THE BNTOMOLOQIS'r, 



Just where the rocad enters the plateau is a rather prominent 

 knoll, around which each day about noon would be found flying 

 one or more Papilio feisthamelii and several P. machaon ; these 

 latter were, however, quite safe from my best efforts. Here also 

 I netted the only Anthocharis belemia var. glauce I saw at 

 Granada, some three or four in number. 



On May 13th I saw several dark Satyrid-looking butterflies 

 on the slopes by the Genii, and after some trouble succeeded in 

 netting one. My surprise was great to find that I had captured 

 a male Hipparchia semele, considering that H. semele is not 

 found until well on in July in such hot places as Corte in 

 Corsica, and that it is found in England at the same date ; it 

 was unexpected to find it in Andalusia two months earlier, and 

 at a height of more than 2000 ft. above sea-level ; one wonders 

 if it manages to get in a second brood there. Almost an equal 

 surprise on May 15th was to net a fine example of Thymelicus 

 lineola. 



I had intended making certain excursions in the Sierra 

 Nevada whilst staying at Granada, but the abnormal heat had 

 so affected the ladies of the party I could not manage to do so, 

 and unfortunately we had for this reason to shorten our stay at 

 Granada and move to cooler quarters on the Bay of Biscay ; 

 accordingly we left Andalusia on the 18th of May. This was a 

 disappointment, because not only are certain local species said 

 to appear at Granada during the last few days of May, but it 

 was most tantalizing to see the slopes of the Sierra Nevada so 

 near and yet not be able to explore them. No doubt very good 

 work could be done in them in June and July, but I understand 

 accommodation of any kind is very difficult to get, and probably 

 for a successful expedition tents and servants would be a 

 necessity.
