SIX WEEKS AMONGST HUNGARIAN BUTTERFLIES. 307 
On July 9th I removed my quarters to Tatra Fured, which is 
distant from Barlangliget about fifteen miles, and to get to 
which one has to go through Tatra Lomnitz. The weather 
during my stay at Tatra Fured was equally bad with that I had 
experienced elsewhere in the Tatra, and not much could be 
done. The day after my arrival, although there was some sun 
in the morning, the signs were ominous, and I could only get a 
few more Brenthis pales var. arsilache in the swamp where | had 
previously found them. Then the rain commenced to descend 
in torrents, and continued for the rest of the day. Professor 
Schmidt had told me that there was a good locality for 
Parnassius apollo var. carpathica between Tatra Fured and 
Tatra Lomnitz, about midway between the two places and on 
the left side of the road travelling from the former to the latter, 
and there being glimpses of sun on the morning of July 11th I 
made my way thither. After beating about on some foothills, 
which approach close to the road, and rise perhaps 300 ft. 
above it, I kicked up a pair of this magnificent form, one 
of which I captured ; I afterwards saw some half dozen others, 
of which two were netted. The specimens, which are all males, 
expand 88 mm. as against 78 mm., which is the average of my 
Swiss specimens, although they are not quite so large as my 
largest Albarracin Sierra example, which expands 92mm. On 
the same ground I came across Polyommatus optilete. On 
July 12th the weather broke up again, and the outlook was 
so hopeless that I felt it was no use my staying longer, and 
accordingly on the following morning I entrained for Vienna on 
my route to England. 
At Tatra Fured I again came across luminous Coleoptera of 
two forms, one of these was the apterous female of Phausis splen- 
didula which was abundant, sitting amongst the herbage on the 
roadsides in the forest; the whole of the abdomen of this sex, 
which was white in colour, was phosphorescent, and the light 
resembled that of our glowworm. The other form was the male 
of the same species, which flew slowly amongst the trees in the 
forest, the phosphorescent portion, which was only small, being 
on the under side of the abdomen ; the light, which was much less 
than in the female, was continuous, and as the flight was steady 
and in a straight line it had the appearance of an electric spark 
running along a wire. 
The species of Rhopalocera observed in the Hohe Tatra, 
thirty-three in number, were: Parnassius apollo var. carpathica, 
Apori crategi, Pieris rape, P. napi, Euchloé cardamines, Leuco- 
phasia sinapis, Gonepteryx rhamni, Melitea dictynnoides, M. dic- 
tynna, Brenthis selene, B.euphrosyne, B. pales and var. arsilache, B. 
ino, Argynnis aglaia, Aglais urtice, Huvanessa antiopa (hybernated), 
Pyrameis atalanta, Polygonia c-album, Erebia medusa vay. hippo- 
medusa, HE. ligea var. adyte, Enodia hyperanthus, Pararge mera,
