274 THE ENTOMOLOGIST. 



hippothoe in the meadows; Collas hyale, frequent; C. edma, one 

 female observed ; Aporia cratcegi ; and Brenthis euphrosiine. 



Perhaps the best collecting-ground I found at Semmering 

 was the cross valley leading out of the railway valley to the left, 

 about a mile from Semmering, and known as the Durr Graben, 

 or deer valley. The sides of this valley were clothed with woods 

 of spruce and pine, and down the centre ran a small stream and 

 a cart-road ; alongside this, at intervals, were small clearings, 

 and in these I found practically all the butterflies I cared to 

 take. Prominent amongst them were Pararge Jiiera, which was 

 not uncommon flitting by the side of the road ; the specimens 

 were in good condition, and I captured a good series of both 

 sexes, and obtained ova, from which I have now larvae feeding. 

 With these occurred here and there C. palcemon, flying briskly 

 about in the clearings, or drinking at the damp spots in the 

 road. A rather fine form of Pieris napi var. hryonice was not 

 infrequent, and from ova deposited by captured females I have 

 now some three dozen pupae. P. egevia var. egerides was abun- 

 dant amongst the woods, and in good condition. 



On June 18th I discovered a swamp on the east side of the 

 Myrten Graben that contained a colony of Coenonympha typhon, 

 and also one of Anthocera hippocrepidis ; in some of the ex- 

 amples of this latter species the sixth spot is well developed, in 

 others it is barely indicated. Mclitcea athalia, a form with the 

 dark markings all very pronounced, became common generally ; 

 and amongst other species observed were Papilio j^odalirius, 

 P. macJiaon, Leptosia sinapis, and Nomiades semiargus — none of 

 them abundant. P. mnemosyne was plentiful at about 4000 ft., 

 but did not apparently descend below this altitude.

REPORT ON A COLLECTION OF CULICID^ FROM 

 COCHIN CHINA. 



By H. F. Cartee. 



This collection, sent to Mr. F. V. Theobald by Dr. Broquet 

 of the Pasteur Institute, Saigon, was found to contain a good 

 variety of species, including a new one belonging to the genus 

 Stegomyia. It would appear that the subfamily Anophelinae is 

 well represented, especially the genera Myzomyia and Myzo- 

 rhynchus; and, huther, that Mansoniauniformis is comparatively 

 abundant. 



Species found in the Collection. 



Myzomyia rossii, Giles (1899), Journ. Trop. Med. (Oct. 1899). 



Localities. — Five females. South Annam ; five females, 

 two males, Bien-hoa ; one female, Giadink ; one female, Ha-tien.
