of them have an incipient dark scaUng connectitig the anal 

 spot on the fore-wing with the extended apical markings, 

 an aberration I have not noted in series received from 

 elsewhere. 



Pontia chloridice Hb. 



" Major P. P. Graves informs me that this species was 

 taken in Cyprus by Mr. Marsden."— J.A.S.B., 1916. (Not 

 recorded by Led.) 



" In 1918 for the first time, I took a few examples near 

 Platres at which locality it was once before recorded many 

 years ago."— G.F.W., 1918. 



These few specimens were sent to me, and this year 

 (1919) another came, taken on the plains near Nicosia. 

 They are typical except that the last specimen has the 

 underside of the hhid-wing considerably paler ; it is a female 

 taken on May 18th, the others were taken on July 7th. 

 Probably the two broods are represented, normally the 

 spring brood has the darker green underside. The speci- 

 mens are the worse for wear, and the suggestion is that, 

 they are iiumigrants from the mainland. 



Anthocharis crameri Btlr. (belia auct.) [group ausonia 

 Hb. ; race taurica Rob.]. 



" Led. recorded the form misonia. I obtained what was 

 identified at the Brit. Mus. as belia. The Report of the 

 Cyprus N.H. Soc, 1912-13, records the capture of belia 

 var, taurica." — J.A.S.B., 1916. 



" Much lighter below than my series from S. France, but 

 apparently flying about the same time (March). Six 

 specimens." — A.E.G., 1915. 



" My latest specimen of belia is April 10th. Does it fly 

 later? There seems to be a curious overlapping of belia 

 and var. taurica. The latter is, of course, summer brood, 

 but I have one specimen March 9th. In many respects it 

 resembles tavrica, but I thiidv it must be an aberrant 

 specimen of belia. Your belia, is crameri{a) of Butler as 

 far as I can make out at present."— A.E.G., 1916. 



" Emerges in February and flies until the end of March, 

 when its place is almost immediately taken by the sunmier 

 form, in fact I have taken old belia and fresh var. taurica 

 together; there seems to be a curious overlapping. A. 

 belia is found in small numbers all over the plains in barley 

 lields where the nuistard plant grows; v. taurica is much
