Notes on butterflies observed in the Valais in 1878. — During the early part of 

 last summer, in company with my friend, Mr. P. L. Sclater, F.E..S., and party, I spent 

 about three weeks in the Valais of Switzerland, and, during that time, we devoted a 

 considerable part of our energies to butterfly-catching. As the two valleys where we 

 spent the greater part of our time are rather out of the beaten track of tourists, and 

 have possibly not been visited by English entomologists before, I think a few notes 

 on our captures may be worth inserting in this Magazine. The valleys visited, the 

 Vals d' Kerens and d'Anniviers, are two of the lateral valleys which run from the 

 main chain of the Pennine Alps into the Rhone Yalley, debouching into it between 

 the better known valleys of Chamounix and Yisp. 



In the Val d'Herens, we made Evolena (about 4,500 ft. above the sea) our head 

 quarters, staying there a week, and making excursions thence higher up the valley, 

 including a two days' stay at AroUa, at the head of the valley of the same name, 

 a most lovely spot (about 6,500 ft.), close to the Glacier d'Arolla, and overshadowed 

 by many magnificent snowy peaks, such as Mont Collon, the Dent d'Herens, and
