A SEASON'S COLLECTING IN THE ALPES-MARITIMES. 

 By Charles E. Morris. 



(Concluded from p. 20.) 



PiERiD^. — Apoi-ia cratcegi swarmed at the " drinking bars." 

 The peasants take a sack from a mule's back when passing, and 

 slaughter them in hundreds. They think it is the cabbage 

 eater. 



Pieris hrassicte not very common ; P. rcqjce not very common ; 

 P. mmDii, one male taken ; P. napi, and male vars. sabelUca. and 

 napcece, var. hryonice, fem.ales, and one example ? sulphurea. 



Pontia callidice. a damaged but fresh female in the valley of tlie 

 Eabuons at flowers about 8.30 a.m. I was disappointed not to 

 get this butterfly in series, but it is rare here I fancy. Perhaps 

 I was not high enough. P. daplidice, with gen. vera, bellidice. 



Euchloe ausonid, Hb. {simplonia), not very common, a small, 

 fresh series ; gen. rest, tnrdtii, Kothsch. (r= helia, Auct.), very 

 worn, might be males of ausonia {=: siviploma). E. cardamines, 

 ab. citronea, Wh., on tbe wing very long ; perhaps a second 

 emergence. Three interesting female forms taken — one very 

 small, one with large lizard-shaped white marks on the under- 

 side of the hind wings, one with an entirely whitn half of the 

 left underside hind wing. 



Leptosia sinapis, gen. rent. Gen. (est. diiiiensis, apical tips 

 not very black, and females not quite of the erysimi form. Ab. 

 lathyri, and ? var. sartha. 



Cdlias phicnmone, plentiful, and of good colour. C. paheno: I 

 feel sure I saw a splendid male example on the Cime de Bercia. 

 M. Massart found large patches of Vaccinium idiginoaum on this 

 mountain. C. Jii/ale, common, females very white, neither sex 

 very heavily bordered ; two gens. C. ednsa not very common, 

 two emergences ; June and July, a few seen ; August, September, 

 October, and still coming out when we left. Ab. pallida 

 (=z helice) seen at St. Etienne ; and with the type at Cannes in 

 mid-November. These later emergences are of a much deeper 

 orange than the summer form. 



Goiiepteriix rhamni, common. G. cleopntni, a single male 

 seen. This appears to be the limit for height of this insect. It 

 was very scarce at about the same altitude at Beauvezer in 1914. 



Nymphalid^. — Dri/as papliia, neither sex very highly coloured ; 

 ab. valeaina ? , one or two seen. First seen July 28th — an extra- 

 ordinarily late date for the species. Not common.
