and Leptonenra Cytus var. Tisiphone, the latter very abun- 

 dantly round Table Mountain. 



Mrs. Cox also captured a species of Lampides resembling 

 Palemon, but with the anal spot in the hind wing larger and 

 farther removed from the body. 



I have also eight other species of diurnal Lepidoptera 

 (chiefly Lycoena), of which, at present, I can find no types in 

 any museum.

On some Amurland Insects (Part IV.). — The genus Sirex 

 is associated with the pine forests which traverse the northern 

 latitudes of Europe, Asia, and America, and with the cedars 

 on Mount Lebanon. The species are few, and part of them 

 have a wide range, and blend into one of the Faunas of the 

 regions above mentioned. S. gigas inhabits Europe and 

 North America, and its occurrence in Amurland is as yet 

 only a probability. S. albicornis has been found in Nova 

 Scotia, Canada, Georgia, and British Columbia ; and in the 

 examples from these regions the black hue of the antennae is 

 limited to three or four joints; in a specimen from Amurland 

 it extends over some more joints, S. Juvencus dwells in 

 Nova Scotia and in Amurland, and inhabits North Europe 

 generally. S. Spectrum inhabits Nova Scotia and the district 

 of Hudson's Bay, as well as Amurland and North Europe, 

 and has been found in Algeria. S. flavicornis inhabits Amur- 

 land and various parts of North America. It thus appears 

 that in this genus the Faunas of Europe, Amurland, and 

 America are generally alike, or that the two latter have more 

 resemblance to each other than the second has to the first. —

 — Mr. Andrews will, I trust, excuse me if I say that I cannot 

 consider his note in the 'Entomologist' for March (Entom. 

 vi. 329) an entirely satisfactory or conclusive reply to my 

 enquiry in the January number: — " Does Aniiopa ever
