It will be noticed, if looking over the last six genera mentioned, 
that in the case of every Satyrid species noted, the ? carries. Also of 
all previous records, all except two, give this result. It is, therefore, 
of particular interest to enquire into those two cases. The first is a 
note of the late Mr. Tutt’s, quoted by Mr. Colthrup (nt. Rec., vol. xxix. 
p- 17), which states that the g of M. galathea always carries the 2. 
If this is so, then Melanaryia is a third genus in which we find both 
sexes carrying. In view, however, of the considerable amount of data 
available on Satyrid species, I cannot help wondering if this record 
is the result of a lapsus calamt; ov perhaps a printer’s error. Possibly 
some of Mr. Tutt’s personal friends could throw some light on the 
matter. 
The second instance was a casual statement in the course of other 
remarks by Dr. Verity (Wnt. Rec. 1919, p. 68), that the g S. circe 
carried the @. I wish Dr. Verity would let us know if this is the 
result of personal observation, or merely a quotation ; if the latter, was 
the source one to be relied on? In this case should Dr. Verity 
confirm the record, not having any other data of the habits of this 
species, we must await further observations to ascertain if both sexes 
ean carry in the genus Satyrus, or only the g. This last seems most 
improbable, but of course it may be so; it is even possible that a small 
section composed of S. circe and those species most closely connected 
to it, may have developed this habit independently of the other species. 
Any one who has read this paper must have noticed how 
fragmentary our knowledge of these flying-habits is, and how much 
further records are to be desired. ‘To obtain such records is, however,
