88 THE ENTOMOLOGIST. 
ceeded in taking about a dozen specimens; it was noticed almost 
daily, flitting up and down the high boulders by the side of the 
road bordering the lake, but was nowhere very plentiful. Cano- 
nympha pamphilus was represented by two worn specimens taken 
at Naes. Of Chrysophanes phleas I only captured one specimen, 
and only saw, so far as I recollect, one more. C. chryseis and 
C. virgauree proved about equally common. I captured a long 
series of both sexes of each of these two species. C. chrysets is 
represented by more females, and C. virgauree by more males. 
The latter species is, I think, rather more local, as well as later 
in time of appearance. Genus Polyommatus was represented by 
P. alexis and P. egon, both fairly common. MHesperide by one 
solitary specimen of Pamphila sylvanus taken at Buar-Brae, near 
Odde. Lepidoptera-Heterocera were not numerously represented, 
so far as my captures are concerned. Noctuide: Chareas gra- 
minis, Caradrina cubicularis, Agrotis segetum, A. candelisequa, 
Apamea fibrosa? Geometride: Hubolia mensuraria, Fidonia 
atomaria, F’. brunneata, Anaitis plagiata; also a species of Hupi- 
thecia. Of Crambide, Crambus pascuellus. All the above-named 
moths were taken at Roldal. Another specimen of Anaitis plagiata 
was captured at Bratlandsdal, as well as Boarmia repandata. 
As regards Neuroptera, I took one specimen of Aischna 
juncea in the outskirts of Bergen, and one of 4. pratensis on my 
return drive from the Bratlandsdal, where there was a wall of 
rock immediately to the right of the road, and a foaming torrent 
close beneath on the left. The pony drawing my carriole was 
advancing at a fast trot, and the dragon-fly came tilting in an 
opposite direction between the vehicle and the cliff. At the 
moment of my catching it I made certain that I had lost it, as 
the hoop of the net sprang out of the ferrule. Great quickness 
of eye and hand on this particular occasion alone enabled me to 
secure a species which was previously unrepresented in my 
collection, and I am convinced that I might make many attempts 
without meeting with like success. Of Hischna juncea, also new 
to my collection, I only saw and took the one specimen above 
recorded. Of 44. pratensis, possibly six or eight in all were 
noticed, some darting above the beds of the boulder stream and 
foaming mountain torrents, and one or two flying over boggy 
ground in the vicinity of the snow-fed tarns and runlets at a 
much higher elevation. Phryganide are represented by three 
specimens from Roldal Lake. One may possibly be Limnephilus 
griseus ; the other two belong to a larger species. Among the 
Coleoptera may be enumerated Geotrupes stercorarius, G. syl- 
vaticus, Cetonia enea, Aphodius fossor, A. depressus, Calathus 
melanocephalus, Nebria oliviert, Coccinella septempunctata, Philor- 
thus eneus?, Agriotes aterrimus, Chrysomela marginata, Carabus 
violaceus, Pterostichus sp.? All the above from Roldal. Silpha 
rugosa was obtained from a reindeer’s skull on the peat moss at
