ENTOMOLOGICAL TRAVELS IN NORWAY. 11 



site the yard, which tends to the south, at the foot of Blaahoe. 

 At Fokstuen, however, the moist meadows and the great 

 masses of bare rock are wanting. 



Xow, as regards the Lepidoptera which I collected on 

 the Dovrefjeld, the number of species is considerably less 

 than the number of those wdiich I collected along with 

 Staudinger in Finmark, being only 166. The number of 

 butterflies was only 12, just half as many as we had found 

 in Finmark. Of the species which likewise occur there I 

 met with nine, to which must be added Syrichthus Cen- 

 taurece, which is also indigenous in North America, and 

 the Alpine species JErebia Euryale and Lyccena Pheretes. 

 Only three of the species were purely northern, the others 

 belonging also to the German Fauna. 



Of Zygcenidce I found only one species, Exulans, which 

 likewise occurs in Finmark and on the Alps. Of Sesiidce I 

 found no imago, but observed an empty pupa skin under 

 birch-bark, which probably belonged to CuUciformis. The 

 Sphingidce were wanting. Of the Hepialidae, which in 

 Finmark were unrepresented, two occur on the Dovrefjeld. 



I found nine species of Bombycidce, all of which occur 

 likewise in Germany. Of the 24 species of Kochndce, 12 

 also occur in Finmark, 8 are exclusively polar, including 

 the two new species and Anarta Algida, which had hitherto 

 only been observed in North America; 19 [16?] belong 

 also to the Fauna of Germany and Switzerland, though six 

 of them only occur in the Alpine region. I met with 25 

 Geometridce, 19 of which occurred likewise in Finmark, 

 and only one, Eupithecia Hyperhoreata, is exclusively 

 northern, all the others occurring likewise in Germany. 

 The number of Micro-Lepidoptera captured, 95, is only a 

 little under the number met with in Finmark ; amongst them 

 are four new species, 1 Pyralis, 1 Tortrix, and 2 Tinece-
