210 THE ENTOMOLOGIST. 



siibolpiiut. Gavarnie ; more abundant than the type (5000-6000 ft.). 

 — C. (jordius. Gavarnie, St. Sauveur, Pont cle Bcia (3000-5500 ft.). 

 Exceedmgly fine specimens occur in the Pyrenees with a very vivid 

 violet reflection, but I only took a small series. 



Lijacna mjon. St. Sauveur, Gedre, Heas, and Port de Gavarnie. 

 Exceedingly abundant at the latter locality (3000-7000 ft.). Most of 

 the male specimens possess wide black borders to all their wings, as in 

 the Alps at the lower elevations, — L. anjus ?. Gavarnie (5500 ft.). — 

 L. orbUulus. Gavarnie ; scarce (5000 ft.). — L. eros. One worn speci- 

 men, Port de Gavarnie (6000 ft.). — L. icanis. Scarce at Pierrefitte 

 and St. Sauveur (1800-3000 ft.). — L. eumedon. One specimen at St. 

 Sauveur (3000 ft.). — L. escheri. A small series at St. Sauveur, Heas, 

 and Gedre (3000-5500 ft.). Smaller in size than those found in the 

 Alps. — L. astrarche. Scarce at Pierrefitte, Gedre, Gavarnie, and Heas 

 (1800-5500 ft.).— L. hellarfjus. One specimen at St. Sauveur (3000 ft.). 

 — L. cori/don. Abundant ; Port de Gavarnie, Heas, Gedre, Pont de 

 Scia (3000-5500 ft,). Eather small, but richly coloured specimens, — 

 L. Ill/las. Abundant ; St. Sauveur, Port de Gavarnie, Heas, Gedre, 

 Pont de Scia (3000-5500 ft,). — L. minma. Scarce ; Heas, St. 

 Sauveur, Port de Gavarnie (3000-5500 ft.). — L. semiairius. Scarce ; 

 Port de Gavarnie, Heas (5000-5500 ft,). — L. arion. Not common; 

 Pierrefitte, Heas, Gavarnie (1800-5500 ft,). The specimens resemble 

 those found in the Alps, which are not so blue as those occurring in 

 the plains. — Var. ohscura. Gavarnie and Heas (5000-5500 ft.). 



Apaturid.e (two species). 



Apatura ilia var. chjtie. One worn specimen at St. Sauveur 

 (8000 ft,), — A. iris. I believe I saw a specimen of this insect at 

 Pierrefitte (1800 ft.), but as it is very scarce and local in the Pyrenees, 

 I will not be sure. 



Nymphalid.e (nineteen species). 



Linwnitis caiiiiUa. Scarce at St. Sauveur and Gorge de Pierrefitte 

 (2500-3000 ft.). 



Vanessa c -album. Not uncommon at Gedre and St. Sauveur 

 (8000-3500 ft.). The light form only, — T'. urticce. A few specimens 

 at Gavarnie and Heas (5000-6000 ft.). Larvje abundant at the 

 former locality on nettles. — V. antiopa. One very worn hybernated 

 specimen at Gedre (3500 ft,). — Y. atalanta. Not uncommon at Pierre- 

 fitte, St. Sauveur, Gedre, Port de Gavarnie (3000-7500 ft,). On the 

 last-named pass I saw a specimen at the summit which possessed a 

 predilection for settling upon the stone which marks the boundary 

 between France and Spain. — V. cardui. Scarce; Port de Gavarnie 

 (5500 ft.). Saw a few larvfe at Heas feeding on thistles. 



McliUca phccbe. One specimen at Gedre (8500 ft.). — M. didyma. 

 Not common ; Port de Gavarnie, Gedre, Gorge de Pierrefitte (2000- 

 5500 ft.). — Var. alpina. Occasionally with the type. — M. athalia.

 abundant, except at Pierrefitte, where, however, it was rather worn. — 

 M. parthenie. Eather scarce ; Port de Gavarnie, Heas (5000-6500 ft.). 

 Somewhat intermediate between the type and the alpine var. varia.—
