296 THE entomologist's record. 



long hill about a mile and a half distant, and through Lilianhof, 

 Lilianthal and Neun Linden. This was a long and tedious walk, and 

 I was rather disappointed with the results. Probably it would pay 

 better to work the Kaiserstuhl either in June or later on in August. 

 The only insects of note which I took were five Lycaena arion in one 

 field, two specimens of Issorio lathonia, and a few S. stellataniw. 



On July 11th I failed to find anything worth noting in the morn- 

 ing on the Schlossberg, except a fine full fed larva of Hippotion celerio. 

 Herr Goitze, of Neustadt, in the Schwarzwald, called on me at mid- 

 day, and we forthwith took the train for Hinterzarten. Here our chief 

 capture was a fine series of Colias palaenn var. europome. About 7 p.m. 

 we had tea at a very comfortable restaurant in the village, and subse- 

 quently we sugared on the " moss" for Heterocera. For some reason 

 or other we found little more than the commonest species. Herr 

 Goitze returned direct to Neustadt the same evening, while I sta^'ed 

 the night at the restaurant, and was out on the " moss " in the morn- 

 ing by about 7.15. Here I spent the whole forenoon, taking fine 

 series of (\ palaeno var. europome, Brentlds pales, B. selene, VacinUna 

 optiUte (large foi-ms), Erebia sti/r/ne, a few females of ChrijsophiDiKs 

 hippotlioe (typical), and both males and females of Diacrisia sanio 

 (rnssula). The " moss " was much dryer on this day, and therefore I 

 did not get wet and cold as on the previous occasion, and could collect 

 in many parts of it without trouble. On reaching Hinterzarten station, 

 about mid-day, who should hail me but the Rev. G. Wheeler, on his 

 way back to England to attend the Conference at Oxford. Although 

 we only had a few moments in which to shake hands, it was long 

 enough for me to note that he looked radiantly happy, which doubtless 

 was the result of a successful " campaign " in Switzerland. I went on 

 to Neustadt, where I spent some hours in examining the very fine col- 

 lection of Lepidoptera from all parts of the world, which Herr Goitze 

 has gathered together, and his kindness in showing it to me was much 

 appreciated. 



I again worked the ground at Hinterzarten on July 13th. C. 

 palaeno var. europmne was still swarming. I took some nice Krebia 

 Ihjea, a few C. hippothn'e (now going over), and many other useful 

 things. In the afternoon of July 24th, a saunter in the near neigh- 

 bourhood of Freiburg produced three Polipjonia c-albmii, but I did not 

 find some larvte of which I had been told. 



Again, on July 15th, I was collectmg in the Mooswald. It 

 was a very hot day, and it was here that I saw my first EnraneKsa 

 antiopa, flying with two Apaturids over a pungent dead hare. I 

 took Apatiira ilia var. ch/tie female and several Araschma levana 

 var. prorm, and Pi/raineis atalanta in fine condition. The Apaturids 

 were now getting over in this place, although still moderately 

 numerous. The same evening I left Freiburg and arrived about 

 10.15 p.m. at the Hotel Hchweizerhof, at Neuhausen. This hotel 

 is in a fine position, overlooking the far-famed Schauft'hausen Falls 

 of the Rhine. These are considered the finest falls in Europe, 

 and are illuminated for the interest of visitors two or three evenings a 

 week during the summer months. The efi'ect of the various coloured 

 electric lights is very beautiful. 



July 16th was spent in the country near Neuhausen, lying north of 

 the Rhine, and my captures included two Apatura iris, a series of
