lowlands, which appears to last from April-June in different seasons ; 

 one suspects that it is impossible for a second -brood to occur at 

 high elevations in the central Alps, so many localities in which are 

 .recorded in our distribution lists. In Italy, it is double-brooded 

 throughout, occurring in May-June and again from July to September 

 in Tuscany (Verity); May and in August- September in Lombardy 

 (Turati); June (Rowland- Brown) and again in August at Susa 

 (Tutt); June, and again in August at Certosa di Pesio, in Piedmont 

 (Norris). In Portugal it is certainly double-brooded, the early brood 

 being over in May at Aiferce (Eaton), occurring in May at Portas de 

 Rodao, and June in the Setubal district (d'Azevedo), although we have 

 no records of the later brood. In Spain, it occurs abundantly in two 

 broods in Asturias, in May-June and September-October (Seebold), in 

 Albarracin (Korb), and in the Teruel district (Cuni-y-Martorell), April- 

 May and July, at San Roque (Walker), whilst, in its extreme southern 

 locality, in Algeria, it occurs in May and again in September and Octo- 

 ber (Oberthur). In Germany, even in its most northerly localities, 

 it is double-brooded, occurring in East and West Prussia, Thuringia, 

 Province of Saxony, Bavaria, Baden, in May and June, and again in 

 August ; in Brandenburg in May- June and July-August; in the Rhine 

 Provinces, in May-June and August-September; in Hesse, in May- 

 June and end of July- August ; in Waldeck, end of May-early July and 

 early August-end of September (and occasionally beginning of October); 

 in Silesia, mid-May-June and end of July-September, etc. In Austria 

 it is similarly double-brooded, e.g., in Bohemia and Croatia in May- 

 June and July-September ; in Moravia and Carinthia, in May-June 

 and July-October ; in Lower Austria, in May-June and August- 

 September; in Salzburg, May- June and August-October ; in Tirol, in 

 May and July-August ; in June and again in August in Galicia 

 (Nowicki). In Bulgaria, in May- June and July-October; in June and 

 August-October, in Roumania (Fleck). In its more eastern localities, 

 e.g., Asia Minor, it occurs in early April-May, and again in July 

 and August, but, in the mountains, the first brood is often 

 delayed till June, although Bethune-Baker gives May and July for the 

 Taurus mountains. The following are the actual dates we have noted
