248 THE ENTOMOLOGIST. 



early mornings of travel I had gazed from the train window. 

 Ballaigues looked promising in the guide-book. It is about an 

 hour's drive from Vallorbes Station, and situated on the uplands 

 of the Jura, which, well-forested, culminate at this point in Mont 

 Suchet (5236 ft.). But I was not lucky in the two days I could 

 give to collecting, though I fancy at this time of the year the 

 locality is never very productive, again owing to the depredations 

 of the dairy cow. Mont Suchet looms large in the expeditions of 

 the older generation of entomologists. It is but a grass- walk from 

 Ballaigues, and only in the woods under the crest of the hill did I 

 find any butterflies at all. Coejionymplui iphis (one female) was 

 over, but Chrysophanus virgaurae was freshl}' emerged, with Bren- 

 this iiio. Erehia ligea, and, higher up, E. pronoe var. pitho. Lower 

 down, rather worn Polyommatus damon still fluttered among the 

 sainfoin in the meadows, and Pararge egeria var. egerides was 

 not infrequent in the glades near the hotel. On the slopes near 

 the village Parnassius apollo was also in first-rate condition, of 

 the ^conspicuous form which I had met with earlier in the season 

 at Eclepens. I much regretted, however, that I had not crossed 

 to the French frontier, for though Pontarlier itself is not more 

 promising than Vallorbes, I should think the intervening country, 

 and especially in the neighbourhood of Jougne, would be worth 

 investigating. Bruand, who wrote his ' Catalogue of the Doubs ' 

 in ''the forties," makes a brave show of butterflies for the dis- 

 trict ; and apparently it has not changed much, except round 

 the little busy frontier town, which is the gate of France. In- 

 deed there, and northward along the Juras, past Belfort and 

 into the French and German Vosges, there is a fine country, 

 apparently unknown to recent entomologists, who content them- 

 selves year by year with the familiar treasures of " the play- 

 ground of Europe."

OBSERVATIONS ON THE SPECIES OF THE GENUS 

 CALLIMENUS, Fischer de Waldheim (ORTHOPTERA, 

 BRADYPORID^). 



By a. M. Shuguroff (Odessa).* 



Among the orthopterological material collected by A. A. 

 Brauner in June, 1905, in the valley of Manuich, near the 

 village of Veliko-Kniazheski, in the south-eastern corner of the 

 province of the Don Cossacks, I found a new species of the 

 genus Callimenus, Fisch. de W. It is in honour of A. A. Brauner,
