dant in August. : 
Gonepteryx rhamni.—Common. 
ARGYNNID. 
Dryas paphia, Argynnis aglaia, and A. adippe.—Never as common 
as I have seen them in Hngland; the last named very large. 
Argynnis niobe var. eris.—Not common. 
Issoria lathonia.—Sixteen were counted near La Batiaz on May 
27th, 1912. 
Brenthis euphrosyne.—A very large form. 
Brenthis daphne.—Very common. 
Brenthis ino.—A single specimen taken on July 8th, 1911, in the 
damp meadow, otherwise I have not seen it nearer than St. Triphon.

Melitaea didyma and M. dictynna.—The most abundant of the

Melitaea deione var. berisalensis.—Taken low down on the track 
leading up to La Batiaz; a much handsomer insect than the typical

abundant. 
VANESSID®.

July.

What becomes of the imagines of V. io, A. urticae, and FH. polychloros ? 
I have seen large sallows in the New Forest stripped bare by thousands 
of H. polychloros larvee, but never more than three or four butterflies 
in a day during August, and only those because they were attracted to 
the moth sugar. I have only once seen A. wrticae common, on a large 
bed of flowering mint.
