in hundi-eds, generally flying up to about 1 p.m. The ? s are often seen 

 between 12 and 1 p.m. as well as later in the day. These magnificent 

 species are more abundant here, even than at Mclepens, but ab. iole has 

 never been recorded. I'arar;ie achinc : This species is locally abundant 

 in the Moos Wald. Hipparchia arethiisa is found in numbers at Alt- 

 Breisach from the second week in August, ab. nbwleta occurring 

 occasionally, though intermediate forms are very common. ( oenonynipha 

 hero : This species usually appears between May 25th and 30th in the 

 Moos Wald, and, though very local, is much commoner than it is 

 supposed to be, for, by beating about in the undergrowth in the 

 neighbourhood of its haunts, one finds it in much greater numbers 

 than in the clearings. A curious fact about this butterfly is the short 

 time its season lasts. In 1906 the first specimen seen was on May 

 29th, and on June 8th, when the spot was visited by Mr. Lowe and 

 myself, it was very worn and practically over. This is perhaps an 

 exceptionally short time, but I have never seen it later than June 12th. 

 Erebia st;/i/ne: Common at Hinterzarten though local. On July 14th, 

 1905, I took a c? in which the white wedge on the underside of the 

 right hindwing is showing through on the upperside.
