 at this time swarmed amongst the myrtle flowers in the 

 woods on the hills, near Lucca, and contributed to adorn 

 them by their numbers and their various flight. H. Galatea 

 was the most numerous, and appeared to consider Pieris 

 Brassicas an intruder, and chased it ; L. Sinapis and L. Arion 

 were of frequent occurrence ; and the beautiful S. Phegea 

 hovered in great abundance, and the sight of it and the rose- 

 banded wings of R. Calabraria was very attractive.

Ravenna, July 5. — Papilio Machaon, P, Podalirius, Colias

 clematis, and P. Podalirius was more common than near 

 Lucca.
