taken by Dr. Chapman in South-Western France, including 

 Goneptcryx rhamni, Brcnthis dia, Pararge megcera, and Hippar- 

 chia semele, a male in which the black scaling rather than 

 the brown predominated, all from Guethary, July 6th. 

 Papilin machaon, Pamassins apollo, Apovia cvatcegi, in which 

 the outer margins were much clouded at the termination of 

 the nervures, and the nervures which close the cells in both 

 fore and hind wings similarly clouded. Argynnis aglaia, 

 Mclanargia galathea, var. procida, mostly males, two of which 

 were unusually large and of a yellow tinge. A small male of 

 Mclitcea didyma. A long series of Pararge mcrra, the males 

 very bright, with the row of submarginal blotches very 

 plainly outlined on the fore wings, and one specimen was 

 without the oblique dark line running to the inner angle 

 across the blotches, which were thus uniform in size and 

 shape from costa to inner margin. The females were 

 extremely brilliant with rich brown, but showing only slight 

 duplication of the eye spots, and only a slight tendency to 

 bipupillation of the apical eye spot. A specimen, supposed 

 to be Pararge hiera, taken with the previously mentioned 

 species, which were all from Gavarnie, July gth — 30th. 

 Argynnis adippe, A. aglaia, unusually dark males of Satyrus 

 alcyonc ; a male underside of A. paphia, having the usual 

 black spots on the fore wing almost suppressed ; Pararge 

 m&ra, and a specimen of Camonympha arcania, var. darwin- 

 iana, in which the white transverse band and the eye spots of 

 the underside of the hind wings showed through the brown 

 of the upper side : all from Cauterets, August 1st — 8th. Mr. 

 Turner also showed a series of Colias phicomone, taken in the 

 Engadine in August, and a very dark male of the same 

 species from Cauterets in the Pyrenees.
