The species which had most felt the adverse season were those of 

 the Lycaenidi tribe : S. baton, A. thetis, P. icarus, A. viedon, 

 P. aryus, P. idas, E. alcetas, Ft. telicanus, L. boeticus emerged in 

 very small numbers, and the individuals were very small, some 

 having a wing expansion of only a quarter of the normal size. 



We only took one spoilt specimen of A. coridon which had no 

 doubt come from the overhanging summit of Pratofiorito where the 

 species is common. The A. coridon is never found in peninsular Italy 

 below 2000ft. ; only A. arragonensis is found in the plain, but in the 

 Pratofiorito mountain, as also in the Apuane Alps, tbe A. arragonensis 

 has never been found, nor has A. thersites. 



In the H. armoricanus and H. onopordi the colouring of tbe under- 

 side is intensely fulvous ; these are amongst the most characteristic of 

 the fulvoinspersa and fulcotincta of Verity. 



At the end of August all the emergences ceased in the valley of 

 Camaione. In the neighbouring valleys, too much exposed to the 

 solar rays, there was absolutely nothing. It was notable that in 1915 

 the valley of the Fegana stream was found full of A. coridon, race 

 superapennina, and of individuals of a beautiful race of P. Idas, whilst 

 this year I went to it three times and covered about 90 miles on a 

 bicycle without seeing any Lepidoptera either in the valley of the 

 Fegana, or in the whole journey on the roads covered with dust which 

 smothered all vegetation. 



Besides the Rhopalocera several tardy specimens of Z. stoechadis 

 were found in the valley of Camaione. 



On August 27th I returned to Florence to see if the summer pause 

 had come to an end in the Pian di Mugnone, but no insect was flying 

 in the country burnt up by the heat and drought. My family 

 preferred, therefore, to remain at Bagm di Lucca. 



In the second half of the month of July, my friend, Lieutenant
