These are certainly not all the species which can emerge on the 

 Apuane Alps in the first period, that is in the period preceding the 

 summer pause. Many had certainly missed on account of the 

 excessive drought, and this I deduce from the fact that I only collected 

 a very few individuals of species which are generally common and 

 abundant such as Z. carniolica, C. hyale, P. rapae, A. crataegi, E. 

 jurtina, M. galathea, M. didyma. 



Amongst the Lepidoptera of Monte Sumbra I only found of note 

 the two specimens of A. thetis, ab. polonus, Z., mentioned by Dr. 

 Verity in the Ent. Rec, 1920, p. 140. 



The emergence of Lepidoptera ceased on June 26th and I continued 

 for some days my useless excursions up the top of Monte Sumbra in 

 search especially of P. apollo, but I only saw spoilt specimens of the 

 other species before named, not worth capture. 



On July 8th I went to Lucca to meet my wife and daughter on their 

 return from Calabria, and on the 10th of the same month we went to 

 live in the little house on Monte Sumbra waiting for the summer 

 species to emerge at the end of the pause. 



From July 10th to 14th we found a few individuals of A. coridon, 

 Poda, race apuanica, Vrty. ; P. icarus, Rott., race zelleri, Vrty., II gen. 

 aestivalis, Tutt; A. medon, Hufn., race pallidefulva, Vrty., II gen. 

 pallidefulva ; P. napi, race vulgaris, Vrty., II gen. napaeae, Esp. ; S. 

 fagi, Scop, (hermione, auct.), race not identified ; B. semele, L. (only 

 one male). 



After July 14th began the great emergence of A. coridon. All the 

 meadows were full of restless coridon. At sunset they assembled in 

 groups on the dried stems, and all around us we saw hundreds of 

 white banners which took flight only on being disturbed by our nets. 

 We could easily choose perfect specimens without useless slaughter
