distance down the outer margin. The discal spot is differently 

 outlined, its margins generally being more concave, and there are 

 •often black streaks running from it to the outer margin. The 

 wings are generally rounder in outline. In the spring form inanni, 

 Mayer, the apex and spots are grey, but in the summer form, rossi, 

 : Stefa, they are black and altogether more prominent. It is a South 

 European species. 



" Pieris erfiane, Hbn., may be at once distinguished by its unspotted 

 underside. I found it abundant in most of the districts I visited. 

 I took a long series, including Kostagno's female aberration iiiaf/ni- 

 macidata, in which the black spots on the upper side are much 

 ■enlarged, and lonciimacidata, in which they are more or less united, 

 and form a cloudy band from costa to inner margin of forewing. 

 I also have specimens of, or very near to, his male aberration, semi- 

 macidata, in which the spots disappear, leaving only the dark apical 

 blotch on the upper-side of the forewing. In my specimens the 

 spots are faintly represented by obscure points. 



" Anthocaris helia var. auaonia I found abundantly in many 

 places ; they were especially abundant in an old Turkish cemetery 

 at Podgorita in Montenegro. The white spots on the underside of 

 the hindwings appear to me to be rather large and to resemble the 

 Italian form known as (?) roinana. 



" There is also a male specimen of Pontia {Leticochlue) daplidke, 

 rather large and with the undeiside markings of a greyer green 

 than most of my specimens. 



"Of Leptoda sinopis I have three forms. There are examples of 

 the first brood latJu/ri quite normal, with greenish-grey markings 

 on the underside of the hindwing ; of the summer form known 

 as diniuisia, with very dark apical spots on the forewing above 

 and practically without markings below. I also took a female 

 of the summer form known as erysimi, which is quite immaculate 

 on both the upper and under surfaces. 



"Colias ediisa. — There is a fine large female, 53nim. in expanse, 

 taken at .Tajce, in Bosnia, which I think is rather striking, the 

 orange spots in the marginal band being unusually large and 

 conspicuous. 



" A male Colias Jn/ale has the black apex much extended, and its 

 yellow spot almost obliterated, the discal spot being very close 

 to it and united with it by black rays." 



Mr. C. W. Colthrup exhibited a specimen of Vanessa io taken 

 hibernating in a room at Dulwich. 



Mr. Tonge exhibited a specimen of Sphin.r lii/Kstri in which
