THE LEPIDOPTEHA OF BEDFORD PARK. 145 



of Coenonympha tiphon var. philoxenas. Up a hill a little further, the 

 Erebias — FL ligea, nerine, aethiops and ab. violacea, were fairly plentiful. 

 To the south, the mountain called Forderbrand (3790f fc.), has a carriage- 

 road up to it, and is a famous place to get a view over the valley of the 

 Konigs-see. There was nothing to catch going up, but, once at the top, 

 it was not so bad. We caught some fine specimens of Erebia pronoe, 

 of very pronounced mauve or purple tint on the underside, in which 

 they differ from those I have caught in France, which have no purple, 

 but are plain grey. There were some Melit^as about, but all worn, 

 and there were no blues. I may say here that I found the blues very 

 badly represented all over the district ; there were very few species 

 to be found. The Argynnids and the Erebias were the only butter- 

 flies to be seen in any numbers anywhere. At Bechtesgaden, on July 

 26th and 27th, I captured the following species : Polyommatus corydon, 

 Leptosia sinapis ab. erysimi, Aryyimis aylaia, A. adippe, A. niohe, Melitaea 

 dictynna, Coenonympha tiphon var. plnloxenus, C. arcania, Erebia ligea, 

 E. nerine, E. aethiops and ab. violacea, Melitaea parthenie var. varia. 

 Whilst at Fordebrand, on July 28th, I recorded PampMla comma, 

 Adopaea flava, Hesperia alveas var. cirsii, Anjynnis adippe, A. niobe, 

 A. aglaia, BrentJiis amathnsia, Melitaea parthenie, M. athalia, Erebia 

 nerine, E. aethiops, E. pronoe, and FL liyea. On the 29th, we returned 

 to Innsbruck, and the following day we went to Fulpmess by electric 

 rail, a place some distance towards the Brenner Pass. Here we found 

 nothing much except Dryas paphia ab. valesina, Aryynnis niobe and 

 A. aylaia. We left for France on August 1st. 



The Lepidoptera of Bedford Park, Chiswick. 



By J. C. DOLLMAN, F.E.S. 

 The following list of macro-lepidoptera, taken between 1893 and 

 1902, in Bedford Park, Chiswick, may prove interesting to those

 the list, on the whole, of the sedentary species, appears to be a good 

 one. DiuRNi : Pieris brassicae, common ; P. rapae, common ; P.
