MY SECOND VISIT TO THE ENGADINE. 11 



larvae of Ornix Pfaffenzelleri. I fortunately found a hw 

 leaves in which the larvae were still feeding, and after my 

 return home I had the pleasure of breeding one imago. 

 Here also I noticed leaves of Epilohium angusti folium, 

 which showed the deserted mines of the larvae of Laverna 

 RaschkielJa. 



August 1st was a glorious day, and we started off for the 

 Roseg Glacier in a berg-wagen : the sensation of a ride in a 

 berg-wagen (es)3ecially on the front seat) is something almost 

 indescribable to those who have not felt it — you feel that if 

 there is any thing in you free to obey the laws of gravity, 

 it will be certainly shaken to the lowermost portion of you ; 

 occasionally a bigger jolt than usual jerks you fairly off your 

 seat : in short, it is almost impossible to resist laughing at 

 the ridiculous position in whicii you seem to be placed, as if 

 you were being specially jerked and jolted for the amuse- 

 ment of the companions of the back seat. When we reached 

 the place beyond which even berg-wagens cannot proceed, we 

 were very glad to turn out and find that the jolting we had 

 undergone had not deprived us of the use of our limbs. We 

 followed the little path by the side of the stream till, as we 

 approached the glacier, we found that our best course lay in 

 the bed of the stream itself. It was a brilliant sunny day, 

 and the extensive range of snowy peaks seen from the foot 

 of the glacier looked glorious. Entomologically the day 

 was not prolific ; of course there was the ubiquitous Gele- 

 chia tripunctella, and a Butalis sunning itself on a flower, 

 but these were the only Tineina I brought back from the 

 Roseg Glacier. 



In the evening on the old Samaden road I met with 

 single specimens of Gelechia instabilella, G. inter albicella 

 and G. pictella.
