Such butterflies as fell under my observation in the Hast 
may conveniently be divided into three different types, for 
the better distinction and comprehension of the same; 
namely :— 
1. English. 
2. Mediterranean littoral. 
3. Purely Eastern. 
I propose to term such species “ Typical British Butterflies ” 
as may be ordinarily seen in the course of a summer day’s 
walk, and are ordinarily common and abundant at home, and 
not all the British kinds, including our rarer and more local, 
occurring in the Hast. For example :— 
1. P. Brassicee, Alexandretta, April; Corfu, June. 
2. P. Rape, Philadelphia, May. 
3. A. Cardamines, Ephesus, May ; near Athens, June. 
near Jaffa, April 10; Shtora, April 18; 
Philadelphia, May 10; Corfu, June ; 
and very generally distributed all along 
the Mediterranean. 
A. C. Edusa 
5. S. Janira, Corfu, June; Athens, June. 
6. P. Alexis, Ephesus, May ; Corfu, June. 
7. C. Phleas, Ephesus, May. 
8. V. Urtice, probably Corfu, June. 
9. V. Cardui, road to Marathon, ditto to Laurium, June. 
10. V. Atalanta, Corfu, June; Athens, May. 
11. G. Rhamni, near Alexandretta, April; Belgrade, May. 
12. S. Megeera, Corfu, June. 
13. C. Pamphilus, Belgrade, May. 
14. P. Linea, Acropolis, Athens, May. 
15. P. Sylvanus, road to Marathon, June. 
16. P. Machaon, Ephesus, May. 
17. A. Crateegi, Ephesus, May ; Deceleia, June. 
18. L. Sinapis, Corfu, June. 
19. 8S. Semele, Hleusis, May ; Lycabettus. 
20. A. Galatea, Acropolis, May ; Lycabettus. 
21. M. Cinxia, Belgrade, May. 
22. 'T. W. album, Deceleia, June. 
23. T’. Rubi, Deceleia, June. 
24, A. Lathonia, May. 
Between Jerusalem and Jericho, April 4; 
Jordan, April 5; 
Philadelphia, May 10; 
Colonos and Ceramcicus, Athens, June. 
Twenty-five out of our total number of sixty-six British 
butterfiies are here set down as coming under my own obser-
