  level 
  to 
  well 
  up 
  the 
  mountain 
  valleys, 
  and, 
  in 
  Austria, 
  from 
  the 
  low 
  

   levels 
  also 
  well 
  up 
  the 
  alpine 
  valleys. 
  It 
  occurs 
  freely 
  in 
  Heligoland. 
  

   At 
  Zwotzen-on-the-iLlster, 
  it 
  abounds, 
  in 
  some 
  years, 
  on 
  the 
  so-called 
  

   Lasur, 
  a 
  small 
  chalk-range, 
  e.g., 
  in 
  May, 
  1904, 
  which 
  was 
  a 
  very 
  dry 
  

   month, 
  and 
  the 
  grass 
  burnt 
  up, 
  thus 
  early, 
  and 
  in 
  what 
  is 
  usually 
  the 
  

   rainy-season 
  ; 
  later 
  in 
  tbe 
  year, 
  it 
  was 
  found 
  along 
  the 
  margins 
  of 
  fields 
  

   and 
  roads 
  by 
  Hecta 
  (DierofT). 
  It 
  often 
  occurs 
  also 
  at 
  a 
  considerable 
  

   elevation, 
  e.g., 
  Bruand 
  notes 
  it 
  as 
  occurring 
  in 
  the 
  high 
  mountains 
  of 
  

   the 
  Doubs 
  dept. 
  In 
  Dauphiny, 
  at 
  La 
  Grave, 
  the 
  imagines 
  were 
  

   apparently 
  disturbed 
  from 
  wild 
  rose-bushes 
  growing 
  on 
  a 
  bank 
  beside 
  

   the 
  road 
  just 
  below 
  the 
  inn, 
  in 
  a 
  most 
  exposed 
  situation, 
  and 
  at 
  an 
  

   elevation 
  of 
  at 
  least 
  5000 
  feet 
  ; 
  the 
  specimens 
  being 
  found 
  below 
  the 
  

   bushes 
  on 
  the 
  herbage, 
  or 
  feeding 
  at 
  yarrow 
  flowers. 
  In 
  Spain, 
  

   Chapman 
  found 
  it 
  at 
  Tragacete,
