Limenitis popiili, Linn. — Christiansand, one example seen. 



Vaneasa c-album, Linn. — Fladmark, Romsdal, one specimen seen. V. urticce, 

 Linn.— Seen commonly at very many places, including the summit of Sn8eh8etten,at 

 an elevation of about 7600 feet. 



Melitaa Athalia, Rott. — Lilleliammer, Jerkin. 



Argynnis Euphrosyne, Linn. — Domaas, Lillehammer. A. Selene, Schiff. — 

 Lillebammer, very common. A. Niohe, Linn. — Domaas ; this species occurred in 

 the greatest profusion in a meadow near the river, and half a dozen specimens could 

 be captured in one sweep of the net. All but three or four of the large number of 

 examples caught were the variety eris, Meig. A. Ino, Eott. — Lillehammer ; common 

 on the hill side near the Mesna waterfall. A. Aglaia, Linn. — Lillehammer, 

 Jerkin, &c., common. A. Pa/e*, Schiff. — Domaas, Jerkin. This exceedingly variable 

 insect is common above Domaas near the limit of the pine-region, and still more 

 abundant in the higher ground at Jerkin ; an example of the lowland form, Arsi- 

 lache, Esp., was captured at Lillehammer. A. Pales is one of the most interesting, 

 and at the same time one of the commonest, butterflies of the Dovrefjeld. It has 

 an exceedingly rapid jerky flight. 



Erebia Ligea, Linn. — Common in the Dovrefjeld (Jerkin, Kongsvold, &c.) ; also 

 seen or caught in the lower ground at many different places, Lillehammer, 

 Holaker, &c. E. lappona, Esp. — Dovrefjeld, Jerkin ; in the same localities as E. 

 Ligea, but much more rarely. 



Pararge Hiera, Fabr. — Lillehammer ; one example caught, others seen. 



Epinephele hyperanthus, Linn. — Lillehammer. 



Syrichthus serratulae, Ramb. — Domaas, Stueflaaten ; one example from each 

 locality ; these seem to approach S. alveus, Hiibn., very closely, but are, according 

 to Schoyen, more correctly referred to S. serratulce. 



Zygcena exulans, Hoch. — Common above Domaas, and also in the Dovrefjeld at 

 Jei'kin. I also found an example in the snow on the summit of Sneehsetten. This 

 is, no doubt, the species of Zygcena " seen " by Dr. Jordan ; it is a well-known 

 Dovrefjeld insect. 



Procris statices, Linn., v. Geryon, Hiibn. — Lillehammer. 



Anarta melaleuca, Thunb. — JerkiiT. 



Psodos coraoina, Esp. — Jerkin ; common, in open rocky places. 



Pygmcena fusca, Thunb. — Jerkin ; abundant, in company with Psodos coracina ; 

 males only noticed. 



Gnophos sordaria, Thunb. — Domaas ; also seen commonly at Jerkin and else- 

 where on the wing towards evening. 



Hercyna Schrankiana, Hoch. — Jerkin ; one example. This insect resembles 

 Psodos and Pygmcena, and was found in company with them. 



Catasta auriciliella, Hiibn. — Domaas ; one example.
