an almost, round ball joined to an irregularly shaped sac. It is this 

 structure and the absence of largely one side of the male genitalia, 

 rii., the clavns. valva, etc., that evidently led Mr. Burrows to believe 

 that this was a gynandromorphous specimen, and I incline to the 

 same belief. In the upper sac there are apparently the rudimentary 

 valves of the ovipositor. I have usually found these inside the bodies 

 of gynandromorphous specimens I have previously examined, and 

 attached to this is an aperture that might be the genital opening with 

 its tube leading to the bursa, but this part is too obscui-e for me to 

 rlecide. If these are not the female organs the question arises what 

 are they '? as one half of the male organs are accounted for and they 

 are certainly not the other half. 



Notes on the Lepidoptera in and around Gibraltar, 191 1 and 1912. 



Uy Lieut. G. C. WOODWARD, K.N. 



On October 15th, 1911, I went over to Cauipomento, a place in 

 Spain about three miles from the gates of Gibraltar. There I found 

 ('nliaa edusa in good condition and very common, and Pijraiiu'iR cardiii 

 was very common, indeed was seen everywhere, but rather worn. 1 

 took two specimens of Pieris daplidice in good condition, but did not 

 meet with any more. Aricia luedoit (astrarrhe) was common, but 

 badly worn, and one very large specimen of Lamijides hoetirim was 

 captured. Two very line examples of Hi(uru-ia phlaeas var. idvKs were 

 netted, as well as two rather worn Hesperia proto. On visiting this 

 locality a week later I found very little insect life about, probably 

 owing to the weather having become much colder, succeeding a sum- 

 mer which had been exceptionally hot with hardly any rain. 



Two specimens of Stenhu sarraria were taken settled on the ship's 

 awning, no doubt attracted by the light, and on December Uth a 

 specimen of Hippation ceU'viu was also found at rest on the awning. 



The little moth hJnconista {Selidospina) iiniculnraria is extremely 

 common at Campomento, where it can be beaten in numbers from the 

 undergrowth. On February 22nd I again went to this locality and 

 took several Aiithoc/uii is helcinia, of which both males and females 

 were common, but seemed to be getting a little worn. One specimen 

 of ('alias I'diisa was taken, a very small and very dark example, with 

 the hindwings almost black. In some cultivated ground I noticed 

 I'l/ianifiis cardui, I', atolanta, and r^nran/e aeijefia, typical forms, but 

 it seemed a little early for this last species as yet. 



On March 1st, on the ilock of Gibraltar, I saw several male (iniic/i- 

 ti-ri/.v (dcd/iatra flying very sluggishly. I did not have any net with \ui' 

 but managed to catch one in my hat. Unfortunately I lost it in the 

 attempt to box it. Thais riit)ii)ia, Pieris hrassicae, Paraii/c iiierfai'ia, 

 < 'nlias I'diisa, Pijraiueis cardid, P. atalanta, and Pieris napi were all 

 'common, as well as Sesia stellatarum, which last species appears to be 

 common here all the year round. 



On March 21st, on another visit to the Rock, I took three examples 

 of Gom'iitenpr cleopatru, two males and one female and several hUtchlor 

 I'lipheiioides, all males. At the same time I observed Pijranieis cardui, 

 l^ararije acijeria, P. Dietjaera, Pijratneis atalanta, Pieris brassirae, P. napi 

 and Thais riimina. 



On March 22nd i caught the b.lO boat to Algeciras and went by
