butterflies of the French Pyrenees. 389 



1. Papilio podidirius. E. C. To about 3000 ft.— I did 



not take the type, which, according to Oberthiir, 

 is found in the central and probably in the western 

 parts of the chain. The variety Fcisthameli, Dup., 

 is common at Vernet in July and August, but of 

 the first generation, which occurs in May there, 

 some specimens given me by M. Oberthiir are as 

 yellow as the ordinary podalirius from Germany 

 and Brittany, and others are as white as Feist- 

 hameli from Collioure and Andalusia. If these 

 specimens are bred from the same batch of eggs 

 it would seem that the variety is not constant. 

 De Graslin says that the larva of Fcisthameli is 

 not different from that of podalirius. 



2. Papilio machaon. E. C. To 5000 ft. 



3. Thais rumina, var. medesicaste. E. To 2000 ft. 



May — July. 



4. Parnassius apollo. E. C. 3 — 5000 ft. June, July. 



5. P. mnemosyne. E. C. 4 — 5000 ft. June, July. — 



I found this common in July in the slwty wooded 

 glens on the north side of the slope at the Col du 

 Cheval Mort, and endeavoured again without 

 success to discover the food-plant of its larva. 

 No species of Corydalis was, however, to be found 

 in the places where it was most abundant. 



6. Aporia Cratcegi. E. C. Common at 3 — 4000 ft., 



and up to 6000 ft. 



7. Pieris brassicce. E. C. To 4000 ft. 



8. P. rapce. E. C. To 7000 ft. 



9. P. napi. E. C. To 6000 ft. 



10. P. caUidice. E. C. 6—9000 ft. June— July.— 



I found it wherever I went above 6000 ft., and see no 

 difference between Pyrenean and Alpine specimens. 



11. P. daplidicc. E. C. To 2000 ft. Not abundant. 



12. Anthocharis cuphcnoides. E. C? Common to 5000ft. 



at Vernet. May — July. — I am almost positive that 

 I saw this species at 7000 ft., near the Port d'Es- 

 pagne, above Gavarnie, but was unable to take it. 



A. Bella, var. ausonia, occurs at Collioure on the 

 coast, but not as in the Alps and Himalaya in the 

 mountains. 



A. tages, var. bellezina. — M. Oberthiir notes this on 

 my list as occurring in the Eastern Pyrenees, but 

 does not say whether on the coast or in the 

 mountains.
