160 BRITISH BUTTERFLIES. 



around Chateaudun, and we took it in Fontainebleau Forest in August, 

 1899, £ s only. Other French localities are — Eure — Pont de l'Arche, 2 , 

 very rare; at Lery (Dupont); Eure-et-Loir — le-Mee, Auneau, etc. 

 (Guenee); Haute-Garonne (Caradja); Indre — Nohant (Sand); Loir-et- 

 Cher — between Nonan-sur-Loire, and Blois (Moore), forest of Blois, 

 very rare, May (Chevillon); Maine-et-Loire — rather rare (Delahaye); 

 Nord — common with the type (Paux); Seine — near Paris (Berce); 

 Saone-et-Loire — with the type. (Andre) ; Var — Hyeres (Rowland- 

 Brown); Vienne — Chatellerault, and on to Vivonne (Moore) We also 

 found the form commonly, particularly among the $ s, in Piedmont at 

 Pre St. Didier, Courmayeur (August 13th, 1898), Susa (August, 

 1897), and Chatillon (August 19th, 1905), whilst Verity reports 

 it as occurring on the Lucca coast, and says that it is scarce in the 

 Vallombrosa ; a $ in the British Museum coll. is labelled " Foligno 

 (Zeller)," another, "Florence" (Elwes)," and there is also a 2 from 

 Oulx (Godman and Salvin). Favre says that it only occurs singly 

 with the type in Valais — at Aigle, Martigny, Fully, Evolene, Sierre, 

 near Visp, Zermatt, Naters, Berisal,.Simplon, etc., but we found $ s of 

 this form commonly between Vex and Useigne on August 13th, 1903, 

 and Wheeler reported it, in 1898, in the gorge of Veraye, behind Veytaux, 

 as commoner than the type, although generally, in Switzerland, the 

 form seems to be comparatively rare, as Frey also notes for Zurich, 

 Basle, etc. We took a 2 at Stalden, August 13th, 1909, and Poulton 

 has another captured between Visp and Stalden, July 22nd, 1898, but 

 we took $ s only at Basle, July 2brd, 1904, Evolene, August 4th-llth, 

 1899, in the Via Mala, August 23rd, 1909, and Santa Maria in the Mun- 

 sterthal, August 14th, 1908 ; it is further recorded from San Stefano, 

 in Ticino, May 22nd, 1894 (Knecht). A $ in the British Museum coll. 

 is labelled " Tinzolo, 5000ft. (Elwes)," and a $ from the Valais 

 (Anderegg). In Spain, generally, it is reported as being rare, e.g., in 

 the Cerro de la Carbonera (Zapater), Puerto de la Losillo (Korb), 

 Gibraltar (J. J. Walker), and there is one in the Hope Museum, Oxford, 

 taken at Barcelona. T. B. Fletcher notes (in litt.) that he captured 

 an example of icarinus $ , April 20th, 1901, the only specimen seen 

 at Corfu ; another (out of twelve examples examined) on June 3rd, 

 1901, at Suda Bay, Crete, another J , June 25th, 1902, at Larnaka, 

 in Cyprus (when seven typical $ s and 2 s were also taken), whilst, on 

 July 10th, 1902, in Corfu, where the species was abundant, a large 

 proportion of the examples seemed to be of this form. In Scandinavia 

 it usually only occurs rarely, e.</., Bodo (Nicholson), Abisko (Rowland- 

 Brown), etc. ; but Schilde notes (Knt. Nach., x., pp. 308-369) that, in 

 June, 1879, at Bodo, ten per cent, were of tbe icarinus form, an 

 apparently very unusual percentage. In Belgium it occurs, but rarely, 

 with the type, e.g., at Theux, etc. (Lambillion). It also occurs rarely 

 with the type throughout Germany and Austria, e.g., Baden — Frei- 

 burg, W'einheim ; Wurttemburg — Gotha ; Anhalt — Schwerin ; Rhine 

 Provinces — Elberfeld, etc. In Hungary, Aigner records it rarely 

 from Budapest, Pozsony, Poprad, Golniczbanya, Eperjes, Nagyszeben, 

 and Lipik. In the Tirol we have taken it in various places, e.g., 

 Mendel, July 27th, 1898, in the Sarnthal, August 7th, 1909, Neu 

 Spondinig, August 12th, 1909, and a $ from Vienna (Elwes) is in 

 the British Museum coll., etc. In the Baltic Provinces, Nolcken
