266 THE ENTOMOLOGIST. 
Thecla acacia, F.—Near Condamine, June 24th ; and at Barcelonnette, 
July lst. This always seems a rare insect, and by no means numerous 
where it occurs. 
Lycena sebrus, Bdv.—Above Barcelonnette, July 3rd. 
L. eros, O.—Close by Lake Allos, and on the Col D’Allos; July 2nd. 
L. meleager ab. steveni, Fr.—A pair on June 28th above Digne, on 
slopes of Mont Cousson. : 
L. admetus var. ripperti, Frr.—Two specimens on blossoms of lavender, 
near Digne. 
L. damon, Schiff.—Abundant at Barcelonnette, and Allos; but I found 
no females. 
Melitea cynthia, Hb.—Not rare; high up, near Allos. 
Argynnis ino, E.—Common at Godessart, above Barcelonnette, on 
July 3rd. 
Melanargia galatea, L., var. leucomelas, E.—Above Digne; June 27th. 
Erebia glacialis, K., var. alecto, Hb., and ab. pluto, E.—Common on 
rocky slopes above Godessart, Barcelonnette, July 3rd. This insect seems 
to be of an inquisitive disposition, which is fortunate, for it is impossible to 
move at more than a snail’s pace on the difficult places it haunts. My net 
is made of black lisse, and by standing still and allowing it to blow in the 
wind I found the Frebi@ attracted thereto, and I was thus able to take a 
good series, often having several round me whilst I was pinning one. 
E. gorge, K., var. erynis, E.—With the preceding, not uncommonly. 
Satyrus circe, F.—Very frequent near Digne; as was S. hermione, L. 
Cenonympha iphis, Schiff_—Common in larch woods, above Allos, on 
July 1st; and at Barcelonnette. 
C. arcania var. darwiniana.—F requently met with in larch woods, 
above Barcelonneite, on July 2nd. 
C. doras, E.—Between Barcelonnette and Prunieres, common, June 
25th; also near Digne. 
Spilothyrus lavatere, K.—Eight miles from Prunieres, abundant ; also 
near Digne. 
Syrichthus fritillum, Hb., var. carling, Rbr.—At the lagodella Mad- 
dalena. 
The sun’s heat at Digne, on one or two days, was really 
dangerous, the shade temperature being about 95° Fahr., and I 
was glad to leave the hot stuffy town and the barren waterless 
mountains for higher ground. Among plants there I noticed 
Senecio doria, Leuzea conifera, and quantities of Catananche 
cerulea; also Glaucium phenicia. I regret that I was too late 
for Thecla roboris, Lycena iolas, and Erebia epistygne, but it 
appears this has been an unusually early year at Digne. 
On returning from Gorizia I stayed one night at Turin, and 
as the train arrived early in the afternoon I drove over to Veneria, 
and in the half hour an impending thunderstorm allowed, I 
succeeded in taking in the wet meadows of the park several 
Cenonympha edipus, F.; also Thecla ilicis, E., var. esculi, O., 
on flowers of the watercress. Vanessa polychloros, L., was 
common, and on the way out Apatura ilia var. clytie frequently 
settled on the road.
