Pajares. Probably they are. I took one $ specimen of evicts 

 at Pajares ; it was a form that might very well be associated 

 with stygne, but as a matter of fact I took it some 200 

 yards from the nearest stygne ground, at about 5000 ft., 

 and I took but the one. Why ? it was not in fine 

 condition but not so bad as to show that the species was 

 over. 



I also took one' $ specimen of evias at a long distance 

 from the $ specimen. It was associated with small stygne 

 at the highest point at which I found them, a small colony 

 at 6000 ft. on very steep impracticable rocks, so that I only 

 took two specimens. Evias may have been in greater 

 proportion to the stygne here as I found one evias to two 

 stygne, but the whole colony was a very small one, as, 

 though I could not traverse the rocky slope, 1 easily got 

 round it except at one side where it ended in a precipice. 

 This ground was about 50 ft. above the upper margin of 

 one of the highest localities for palarica. 



Why was evias so rare ? Was this a bad season for 

 high-level evias 1 I will explain immediately what I mean 

 by high-level evias. It was not for want of going over 

 plenty of ground that I found only these two. 



On going rather later (July 24th) to the Guadarrama, 

 we hunted well the slopes of the Penalara, whence our 

 President brought one specimen each (taken in 1902) of 

 stygne and evias, taken together, and so alike as to leave 

 no doubt they were mimetically associated on the Penalara 

 as we found them on the Sierra de la Damanda at Canales. 

 On the Penalara we found E. stygne, var. penalara}, in 

 considerable numbers, unfortunately in a very poor con- 

 dition, except on some very rough ground near the top, 

 where they were less common and almost impossible 

 to take. As I brought home some 30 specimens I must 

 have handled 50 or 60 specimens. Amongst them was not 

 even one evias. I can only suppose evias was for some 

 reason very scarce. We were not too late to have seen 

 some old worn specimens, and I specially took many worn 

 individuals in hopes they might afford an evias; they were 

 all, however, stygne. 



In what I have just said about evias, var. penalarm, some 

 one may perhaps think I am casting some doubt on the 

 President's specimen, that he got it somehow mixed up. 

 If I thought so, I should say so, and no one who knows the 

 President would think such a thing likely. But the
