ijariates. I detected a specimen in the Dale collection at Oxford, from 

 Wareham, in Dorset. The ^ of picea difters from that of f/ayates in 

 the shape of the epinotiun and scale. The epinotum of the former when 

 seen in profile, is although slightly rounded, yet distinctly angled, 

 whereas in the latter it is quite rounded. The scales are also very 

 distinct, as will be seen by the accompanying sketches. 



Emery--' remarks that he does not possess a 2 or J" of pirea and 

 from the descriptions there is nothing definite given to separate them 

 from (jaiiatpH. I possess a J picea from Belgium kindly given to me 

 by Bondroit and a ? (jcniatea from Vienna, kindly given to me by Forel, 

 and the scales are very different, much as in the ^ ^ . In t/af/ates it 

 is excavated at the top and shaped like that of the § , in pirea it is 

 rounded. Unfortunately, I do not possess a (J of (/mjates. Emery"" 

 says the scale is not, or scarcely, cut out above. In ))icea 3 it is 

 evidently, but not widely nor deeply, emarginate. From fiisca and the 

 other forms, picea may be known by its more glabrous and shining 

 body.

(Concluded from i^age 36.) 



The only house between Cuenca and Una was reached about noon. 

 Here we were most kindly welcomed, a table and other necessaries 

 being provided for our lunch, which we had brought with us. Nothing 

 but water is to be obtained at this half-way house and not a vestige of 

 anything to eat is to be found en mute, so that it is absolutely essential 

 to carry with one the day's provisions. The charge for shelter and 

 attendance was 25 centimes ; this included the stabling and feeding of 

 the two donkeys. Very few insects were about, and these were very 

 worn. Among them were Melanart/ia lache.sis, C alias edusa, Pontia 

 (laplidire, Aiiriades coriihni var. arra!nmeiisis,Gevh.,a,nd''^at!/riis statilinas, 

 which was the only species in good order. Just before reaching Una, 

 however, we saw a few Erebia zapateri in a gorge. These were quite 

 freshly emerged, and came as a great surprise, as we did not expect to 

 see the species until we reached Bronchales. 



We found Una a dirty little village, most picturesquely placed, 

 however, beside a small lake of the same name, which empties itself 

 into the river Jucar by a fine waterfall, and is justly celebrated for its 

 trout. We rested the night at the house of Seilor Felix Gomez. Our 

 host came in at dusk from the threshing field, received us most 

 hospitably and saw to our comfort, and not until we were well through 

 with our meal did he sit down to his own supper in a corner of the 

 same room surrounded by his family, each dipping a spoon in turn into 

 the pan which was placed in the centre. We had arranged to leave Una 

 at 5 o'clock the next morning, but no one in this land of "manana" has 

 the slightest idea of being hurried, so that it was fully three hours 

 later before we could get away. W^e started as before, riding on the 

 animal that had no baggage, but we had not proceeded far before we
