MEDITERRANEAN LEPIDOPTERA. 9 



P. 83. — There is a notation, " Deiopeia pulchella, not common." 

 On May 9th there were large numbers on the wing, as far as I 

 can remember, up a wied at the back of St. George's Bay. 



P. 84. — Plusia gamma I first saw on March 10th, and Botys 

 ferrugalis on 18th of that month. 



Corfu. — Of the species mentioned on pp. Ill and 112, Pieris 

 daplidice, Lycana telicanus, Limenitis Camilla, Melitcea didyma, 

 Hipparchia (Satyrus) semele, Satyrus {Pararge) roxelana, and 

 Epincphele hispulla, were taken by me between May 22nd and 

 27th. Vanessa egea I did not get till returning on July 6th. 

 The additions from May 22nd to 27th show as — Melanargia larissa 

 var., Ccenonympha pamphilus var. lyllus, Vanessa atalanta, Lyccena 

 icarus, Strymon w-album, Thymelicus actceun, Pamphila sylvanus, 

 Arctia villica, Euchelia jacobcece, Zygcena punctum, Z. filipendulce, 

 Plusia gamma, Acontia luctuosa, Acidalia aversata, A. imitaria, 

 Duponchelia fovealis, Pyralis farinalis, Pyransta purpuralis, Ste- 

 nopteryx hybridalis, Sphaleroptera ictericana ; and on July 6th, 

 Vanessa c-album. 



The King's Park, to which one is admitted free, is an ideal 

 place for a day's collecting ; gardens, plantations, and grass land 

 being in abundance, while on the sea face the cliffs afford good 

 rough scrub, which I should imagine, especially for a coleopterist, 

 would well repay careful search. Being quite a beginner, I did 

 not appreciate all the possibilities of the place, I am sorry to 

 say, or undoubtedly I should have made a big haul. There is 

 one little piece of advice I would give to anyone going to the 

 King's Park while the syringa bushes are in bloom, and that is, 

 " Dont hang about them too long, as their effect is much like 

 hay fever." 



Trieste. — I think the hill-side Mr. Mathew speaks of, on p. 

 114, must have been the same one I explored on June 11th and 

 13th, three months earlier in the year than he was there; the 

 results as shown by the list were much better. 



Navarino, at the beginning of July, was, like most places on 

 the coast of Greece, quite burnt up, but some large flats up the 

 bay should be happy hunting grounds earlier in the year ; as it 

 was, I got twenty-six species, as shown in the list. 



From the way Mr. Mathew speaks of his stay at Venice, I 

 fancy he must have been lucky enough to be in a ship that was 

 able to go up the canal and anchor off the city, instead of 

 remaining outside, as we had to do in the ' Victoria ' in June, 

 1891, whence communication with the city was only once a day 

 by torpedo boat. Still, " it is an ill wind, &c," so I was able to 

 land on the vegetated sandbank that forms Malamocco, and get 

 a few species. 



Pola, being purely a naval port, our wanderings were very 

 much limited, nobody being allowed to go near any of the forts
