with the one figured ; it is likewise a male, and was captured in 

 the New Forest in July, 1901. 



Commander J. J. Walker has kindly informed me that a very 

 similar variety of A. aglaia exists in the "Dale Collection," 

 now in the Oxford University Museum, which he described in 

 the Entom. Mon. Mag. vol. xviii. p. 101. The specimen is 

 labelled " Dover, Leplaistrier," and referred to by the Eev. W. 

 T. Bree in Loudon's Mag. Nat. History, 1832, p. 334. It is 

 stated to have been taken in a remarkably wet season. 



A similar variety of A. euphrosyne is figured in Mosley's 

 * Illustrations of Varieties of British Lepidoptera,' pt. 5, pi. 3, 

 fig. 1 ; the specimen, it is stated, was captured at Barnwell Wold 

 by T. H. Briggs, and passed into the collection of Mr. Howard 

 Vaughan. 



It would be of great interest if other entomologists would 

 record the existence of any similar albino varieties they may 

 know of, with a view to ascertain what species are liable to the 

 same form of variation. 



BUTTERFLY-HUNTING IN THE BALKANS.

Cettijne, the tiny capital of the land of the Black Mountain, 

 is situated at the end of one of the comparatively fertile little 

 plains which the traveller finds here and there in the desolate 

 limestone mountains which are such a characteristic feature in 

 the scenery of this part of the Balkan peninsula. This bare and 

 treeless region, almost devoid of vegetation, is known as the 

 Karst, and the sight of it does not inspire the butterfly-hunter 

 with anticipations of a very profitable expedition ; but for all 

 that I found it most interesting ground. There is practically 

 only one hotel in Cettijne, " The Grand," a not very ambitious 

 or palatial place, but it is clean and comfortable, and the charges 

 are quite moderate. I spent a few very happy days there, and 

 my experiences, both of the country and the people, were of the 

 pleasantest. It was a long day's ride from Ragusa to Cettijne, 

 first by steamer to the Dalmatian town of Cattaro, on the 

 beautiful land-locked Bocche of the same name, and thence by 

 automobile up the wonderful road which climbs the far-famed 

 Black Mountain and connects Cettijne with the outer world. 

 When I awoke on the morning after my arrival the country was 

 bathed in sunshine, and I lost no time in setting out to explore
