so. But I have no more species to add to my previous lists of 

 the Brenner (cp. Entom. vol. xxxvii. pp. 225-226, and Ent. Eec. 

 vol. xiii. pp. 96-97), to which I bade a reluctant farewell on the 

 28th, having endured certainly as bad a run of luck in the way 

 of weather as I ever encountered on my Continental travels with 

 a net.

Bosnia. 

 On the morning of June 19th I met by appointment at 

 Sarajevo, Mr. P. J. Barraud, of Bushey Heath, who had come 

 through from Vienna in the night, and the greater part of the 

 time devoted to collecting in Bosnia was spent in his company. 

 By the kindness of a friend, whose acquaintance I had made in 

 Montenegro, we were able to explore, in his motor-car, the in- 

 teresting and little visited country which lies on the borders of 

 Servia, Montenegro, and Turkey 1 This is not the place to dwell 

 upon the enjoyments of motoring in the Balkans, or to relate 

 the adventures which befel us. Our headquarters, after leaving 

 the capital, was Gorazda, on the Drina, a convenient centre with 

 a fairly decent inn. The ride from Sarajevo to Gorazda, over 

 a mountain pass 4000 ft. above sea-level, was an experience 

 never to be forgotten. At Gorazda I became friendly with an 

 Austrian gentleman, whose business took him to many of the 

 towns and villages in the neighbourhood, and he kindly invited 

 me to go with him on one of his journeys, offering me a seat in 

 his carriage. So, while the car made a successful attempt to 

 get across the Turkish frontier, I drove with Herr Folje to a 

 place called Cajnica, most beautifully situated at the foot of a 

 fir-covered hill. We lunched together at the hotel, and, while 

 my friend was doing his business, I took my net and wandered 

 up the shady mountain-side. There was a Turkish cemetery 

 at its foot, where the grass was long and uncut, and I ventured 

 to climb the fence to see what could be caught. The reward 

 was found in a useful series of Argynnis amathusia, fresh from 

 the chrysalis, which were flying, in company with Melitcea aurelia, 

 among the graves. Much was not to be expected under the trees 

 on the hillside, but I found a clearing where apparently it was 

 intended some day to erect a pavilion, and here upon the wild 

 flowers I took a specimen of M. trivia which was flying with 

 M. didyma, Plebeius argus, Polyommatue icarus, Pararge mcera, 

 and other common insects such as L. sinapis, P. napi,
