unexpected captures were F. amanda and Limeniiis Camilla, 
both at over 4,000 feet; one of the former was almost as 
large as the Tyrolean form, and the latter Avere all exception¬ 
ally large, the species being no doubt single-brooded at that 
altitude. By way of contrast a second-brood S from Assisi 
was shown, these being very small. P. ineleager, which was 
very common, showed three very different shades of blue, 
though all came from Boccaraso, and P. icarus was of the 
same deep hue as at Assisi, some of the having black 
marginal spots on the upperside of the hind-wing. A. medon 
{astrarche) had the unusually large, the 59 being small, 
with large and brilliant orange spots. P. coridon was very 
pale in colouring, cori-esponding with Zeller’s description of 
var. apennina, but not with his type specimens. As a con¬ 
trast, two other forms from the Apennines, the much bi-ighter 
blue from Assisi, and the somewhat leaden-looking form from 
Fiesole Avere shown. The other species exhibited were : 
Erimiys lavaterae (very pale), E. althaeae and E. alceae; Hesperia 
alveiis, //. carthami (very small), II. onopordi and II. serra- 
tidae ; Ileodes virgaureae (large and bright, only), Loweia 
gordiiis, L. dorilis, Rumicia p)ldaeas var. eleus, Lycaeaa avion, 
Aricia eumedon (very small), Polyommatus escheri (small and 
bright), P. Jiylas, P. thetis {hellargus), Plebeius aegon (small), 
and P. argyrognomon, Everes alcetas, Cnpido minwms (avIucIi 
seems to be scai’ce), and Celastrina argiolus', Klugia spini, 
Nordmannia ilicis and i\\ acaciae (the commonest of the 
Theclids) ; Ay)oria crataegi, Pieris rapae (from the same 
ground at Subiaco as P. ergane, and nearly twice the size), 
P. najii var. napaeae (very large, and as strongly marked 
on the upperside as P. manni var. rossii), Argynnis aglaia 
and A. niobe (from Boccaraso), A. adippe var. cleodoxa (a 
very fine specimen from Subiaco, not taken in the Abruzzi), 
Issoria lathonia (very small), Melitaea phoebe (from Palena, 
over 4,000 feet, small and dark, contrasted with Spanish- 
looking specimens from Assisi), M. didyma, large and pale, 
II. parllienie (from Boccai’aso and Palena, single-brooded of 
course at this eleAmtion, and coming in appearance between 
the two broods at Assisi); Pararge maera (not of the adrasta 
form), with a fine 5 aberration fi’om below Scanno ; Coeno-
