424. — E. pasipha'e, Esp. Not so common as the last species, nor does it last as 

 long in good order. First taken April 21st, 1910, on the lower slopes 

 of the Sierra Carbonera, and my latest record in the season is " San 

 Roque, June 10th " (1911), when I took it in perfect condition.

457. — Lseosopis rohoris, Esp. Apparently rare. One fine specimen in perfect 

 condition, taken at San Roque on June 11th, 1910, and one other at 

 the Cork Woods on July 1st, 1911, where several specimens Avere seen 

 at flowers of bramble. 



4:60.— Thecla spini, Schiif . On the Rock of Gibraltar this species now seems to 

 occur only at the " Mediterranean Stairs," on the east side, where it 

 is not rare, in good condition, from the middle of May to the first 

 week in June. I have not met Avith it elsewhere. 



464. — T. ilicis, Esp., var. sesculi, Hb. Very abundant in the Cork Woods, at 

 Algeciras, and San Roque, during the month of Jime.

 March ; also taken at Tangier, where it does not appear to be so 

 common, on March 23rd, 1912. Not met with on the Rock. 



4&2.—Zephyrus quercus, L. Apparently rare in the district. One specimen 

 taken at the Waterfalls, near Algeciras, on July 16th, 1910. Others 

 were seen flying high around the trees. 



495.— Thestor hallus, P. This strikingly marked little butterfly (the underside 

 showing a curious combination of C. rubi and C. pJdseas) is widely 

 scattered throughout the region, in March and April, but nowhere 

 very common, except near Campamento, where on one occasion I came 

 upon both sexes in abundance at the beginning of May, 1910. Being 

 late in the season, their bad condition saved them from capture for 

 cabinet specimens. 



512. — Chrysophanus phlxas, L. Very abundant throughout the region all the 

 year round, and very variable in size and markings. The var. eleus, F., 

 ocoiirs in the summer.
