 Podalirius ; it was sitting on a leaf of a cherry tree. 



In due time we reached Stiihlingen and entered Switzer- 

 land, and before the sun had sunk behind the bank of clouds 

 in the west, we were gazing at the Rheinfall from the gardens 

 of the Hotel Weber. 



Here, however, we found no Entomologists, and though 

 but. six hours removed from Zurich, the residence of Professor 

 Frey, we were unable to proceed further ; and the next day, 

 turning our backs on Schaffhausen and the Rheinfall, we 

 hurried home as fast as it was possible to travel, and so ended 

 our travels from " Ghent to Glogau, and Stettin to 

 Schaffhausen, in search of Entomologists."
