27tli the weather was wet or cloudy, and we caught nothing except a 

 very fine Culia.s palaenu and Birnthiif eupltnixjini'. On August 28th we 

 found a good many insects close to the Gorner glacier, but caught 

 nothing fresh except B. pales ab. mipaea $ . On August 29th 

 we travelled to Vevey, and on the following day had, on Mount 

 Pelerin, our last catch. We took two specimens of Satijnis circe ; 

 both were a good deal worn, but we were glad to get them, even in 

 this condition. Arift/nnis latonia was fairly abundant and in particularly 

 tine and fresh condition ; and the same may be said of I'uli/onniiatiis 

 hylas. We saw Colzas t-dusa in the distance, but made no capture. 

 Amongst our captures was a fine specimen of Melitaca didyma var. 

 graeca.

 rartharni, Nisnniades tages, Hesperia thaiuiias, H. sylvaniis, H. comma. 



This list includes some species not previously mentioned, either 

 because of their not having sufficient interest or because we did not 

 keep a record as to where we caught them. Our having caught 

 a hundred species and named varieties in a little more than three 

 weeks in the month of August must, no doubt, be, to a considerable 

 extent, attributed to the exceptional lateness of the season. It 

 may be added that for the most part the walks that we took were 

 such as we should have taken had we not been entomologising. I 

 have been many times to Switzerland, but never before in search of 

 butterflies. Undoubtedly this new interest added considerably to the 

 pleasure of the trip. 



The habits and larva of Graellsia Isabellas, Graells. 



By T. a. chapman, M.D., F.Z.S., F.E.S. 

 One of the most interesting insects with which we met in our 

 excursion in Spain was (jraellsia isabellae. I am under the impression 

 that we were the first English entomologists to see it at home, but in
