This contains a long list of 87 butterflies and about 440 

 species of moths (excluding Micros), taken at Collioure, 

 on the coast of the Mediterranean, at Vernet, and at Mont 

 Louis, with numerous critical remarks on the localities, 

 and on the larvae, to which M. de Graslin appears to 

 have paid particular attention. Some new species are 

 figured.

 This paper gives an account of the localities visited by 

 the author in 1879 in the Western and Central Pyrenees, 

 where, however, he does not seem to have got any great 

 results, owing to frequent change of locality and bad 

 weather, and a list of the Lepidoptera, 92 species of 

 butterflies and 176 of moths (excluding Micros), found 

 by him during 1880 and 1881 at Vernet and Mont 

 Louis, in the Eastern Pyrenees. 



Charles Oberthur, ' Lepidopteres des Pyrenees.' 

 ' Etudes d'Entomologie, Huitieme Livraison,' Juin 

 1884, Eennes. A whole part of M. Oberthur 's beautifully- 

 printed and illustrated ' Etudes ' are devoted to Pyrenean 

 Lepidoptera, mostly from Cauterets, in the central part 

 of the range, and from the Picos d'Europa, an extension 

 of the Pyrenees in Northern Spain, which MM. Oberthur 

 were the first entomologists to visit. This paper con- 

 tains no general catalogue, but notes on a number of 

 species, and good figures of several, and has been of 

 great use to me in making up my list. 



Leaving London, with my wife, on the 28th June, I 

 travelled, via Paris and Toulouse, direct to Vernet les 

 Bains, a watering-place in the Department of the 

 Pyrenees Orientales, which has been better worked than 

 any other place in the Pyrenees, and is, on account of 

 its situation near the shores of the Mediterranean, its 

 warm climate, and its position close under Mont Canigou, 

 the highest point in the eastern part of the range, 

 perhaps the richest field for an entomologist in the South 

 of France. Here we found comfortable quarters and 

 excellent cooking at a very much lower rate than in the 

 Central and Western Pyrenees, which are more frequented 

 by tourists and bathers. Though not so easy of access 

 as Luchon or Cauterets, Vernet is only seven miles from 

 the railway at Prades, and a very good centre for 

 excursions. The rainfall is much less, the weather
