Log. Distributed over all the highest Alps of the region, in one 

 form or other, the type (as given above) being the usual form E. of 

 Switz., the form without eye-spots, Glacialis, being more usual in 

 Switz, and to the W., though in many places both occur together; 

 vii. -viii. : Mr. Rowland-Brown remarks that on the Swiss side of the 

 Stelvio he found only Glacialis, on the Austrian side only Alecto, 

 viii. 4/97. Laharpe, as quoted by Frcy, was mistaken in supposing 

 the sp. to be absent from the Vaudois Alps ; c.//., Dent de Morcles, 

 vii. 10 ; Grand Ma-veran, vii. 21 ; Alecto, Glacialis and Pluto {111.). 

 ]\Ir. Norris observes tbat, at Godessart, Alecto and PVuto were 

 attracted by his blk. net, and that he thus took a good series. Mr. 

 Buckmaster took Glacialis on the moraine of the Allaliu Glacier as 

 early as vi. 21/94. In Switz. it does not usually occur in large 

 numbers, but in some localities further E. in the Alps, ejj., the E. 

 side of the Stelvio it is ab. Mr. Rowland-Brown speaks of the E. 

 Stelvio specimens as much larger than the Swiss, but Mr. Fison has 

 taken v. large ones with fine blk. grd. col. on the Piz Languard, viii, 

 5/01. 

 Directions of Yar. (a.) absolute disappearance of mahogany 



suffusion.
