Euryale varies much, but this is the common and typical form in which it 

 occurs. 



Two insects, male and female, were given to me (said to be from North Norway) 

 as types of the var. Adyte. These are different from anything taken by myself ; the 

 male has alar expanse 40 mm., and is a lighter brown than Ligea usually is, the red 

 marginal band is distinct in both upper and lower wings; and in the upper wing the 

 the two first ocelli are distinct from each other, and have faint white pupils, the 

 lower is blind, in the lower wing the band is continuous, or nearly so, and has three 

 dots without central pupils. On the inferior surface the ground-colour is reddish- 

 brown ; the marginal band in the upper wing being distinct, and not shaded into 

 the ground-colour ; all three eyes are pupillated ; in the lower wing the marginal 

 band is of a paler colour, and outlined by a well-marked white line ; in the band are 

 three ocelli, black, with red rings round them, and white centres. The female is 

 43 mm., and has four pupillated spots in the band of the fore-wing ; and in the lower 

 wing the red band is very marked and has only two black spots ; beneath the upper 

 wing has a distinct band with four pupillated spots ; in the under wing is also a 

 distinct band well outlined by a white line, and having three large black eyes with 

 white centres. Of course the description (of Euryale especially) will not apply to 

 every specimen, for the butterfly varies much; indeed, a common form of the female 

 where, on the inferior surface, the lower wings have a band of a light, tawny-ochre, 

 almost straw coloured, is not even mentioned. 



These two Erebia: (lappona and Ligea) are the only ErebicB taken by me in 

 Norway. 



Ohionohas Noma — taken by me on the Dovrefjeld, and mistaken 

 for G. Jutta, as before said. The specimens from Jerkin, as compared 

 with a pair of Lapland insects in my possession, differ in being much 

 less tawny in general colour, and in having the fulvous band in the 

 upper-wings much more markedly divided by the veins, also in wanting 

 the ocellus at the anal angle of the lower wing ; in other respects the 

 resemblance is complete. 



Of the genus Pararge it is not easy to speak ; but, firstly, the 

 specimen in question taken at Bergen shall be carefully described : — 

 It is a male with an alar expanse of 35 mm., and is the smallest of any species 

 of Pararge in my possession. The fore-wings are dark brown, and have a large 

 black eye with a white single pupil at their upper angle, enclosed in a deep fulvous 

 patch which forms a band, divided by the veins, but extending nearly the whole 

 breadth of the hind border, and parallel to it, along its posterior margin, the inferior- 

 wings are the same brown colour, with a similar deep fulvous patch, parallel to the 

 hind-margin, divided into distinct portions by the veins, two of these contain 

 moderately large ocelli with single white pupils, but the upper one is blind, the black 

 spot having no pupil. On the inferior surface this Bergen specimen has the upper 

 wings tawny, shaded with fuscous from the base for three-fourths of the wing ; the 

 posterior border is also fuscous, with a darker line down its centre ; the anterior or 

 basal fuscous shading being marked by three darker transverse lines across the dis- 

 coidal cell ; the ocellus is large with a single central white eye spot. The lower wings 

 are dull brown with narrow wavy lines ; beyond the centre they become lighter in 

 colour, save at the extreme margin which is bordered with a double dark line ; in 

 this lighter interspace are five eyelets formed by two concentric rings of brown,
