'e tne alpine form taken elsewhere. — G. 

 Wheelek.
