NOTES ON SOME HUNGARIAN AND AUSTRIAN 

 BUTTERFLIES IN 1910. 



By W. G. Sheldon, F.E.S. 



A FABiiLY holiday, spent wandering in various countries 

 south-east of these islands, enable me to pen a few notes on 

 certain Diurni observed there. 



We arrived at Budapest on May 10th, and the following day 

 visited Svab-hegy. The day was not very favourable, with but 



Herculesbad and the Cserna Gorge fhom the " Weisses Kreuze " Wood. 



little sun and a good deal of wind, consequently butterflies were 

 not abundant. Pi/rgus orbifer was, however, well out, and in 

 perfect condition, flying with plenty of Hesperia malvce; males 

 of Polyommatus baton were not infrequent, and one example of 

 P. orion var. ornata was observed but not netted. Here and 

 there Papilio podalirius sailed along in its inimitable manner ; 

 Leptosia sinapis was frequent.
