170 THE ENTOMOLOGIST. 



same lake, ceded by Turkey to Montenegro in consequence of the 

 Berlin Treaty ; as its name implies, it is situated in the alluvial 

 plain of the Zeta, at the foot of the savage Albanian Alps. 

 Spuzh is an ancient stronghold in the valley of the Zeta, a few 

 hours' journey east of Podgoritza. Dukle is the modern name 

 for the ancient Dioclea, now a scattered heap of ruins, formerly 

 the capital of the province of Prevalitana, famous as the birth- 

 place of Diocletian, and the home of the anonymous priest to 

 whom we are indebted for our scanty annals of the earliest Slav 

 settlers. Danilograd is a modern town springing up in the 

 heart of Montenegro, a few hours' journey north-east of Spuzh, 

 on the road to Nikshich. Cetinje is the miniature capital of 

 Montenegro, and Njegush, a little town half-way between Cetinje 

 and the coast, birthplace of the reigning Prince of Montenegro. 



These insects were taken on a trip that was undertaken more 

 for pure travel than for entomology, which accounts for the 

 somewhat meagre list of species included in these notes, of which 

 the Phaueropteridfe and Decticidse are the most interesting. No 

 prolonged stay was made in any one locality except at Cetinje ; 

 the various other places were visited in passing on a tramp 

 through the interior and up the coast.

 were visited : — 



Trau and Sebenico, July 27th ; Bocche di Cattaro and 

 Njegush, July 29th ; Cetinje, July 30th, and various days early 

 in August ; Sutorman Pass, July 31st ; Prisdan, August 1st ; 

 Spizza, August 2nd ; Castellastua, August 3rd ; Budua, August 

 4th ; Spuzh, Dukle, and Danilograd, August 7th and 9th.
