CONTINENTAL INSECTS OF VARIOUS ORDERS 
TAKEN BY DR. T. A. CHAPMAN IN 1913. 
wowed. loweas,. B.A. FaniS. 
Pupa-skin of Ascalaphus coccajus. Magnification a little over 24 nat. size. 
One antenna could not be withdrawn, and it is shown broken, or bitten off. 
The pupal-jaws are well seen; and it must be borne in mind that they were 
worked by the imaginal jaws that were not then withdrawn from them. The 
pupal-skin is very ethereal, as can easily be seen. The head has become detached 
from the body. 
Arter each of two entomological excursions to the Continent 
in 1918, Dr. Chapman was kind enough to give me a small 
collection of insects, which he was able to take, belonging to the 
less-known Natural Orders. In April, May, and June, he visited 
the Rhone valley in Switzerland and the district of the Italian 
Lakes, and this first collection contained insects from Sierre 
(1760 ft.) in the Rhone valley, from Locarno (680 ft.) on Lago 
Maggiore in Switzerland, and from Pallanza (680 ft.), also on 
Lago Maggiore, but in Italy. 
In July and August the scene of operations was transferred 
to France, and the. second collection contained insects from 
Lautaret (6790 ft.) and Bourg d’Oisans (2860 ft.) in Dauphiné. 
The former is a well-known botanical and entomological locality, 
and the latter is in the valley of the Rimauche, on the way up to 
Lautaret. 
My thanks are due to Mr. K. J. Morton for naming a number 
of the specimens.
