hind-wing. The only ones which at all approach it are 

 those from Colorado, and these are much smaller and more 

 rufous in colour. The only other Asiatic locality from 

 which I have fi'igga is the Vilui river, where it is large 

 and dark. 



110. A. thore, Hb., var, horealis, Stgr. 



I did not find this myself, but received two veiy small 

 pale-coloured specimens from Ongodai, and have another 

 from the Yenesei Valley in Grum-Grshimailo's collection. 

 These three are, like the Anmr specimens, paler than any 

 from Europe, though they most resemble those from Lap- 

 land known as var. horealis, Stgr. 



111. A. ino, Esp. 



This was abundant in the Bashkaus country and round 

 Lake Teletskoi below 4000 feet, at the end of July, and 

 the specimens do not differ appreciably from European 

 ones ; though those from Irkut and Kentei, which are 

 larger and paler, have been separated as var. clara by 

 Staudinger, whilst those from the Ussuri district and Lower 

 Amur, var. amurensis, Stgr., are again much larger than 

 either. 



112. A. daphne, Schiff. 



This I did not take, but received two pairs from 

 Ongodai, which agree with European specimens. 



113. A. hecate, Esp. 



This was abundant only in one place, just north of the 

 Kurai Steppe in a luxuriantly wooded valley, and was 

 fairly fresh on July 23id. Berezowsky and Jacobson 

 took it at Ongodai. The Altai specimens ai'e most like 

 Hungarian ones, both sexes, the females especially, being 

 much darker and more heavily marked than the form 

 from the Pamir known as alaiea, Stgr. 



114. A. lathonia, L. 



I did not see this, though LeJerer records it from the 

 Buchtarma Valley. 



115. A. aglaia, L. 



This was common from about 6000 feet down to Lake 

 Teletskoi in the latter half of July, and did not appreciably 

 dirt'er from average European specimens.
