13. Cydopides wilUml (J, Marcli 1, 1899. A woodland insect 



settling on flowers and nevei* on ground. Kests tit night 

 on grass-stems. Probably attacked on the wing, as the 

 injury is unilateral and the butterfly closes its wings 

 when settleil. 



14. PsendonympJia vujilans r?, jMarcli 17, 1901. A rock butter- 



fly, lizards the probable enemies. 



15. Jnaonia cehrene (J, Jan. 14, 1899. 



16. „ „ „ Feb. 18, 1899. 



17. G. ivilkmi (^, March 11, 1899. If this butterfly was 



attacked, a bird is the probable enemy. 



18. Herpae')ua eriphia $, March 9, 1898. Flies slowly and 



rather low, settling on flowers and the ground like a 

 Teraculus. Lizards the probable enemies. 



19. Mi/lothris riippelii S, l''^'''- 1900- Slow flapping flight, 



settling on flowers and twigs of bushes in exposed 

 positions. The wings are generally open during a short 

 rest. The hind-wing was probably shorn through by a 

 bird. 



20. Terias senegalenais (^ , Jan. 21, 1899. 



21. T. rerjularis ?, May 24, 1901.

26. Argynnis cybele , Aug. 2, 1897. Captured by E. B. Poulton, 



near North Lake, Hartlaud, Wis., U.S.A. A flower- 

 haunting fritillary very probably injured by a bird. 



27. B. severina ^, Feb. 15, 1899. 



28. Epinepliele jauira 9 , Aug. 15, 1900. Captured by A. H. 



Hamm, near Dawlish, S. Devon. Both hind-wings 

 probably shorn through by a bird ; lizards are not im- 

 portant enemies in this country. The straight line of the 

 injury also suggests a bird's beak. 



29. Melanaryia galathea, July 21, 1898. Captured by E. B. 



Poulton on the Stalden Rd., near Visp, Valais, about 

 2300 feet. The injury might well be by a lizard, but in 

 Europe they are not nearly such important enemies as 

 they become further south. 



30. Lijcxna tc«nf.s, July 26, 1898. Captured by E. B. Poulton 



at Creux de Genthod, N.VV. shore of the Lake of Geneva, 

 1230 feet. The character of the injury clearly suggests a 

 bird.
