BUTTERFLY COLLECTING IN SOUTHERN ANDALUSIA. 231 



find Zegris meridionalis, but did not succeed in getting it. I 

 found Lyccena lorquinii in abundance in the higher regions, 

 flying about thyme flowers in little groups. This is a good 

 species, quite distinct from L. minima, and only occurs in 

 Andalusia. I was in error in describing it in a former paper as 

 occurring at Digne ; I am now convinced that the Provencal 

 specimens were only a small form of L. sebnis, from which this 

 differs entirely. 



From trying to do too much climbing after my recent illness, 

 I unfortunately strained my knee-joint, and was unable to do as 

 much collecting as I should have wished in this locality, which 

 seems a very good one, but I took a few specimens of MclitcBci 

 phoebe var. occitanica, Stgr., on the higher ground, and, in 

 addition, Melanargia syllius and Pararge mcsra var. adrasta. 



At Gibraltar, on May 2nd, I looked out for butterflies, and 

 observed on the rock, and particularly at Europa Point, Thais 

 rumina (one specimen), Papilio viachaon, C. edusa, P. atalanta, 

 P. cardui, E. Ida, E. ianira, P. megcera, CoenoJiympha pampkilus, 

 Lyccena asirarche, and L. icarus. 



During one day's excursion in the woods near the waterfall 

 at Algeciras, I found most of the common species, including 

 Euchloe helemia, and took one specimen of Lyccena melanops. 



The following is a list of the species taken in Andalusia from 

 March 16th to May 3rd :—
