NOTES AND OBSERVATIONS. 



Argynnis euphrosyne, var. — I received from a correspondent a very 

 fine variety of this species, taken by him in the New Forest this season. 

 It somewhat resembled that figured in Entom. xxvii. p. 1, fig. 1 ; but in 

 my specimen the black area of hind wings is rather more extended, and 

 the discoidal spots are larger, one on each wing being quite a blotch. 

 The insect is a male in first-class condition, and was sent to me unset 

 soon after capture. — E. Sabine ; Erith. 



Epinephele jurtina ab. anommata (Verity). — I have a specimen of 

 Epinephele jurtina [janUa), male, which agrees with the form described 

 by Mr. Verity [ante, p. 56) as a new aberration. I captured the speci- 

 men near Brockenhurst on June 23rd, 1904. The usual apical pupilled 

 spot is abseut from the fore wings, and there is only a slight indication 

 of the tawny patch usually present. On the under side of the hind wing 

 there are only minute black specks in place of the usual spots. — Philip 

 J. Barraud ; Bushey Heath. 



Spring Dragonflies from the South of France. — I have received 

 from Dr. T. A. Chapman a small collection of dragonflies made by him 

 in the spring, in the South of France. From Hyeres (March 20th till 

 April 17th) there are one female Brachytron pratense ; one female 

 Pijrrhosoma nymphnla ; seven IscJmura elegans, one male only ; and 

 eighteen Sympycnafusca, five males and thirteen females. All except 

 the last are British species, which in early seasons do not appear with 

 us till the latter part of April, seldom so early ; in fact, I have no 

 record of I. elegans till May 17th. At Draguignan, from May 3rd till 

 May 8th were taken one male GompJms simillimus ; three Libellula de- 

 pj-essa, one teneral male and two females ; and one female Cordulegaster
