seemed to me,” he wrote, ‘‘ confined to pine and cedar-wooded areas ”’ 
of the Veluchi (Greece), and certain parts of Northern Asia Minor and 
the Lebanon. With regard to Cenonympha dorus (so common in 
S.E. France) in the Central Balkan reported by Bachmetjew, and 
also Agriades escheri, neither is quoted with authority by Rebel 
(‘Cat. Lep. d. Balkanlander*). At all events eschert is included as a 
doubtful, and from information recently to hand from Dr. Verity it 
would appear as though the distribution of this “Blue” is not 
extended south of the Central Alps, east of Botzen. Major Graves 
also points out that Batchmetjew’s Epinephele ida is not supported by 
Rebel, though I find it reported from Valona in Southern Albania (or 
is it in New Greece now ?), and of course, it occurs abundantly in 
Corfu, and at Zara and Spalato on the Hastern Adriatic coasts. 
The omission of Hipparchia briseis from Capt. Barraud’s ‘‘ Notes on 
Lepidoptera, ete,” (‘ Entomologist,’ vol. li, p. 88, 1918) is accidental. I 
have an example of exceptional size, obviously referable to var. major, 
Oberthiir, taken by him at Paprat in June, 1918, and it is stated by 
Mr. Mace (‘ Entomologist,’ vol. liii, p. 103, 1919) to have been seen in 
June and again in autumn, though not unduly common. This last 
record, I assume, denotes an extended emergence rather than the 
occurrence of a late autumnal second brood, for I know of no Satyrus 
or Hipparchia north of the Mediterranean or at all which is double- 
brooded. That the flight of the Satyrids of these groups may be pro- 
longed well into the autumn I have proof, for I find from my diary 
that Satyrus circe, which first appeared in the Alpes-Maritimes in 
mid-June, was still on the wing at Beaulieu, A.M., when I was there 
in 1902 on October 9th.—H. Rownanp-Brown; Harrow Weald,

ButtTERLIES OF NOTE OBSERVED AROUND TRING.— Having given my 
time entirely to butterflies around Tring for the last four years, a 
few notes on the rarer ones may be interesting. Pveris rape: I took 
avery curious 9 flying along a road in June, 1920. All wings of a 
deep creamy tint without any of the usual spots, also a very deep 
yellow ? bred from Tring larve. Leptosia sinapis: Of this local 
species I had the good fortune to capture a g in a wood near by in 
1919. Not seen since. Colas edusa: Odd examples to be found 
nearly every year. Five specimens last August. Gonepteryx rhamnt : 
A crippled ? bred from ova, 1920, has the underside streaked with 
brownish-red. Another specimen presented to me has the fore wing 
tipped with red. Taken at High Wycombe. Brenthis ewphrosyne : 
Several males last year with the usual silvery spots replaced by dull 
leaden-blue. Also a 2? approaching creamy. <Argynnis aglaia: I 
took a pure white example in July, 1917, near Halton, Bucks. Seen 
several days before I netted it, when half its hind wing was missing. 
Dryas paphia: A few last year in the woods. Very scarce round 
here, although I took a fair number of ¢ g in 1919 but left the @ 2. 
Melitea artemis : Very much to my surprise I took nine specimens 
last year, never having seen it before, some just in Bucks and others 
well in Herts, these being much larger and brighter. Huvanessa 
antiopa: This specimen was recorded by my father. Taken in an 
old boot by my friend, who gave it to me in 1917 (‘ Entomologist,’ 
* «Ann. Nat. Hist. Hof. Mus. Wien,’ xxvii, pp. 281-334, 1913.
