Type form from Anzeindaz Glacier. ‘‘ Another locality in the 
Grindelwald district is on the shores of the little Bach-See 
(7428 ft.) on the higher slopes of the Faulhorn (8805ft.). It 
was not perhaps very abundant compared with the profusion of 
other ‘‘ blues” (Agriades coridon and Hirsutina damon) flying 
around and below Martenbuhl (5,157 ft.), 1 viii. 14. (There was 
snow above 7,000 ft.) Other blues noted but not so common 
were (worn) Polyommatus hylas, Aricia medon, worn P. icarus, 
Lycaena arion, Plebeius argus (argyrognomon), and Latiorina 
orbitulus.”  (.M.F.)

black, and the upperside with much black towards apex of fore- 
wing.”* Found, 8 viii. 01, in the valley of the Versoix near

going west to above meadow. 
16. Celastrina argiolus, L.—Brusio, 18 vii.-17 vii., female form with a 
broader black apex and a black margin on forewing and costa 
* IT do not know where Mr. Fison got this information ; I have never seen any 
blue females of P. aegon (argus) from Geneva, nor anywhere else except the 
English northern ‘‘ mosses”; on the other hand blue females of P. argus (argy- 
rognomon) are the rule there.—G.W. Since identified as P. argus (argyrognomon).
