THE ENTOMOLOGIST S RECORD. 



" It would be interesting to give Taygetus a further visit and add detail 

 to Holtz's mere catalogue (which contains Turania panagaea v. 

 taygetica, Reb., ' a form of L. eros,' which I take to be the greenish 

 eros like mountain candalus of Lebanon). Thessaly is terra incognita — 

 so is Olympia and its region. We know little indeed of Mt. Olympus, 

 save that Polyommatus (Agriades) thetis occurs there and nothing of the 

 Pindus. But if anyone wishes to visit Greece I would recommend 

 them to give Pindus and Olympus a miss for the present. There are 

 still some armed deserters knocking about there. The rest of the- 

 country is safe enough.
