A LEPIDOPTERISt's summer in central ITALY, 283 



returning to England, as the one place was well within the affected 

 district, and the other had actually been well shaken up; consequently 

 the Monte Oliveto expedition ended my hunting experiences in Italy 

 for this year at any rate, experiences which bad been very interesting, 

 although the actual number of species with which I was not acquainted 

 in Switzerland was but five, viz., Uirsutina dolus, }\)li/(/imia e;/ea, 

 Brenthix Jiecate, Epinepliele ida, and Coenonymplia dorus. 



I append a list of the butterflies taken by me in Italy on this and 

 previous occasions, with their localities and dates. Whenever no year 

 is mentioned, the entries refer to 1909.
