16. P. callidice, var. ? clirysidicc, H. S. 



This was the only Pieris I found on the high mountains 

 above timber-Hne, and there it was not at all common. 

 The specimens are variable in size, and there may be 

 two broods, as I have a somewhat worn specimen taken 

 on June 20th, and fresh ones from the Bashkaus taken 

 a month later. They are more like the form from the 

 Pamir and mountains of North Persia and Armenia than 

 the European callidice, but I do not see how the line 

 can be drawn between chrysidice, callidice, and kalora, 

 Moore from the Himalayas when a large number are 

 compared, though those from the European Alps are 

 usually more yellowish on the hind-wing below. 



17. Anthocharis cardamines, L. 



Taken at Biisk and Ongodai in the first half of June. 



18. A. helia, Cr., var. 



I found a few males of this fresh out at Ongodai on 

 June 13th, but got no females. They are more like the 

 alpine form simplonia in some respects, but the underside 

 of the hind-wing is variegated in a different way. With- 

 out a larger series of both sexes I am not able to assign a 

 varietal name to this form. 



19. A. pyrothoe, Ev. 



Taken at Kenderlik by Ruckbeil but not seen by my- 

 self; perhaps it should not be included in the Altai list, 

 as Kenderlik is south of the Irtysch river. 



20. Lcucophasia sinapis, L. 



I found the first generation of this at Kazan on May 

 25th, and at Biisk and Ongodai at the beginning of June. 

 The second generation was common in the Bija Valley in 

 the first week in August. They do not differ from European 

 specimens. 



21. Colias palxno, L. 



The only place where I saw this was in a swampy flat 

 overgrown with willows on the north side of the Kurai Pass 

 at about 5000 feet, where it had been out some time, though 

 fresh specimens were still to be found on July 25 th. Ruck- 

 beil also procured it in the Southern Altai. The males are
