NOTES AND OBSERVATIONS. 



Argynnis euphrosyne, var. — I received from a correspondent a very 

 fine variety of this species, taken by him in the New Forest this season. 

 It somewhat resembled that figured in Entom. xxvii. p. 1, fig. 1 ; but in 

 my specimen the black area of hind wings is rather more extended, and 

 the discoidal spots are larger, one on each wing being quite a blotch. 

 The insect is a male in first-class condition, and was sent to me unset 

 soon after capture. — E. Sabine ; Erith. 



Epinephele jurtina ab. anommata (Verity). — I have a specimen of 

 Epmephele jurtiiia (janira), male, which agrees with the form described 

 by Mr. Verity [ante, p. 56) as a new aberration. I captured the speci- 

 men near Brockenhurst on June 23rd, 1901. The usual apical pupilled 

 spot is abseut from the fore wings, and there is only a slight indication 

 of the tawny patch usually present. On the under side of the hind wing 

 there are only minute black specks in place of the usual spots. — Philip 

 J. Barraud ; Bushey Heath. 



Spring Dragonflies from the South of France. — I have received 

 from Dr. T. A. Chapman a small collection of dragonflies made by him 

 in the spring, in the South of France. From Hyeres (March 20th till 

 April 17th) there are one female Ih-achi/trou piatense ; one female 

 Pyrrhosoma nyrnphida ; seven Jschnura elcgans, one male only ; and 

 eighteen Si/mpi/cnafusca, five males and thirteen females. All except 

 the last are British species, which in early seasons do not appear with 

 us till the latter part of April, seldom so early ; in fact, I have no 

 record of I. eleyans till May 17th. At Draguignan, from May 3rd till 

 May 8th were taken one male (Tomphxis simillimns: three Lihellnla de- 

 pressa, one teneral male and two females ; and one female Cordulegaster
