136 THE ENTOMOLOGIST. 
skipper, not unlike our sylvanus, juba, Scud. Autographa ou, 
Guen., was flying about in the day-time just like Gamma at 
home; Xylomiges patalis, Grote, was found on a tree trunk; also 
a pale Geometer, Lithina imitata, Druce; a small Emerald with 
white hind wings, Merochlora fasolaria, Guen., was kicked up ; a 
Geometer something like a dark Lobophora carpinata, Amathia 
Susifasciata, Walker, at rest; a Noctua, great rarity at home, 
Spodoptera exigua, Hb. Of course, Nomophila noctuella, Schiff, 
occurred; Tortrix franciscana, Wals., was common among Coni- 
fers; also Evetria pasadenana, Kearf., Argyroploce zelleriana, 
Fern. ?, Argyresthia franciscella, Busck, and pilatella, Braun. 
I left San Francisco on Thursday, May 14th, by the Pacific 
mail steamship ‘Mongolia.’ The rival Japanese steamer left for 
the same destination at the same hour, and kept us such close 
company that we landsmen were not a little concerned about it. 
She dodged from port to starboard, and crossed our bows. If 
she desired to rile the crew and passengers, particularly the 
crew, she was most successful. Honolulu was reached on May 
19th with our Japanese friend well in front. As our stay ashore 
was limited to a few hours, there was, after a visit to Waikiki 
beach for the surf bathing along a road lined with stately palms, 
and a short turn in the aquarium, very little time to look after 
Lepidoptera. I took Polyommatus beticus, Linn., half a dozen 
specimens, Callicista thius, Hubner, four, and the same number 
of Zinckenia fascialis, Cram., a widely-distributed species. 
Much did I regret leaving so hurriedly the appropriately named 
‘‘Garden of the Pacific.” 
May 81st, reached Yokohama. 
June Ist, at Kamakura. Biston recursaria, Wlk. (superans, 
Butler), on a tree trunk near the Daibutsu. 
June 3rd, to Anjin-zuka and Yokosuka, important Govern- 
ment dockyard. I had some little difficulty in finding Anjin-zuka 
and the grave of Will Adams, the first Englishman that ever 
landed on the shores of Japan. On the return journey I took 
specimens of Neope goschkevitschit, Ménétriés. 
At Nikko, after visiting the various temples and the mausoleum 
of Jeyasu, I went by jinricksha to the mountain lake of Chiazenji, 
and got some very interesting collecting on the way. I had one 
disappointment: Papilio maacki, Ménét., was settled near the 
Sacred Red Bridge, but I failed to get it. Papilio machaon, Linn., 
made various stoppages in its course through a small village. It 
was very wary, and I was getting tired of following it, when it 
settled on the crown of the road in front of an approaching cyclist, 
who ran over it, injuring it to so small an extent that it makes 
quite a presentable specimen. Limenitis sibylla, Linn., Lycena 
egon, Schiff, Ypthima philomela, Johanssen, Argynnis anadyo- 
mene, Felder, Lethe diana, Butler, Heteropterus unicolor, B. & G., 
Ganoris melete, Ménétriés, and rape, Linn., Colias hyale, Linn.
