the Bay at Pontevedra very like that at Vigo or Carril; 
low, often, however, steep hills, more or less wooded, 
chiefly with oak and fir, cultivated valleys and _ slopes. 
The butterflies most abundant along all this region are 
Lampides betica and telicanus, imagines, eggs and larvae 
always common, wherever the showy Adenocarpus inter- 
medius grew, and that is by almost every wayside, on 
every slope and the margins of the woods. Cawnonympha 
dorus mathewi was frequent on all open grassy or heathy 
slopes, but rare before the middle of July. 
The following notes on some of the Lepidoptera ob- 
served may be of use :-— 
C@NONYMPHA DORUS MATHEWI, Tutt. 
(? prec. = var. bieti, Stdg.) 
(Plate V, figs. 1-12.) 
Canonympha dorus, var. mathewi, Tutt. 
We found this species at all localities visited, it was 
very rare at Vigo in the third week in June; in the third 
week in July it was much more frequent, but beginning 
to go over in condition. Here and at Pontevedra (July 
19th) as well as at Tuy (July 18th) it occurred down to 
nearly sea-level, and up to about 1,000 ft. (at Redondela). 
At Casayo it was frequent along our walk on the hill-side 
(first week in July) at about 3,500 ft. and at Brafiuelas 
a week later at 3,000 to 4,000 ft. At all these stations 
the form of the insect is much the same, perhaps the 
Brafiuelas specimens have more individuals with paler 
under-sides. Canonympha mathewi of Tutt is, in view of 
these specimens, only a local race of dorus, and there is 
probably no great difference between it and Staudinger’s 
iiett from North Portugal, though Staudinger does not 
mention as a character of dieti, the most striking difference 
between mathewi and dorus, viz. the dark hind-margin of 
the hind-wing beneath, narrowing the pale area to a band 
or line, barely reaching the ocelli, the outer dark margin 
of this however has a small pale patch, just beyond the 
middle ocellus. Mathewi is, like dorus, very variable on 
the upper-side. In the male the whole surface may be of 
a uniform deep or blackish-brown without trace of ocelli
