108 THE ENTOMOLOGIST’S RECORD. 
Blastotere atmoriella, Bankes.—I have not yet taken the imago in 
this district, but have found traces of the larval borings at Kew. 
Cedestis farinatella, Dup.—Wimbledon; Richmond, 1910. The 
imago may be shaken out of Scotch pine. It is not difficult to find 
the larve in May; the whitened needles betray their presence.

The Upper Engadine in 1914. 
By Hy. J. TURNER, F.E.S. 
(Continued from page 65.) 
August lst early showed signs of a brilliant day, so we were up 
betimes for an hour or two of collecting before breakfast, as we intended 
later in the forenoon to gain if possible some definite knowledge of 
what was happening, of which portentous rumours had already reached 
us. The Suvretta road was again our early walk, and again most of 
the species seen on the morning after our arrival a week before were 
still in abundance, with some additions. A female of Chrysophanus 
hippothoé was taken of almost a uniform brown upperside, there being 
only a faint vestige of red on the disc, whilst the discoidals on the 
upper wings were big square black spots. A welcome addition was 
also a pair of Brenthis ino among a few somewhat small pine trees in 
and around an old quarry, at the extreme of the tree limit where there 
was very prolific, rough, flowery growth, apparently never eut, a spot 
which I always found to be much favoured by insects of most orders. 
Loweia dorilis was represented by a female somewhat large, dull in 
colour and worn. A male of Latiorina orbitulus, with a white ringed, 
staring discoidal on the forewings, was taken. Polyommatus eros males 
were increasing in numbers; later on it became absolutely abundant. 
Zygaena purpuralis (pilosellae) appeared from those seen to be of a small, 
obscurely marked, thinly scaled race. Odezia atrata put in an appear- 
ance, but nowhere did I at any time meet with it in any number. 
Zygaena achilleae was also scarce, or I did not hit its habitat, at any 
rate it only turned up as odd examples. An example of Phycis orna- 
tella was taken, and Aphelia aryentana was seen as white spots dotted 
here and there at rest. This was the first day of Pieris rapae; it 
seemed to be in thousands everywhere and of a good size. Of course 
everywhere Aryynnis niobe and A. aglaia were most obtrusive, but no 
striking aberration was met with in spite of a constant search. 
Turning left from the hotel door took us almost immediately into 
collecting ground, turning to the right took us into the village, now 
almost a town, with its shops and huge caravansaries. This morning 
we found the place transformed from its usual peaceful quiet into a 
place of bustling activity. Hverybody seemed on the moye, piles of 
luggage, serious faces, groups of visitors and groups of natives reading 
the public notices with which all available walls, etc., were covered. 
Our friends were due to go on to Innsbruck via Sargans and Feldkirk, 
and we went on to the station with them. Here was congestion of luggage 
and passengers. Still with all that before us neither we nor our friends 
realised the gravity of what was going on, thinking that the trouble 
was all far eastern. Little did our friends know the turmoil that they 
were entering by going into Austria. We subsequently heard that
