saw in better condition. Here also a few Hrebia ligea and an 
occasional Hugonia polychloros. Besides these, Neptis lucilla 
was very common and in perfect condition, especially in the 
neighbourhood of the spring or ‘‘ quelle’ at the upper end of the 
ravine, and so also was Melitea maturna, some of the latter 
being very brightly variegated, sometimes sitting together, a 
dozen or more, with closed wings, from amongst which number 
a few could be selected easily and bottled. A little beyond 
here a large male of Chrysophanus virgauree was netted, the 
only one seen. In the afternoon on the way down, below the 
Kreuz, though not expected for a fortnight later, Pararge roxe- 
lana was frequently disturbed, and fairly easily taken, when 
resting on the bark of trees. 
The following morning I ascended the Suskului, the top of 
which is reached about two hours from the spring. The path at 
first rather monotonous, penetrates upwards through the forest, 
where Pararge hiera occasionally only was noted. After about 
an hour there is a break and an outcrop of rock, insects become 
more plentiful, and on a rough grassy slope near the summit 
Erebia medusa var. psodea was taken in fair condition, Parnassius 
mnemosyne, large and well marked, was exceedingly common, 
and here also I was fortunate in securing two specimens of 
Cenonympha leander, which species, though stated to occur in 
South-east Hungary, I have not noticed recorded from any 
particular locality. While here the sun was obscured by passing 
clouds for several minutes at a time, otherwise I am sure a great 
deal more could have been done at this particular spot. One 
example of what I believe was Hugonia xanthomelas was followed 
but not secured, and Dryas pandora occurred amongst other 
things on the way down. An ascent of the Domogled with a 
wide detour over the range to the west produced little of interest 
beyond some of those already mentioned. 
Dr. Partos, one of the physicians at the Kursalon, informed 
me his man had seen Libythea celtis flying in the market; I 
accordingly went there several times during the forenoon on the 
day I was leaving and got a fine series of the species, which did 
not put in an appearance until between ten and eleven o’clock, 
after which it became very abundant, and was absolutely fresh 
out. The specimens taken vary little excepting in size, measuring 
from 89 to 49 mm. It is a very inconspicuous insect, and I 
recognized that I had got, as I thought, a passing glimpse of it 
also on the road in the Cserna-thal. Butterflies seemed in- 
different to the traffic here in the market, and during the short 
intervals I was about I noticed more than twenty different 
species. 
I had a card of introduction from Herr Aigner to a gentleman 
in Orsova, where he advised me to spend a day; but as I was 
anxious not to miss an expedition to Peszér which was being
