130 THE ENTOMOLOGIST. 



Joucou and Marsa, and as the road was on a gentle decline- 

 through the truly magnificent Gorge of the Eebenty, this day 

 stands out in the memory. (In 1921 we revisited this same 

 gorge, but it was a dull daj^ and we took next to nothing.) 



The next morning (August 17th) we walked south from Axat 

 for a few kilometres through the Gorge of St. George, and were 

 rewarded at its further end by another prolific bag in a small, 

 clearing by the riverside. Most of the species we had met with 

 on the previous day were again taken here, as well as some nicely 

 marked Melitaea piioebe and some large Agriades corydon. After- 

 spending a couple of hours on this delightful spot we returned 

 to Axat, and went on to Quillan through another fine gorge 

 (Pierre Lys), in which we saw a few butterflies and found a full- 

 fed larva of Papilio machaon, which duly produced an imago on 

 June 8th, 1921. 



This practically finished the entomological part of our trip 

 in 1920, for on the following days we walked along the valley 

 of the Aude through Esperaza Couiza and Alet to Limoux, and 

 thence to Carcassonne, where our interests were other than 

 entomological, though we saw many Whites in the Hautes Lices. 

 within the city walls. 



In 1921 we reversed the order of our trip. Starting at Car- 

 cassonne on August 6th, in the scorching sunshine, we went on 

 to Quillan, where we spent three weeks. 



On August 25th we left Quillan for Perpignan, and from 

 Perpignan we went to Banyuls-sur-Mer. On September 2nd w& 

 returned to Paris.
