Butterflies of Aragon. 451 
eleanthe is to be had. M. ines we only took near 
Cuenca—never on the Teruel side of the watershed. 
Of the genus Syrichthus, S. proto is common in the 
valleys, S. carthamt in the mountains, and a very well- 
marked variety of S. alveus, probably var. cirsit, is taken 
in plenty about Noguera. It occurred to us that the 
country had been far more thoroughly worked around 
Cuenca and Albarracin, and in the Noguera and Bron- 
chales group of mountains, than around Tragacete, the 
Muela de San Juan, and Lago d’Una. Professor Max 
Korb spent much time at Bronchales during the summer 
of 1896, searching for the larva of the rare Saéwrnia 
isabella, and he has probably taken everything worthy 
of notice in those forests. He has also hunted the 
country around Cuenca pretty thoroughly, and the whole 
Albarracin district has been constantly worked by 
Canon Zapater for many years past. But from 'Traga- 
cete, a large prosperous village within an hour’s walk 
of the source of the Jucar, and within reach of the Tagus 
valley, there is a great extent of mountain and forest 
country, many boggy uplands and hot gorges, which 
deserve to be explored. ‘Travelling is easy on mules, 
_the people are remarkably honest, civil, and hospitable, 
and the climate delightful. 
There are excellent inns at Cuenca, Albarracin, and 
Teruel ; no guide books are of much use; and no good 
maps are to be had. ‘The mountain inns are no worse 
than they are in other countries, and the food decidedly 
better than in out of the way parts of Italy or 
Ireland. 
I append a list of the species of Rhopalocera to be had 
in the district—partly derived from Canon Zapater’s 
Catalogue, those recorded for the first time being 
marked * :— 
Papilio sinon, Poda (podalirius, L.); also var. feist- 
hameli, Dup. (common) ; P. machaon, L. 
Thais rumina, L., scarce—we only took one. 
Parnassius apollo, L., common—and pretty varieties to 
be had. 
Aporia crategi, L., common. 
Pieris brassice, L., common; P. rapx, L.; P. napi, 
Ll, ; Po daplidice, L. 
Anthocharis belemia, Usp., very rare; A. belia, Cram.,
