346 Mr. H. J. Elwes on the 



below 2000 feet, Bija Valley, and open country towards 

 Biisk, towards the first week in August, and does not 

 differ from European specimens. 



126. U. sedalcovii, Ev. 



Common in the forest country of the Bashkaus and its 

 tributaries the last week in July, but the females had not 

 appeared at the time we left this country. Jacobson also 

 found it common at Ongodai, and sent me a female taken 

 on August 8th. The Altai specimens vary little, and 

 seem smaller than those from the Amur country. The 

 range appears to be from about 3000 — 5000 feet, never 

 mixing with lethiops. It flies on grassy places in open 

 forest. 



127. E. ligca, L. 



Abundant in larch forests in the Tchulishman Valley, 

 where I first saw it on July 27th at about 4000 feet, when 

 the males were a little worn and the females quite fresh ; 

 from this point down to Lake Teletskoi in the Bija Valley 

 the species was common. The bands above are somewhat 

 paler and broader than average European specimens, as are 

 those from Lake Baikal and the Amur Valley, but not 

 to the same extent as in the typical Eastern form 

 ajanensis, Men. 



128. E. cwyale, Esp. 



I found this myself only on the north side of the 

 Kurai Pass in marshy larch forest at 5000 — 6000 feet, 

 on July 25th and 26th, when specimens were mostly 

 worn. They did not occur where I found ligea. Jacobson 

 and Berezowsky took it at Ongodai, and some of these 

 specimens might as well be called ligca. In fact I am not 

 able to draw a line between them, for though the same 

 general characters by which they are separated in Europe, 

 namely, smaller size and less distinct markings below, will 

 usually separate them in Asia, yet there are some which 

 cannot be certainly referred to either species. The general 

 character, howevex", is like those from the Irkut Valley, 

 referred to in my recent paper on the genus Erebia in 

 Trans. Ent. Soc. 1898, p. 198. 



129. E. lappona, Esp. 



Found in the Tchuja Mountains at about 8000 feet, 

 but not abundantly, on July 9th and 10th, and on the
