278 THE ENTOMOLOGIST. 



Pohiommatus icarus. — Common everywhere. Females inclining 

 to ab. hrunnea ; very few ab. coerulea. No interesting variation. 



Zephyrus quercus. — One 2 late in the month at Trestrignel. 



Chrysophanns phUias. — Fairly common. One ab. coeruleo-punc- 

 lata. No other variation whatever. 



C. dorilis. — Fairly common everywhere. S S ^^^ 2 2 about 

 equally divided. 



Pieris hrasaicce, P. rap(B and P. napi were all quite common 

 everywhere. The forms api^eared to be identical with the English 

 ones, except that rapa and napi had rather fainter black markings 

 than is usual in our yen. (Ei^t. 



Colias cdusa. — Occasionally on the coast, and becoming much 

 commoner further inland, especially towards Treguier. Just 

 outside this city I saw, but failed to take, an ab. helice. 



Papilio machaon. — One at Trestrignel. I understand that 

 this butterfly is generally fairly common on the channel coast, 

 especially in Normandy, so that it was perhaps strange that I 

 did not see more. 



Dryas paphia. — Fairly common in the woods. S 6 much 

 more abundant than ? $ . I noticed it at Tonquedec, Louanec, 

 and Trestrignel. 



Argynnis cydiptpe. — One worn specimen near Trestraou 

 (commune of Perros). Probably common earlier. 



Brenthis euphrosyne. — Oue in a marsh at Louanec. Ptather 

 a small example. It is generally double-brooded all over France. 



Pyramels cardiii. — Occasionally during the earlier pare of 

 August. P. atalauta. — Common everywhere. 



Vanessa io. — Fairly common. Very fine and large. 



Aglais urticce. — A few ; not common. 



Eugonia polychloros. — l saw one or two, and my cousin, Mr. 

 Ronald Blackie, took one at the beginning of the month. 



Hipparchia semele. — Common everywhere during the earlier 

 part of the month. The " Rock " and " Heath " Graylings were 

 both common. 



Pararge egeria. — Two forms. The English form egerides 

 appeared occasionally ; intermedia was common everywhere. 

 I took two specimens with basal spots yellow and outer spots 

 white. P. megacra. — Common everywhere. A few pale specimens. 



Epincphde jurtina. — Common everywhere. The ? 2 exhi- 

 bited a very interesting variation in the colour of the apical patch. 

 I took a fine series, which I have tabulated as follows : (1) Apical 

 patch tawny-orange. Common : jurtina. (2) Apical patch 

 creamy yellow. Rare : ab. intermedia, n. ab. (3) Apical patch, 

 upper half yellow, lower half white. Not common : ab. semialba, 

 n. ab. (4) Apical patch very pale yellow, almost white. Not 

 common : ab. tincta, n. ab. (5) Apical patch completely white. 

 Fairly common: ab. alba, n. ab. E. tithonas. — In thousands 

 everywhere. A few pale examples.
