Collection of Butterflies made in Maroeeo, 1900-2. 871 



1. Papilio podalirius, L. and var. fcisthamelii, Dup. 

 March 12th, 1901, bred, fed on Cherry. 



Tangier, March 22nd, 1901. Amsmiz, June 27th, 1901. 

 Imentalla, 5,500 feet, July 9th, 1901. 



Is universally distributed, and on the wing the whole 

 summer, very fond of the tops of low mountains of about 

 5,000 ft. elevation, where it may be seen in numbers on 

 the leeward side during the heat of the day. The larva 

 feeds on Cherry. Both P. podalirius and var. feisthamelii 

 occur at Tangier in March. 



2. P. machaon, L. 



Tangier, January 19th, 1901. Just emerged. Amsmiz, 

 June 27th, 1901. Tangier, August 29th, 1901. Forest 

 of Marmora, March 28th, 1902. 



On the wing at intervals from January until September. 



3. Thais rumina, L. 



Tangier, February 27th, 1901. Tangier, April 3rd, 

 1901. Tangier, March 9th, 1901. Tangier, March 19th, 

 1901 (var. cantencri, Hey.). 



This variety is not very uncommon late in the season, 

 and only occurs as far as I could see in the $. The perfect 

 insect is only on the wing from the end of February until 

 the beginning of April. Feeds on Aristolochia bcetica. 



4. Pieris hrassicx, L. 



Only taken at Tangier in all months from December to 

 August. I did not see it on the wing in the summer 

 anywhere in the central plains. 



Tangier, January 17th, 1900, December 25th, 1900; 

 August 26th, 1901 ; January 17th, 1902. 



[" The specimens are large but do not approach var. 

 cheiranthi, Htibn., and the seasonal differences are slight. 



"The form known as var. wollastoni, Butler, from Madeira 

 closely resembles some of these." — H. J. U.] 



5. Pieris rapiv, L. 



On the wing all the year round in the north. I did not 

 see it in the Great Atlas, but throughout the plains 

 wherever there was moisture diminutive forms were 

 ubiquitous in summer. 



Tangier, March 13th, 1901. Klatsa, May 13th, 1901. 

 Sam, August 27th, 1901.
