  At 
  La 
  Grave, 
  in 
  the 
  heart 
  of 
  the 
  Dauphiny 
  

   Alps, 
  it 
  occurred 
  on 
  the 
  shaly 
  banks 
  where 
  flowers 
  were 
  fairly 
  

   abundant, 
  near 
  the 
  village, 
  as 
  well 
  as 
  right 
  up 
  to 
  the 
  mountain- 
  

   pastures 
  by 
  the 
  Meije 
  glacier. 
  A 
  single 
  example 
  was 
  also 
  found 
  on 
  the 
  

   flower-covered 
  bankside 
  of 
  a 
  field, 
  sheltered 
  above 
  by 
  a 
  pine-wood 
  in 
  

   ( 
  arly 
  August, 
  1906, 
  at 
  Beauvezer, 
  in 
  the 
  Basses-Alpes. 
  Frey 
  observes 
  

   that, 
  in 
  Switzerland, 
  it 
  flies 
  in 
  dry 
  forest-meadows, 
  and 
  in 
  open 
  spaces 
  

   or 
  clearings 
  in 
  the 
  forests, 
  sometimes 
  in 
  company 
  with 
  0. 
  ericetorum. 
  

   Caradja 
  also 
  reports 
  it 
  as 
  frequenting 
  meadows 
  in 
  Koumania, 
  and 
  

   Wallengren 
  observes 
  that, 
  in 
  the 
  southern 
  and 
  central 
  part 
  of 
  Sweden, 
  

   it 
  is 
  the 
  most 
  common 
  species 
  of 
  the 
  family, 
  being 
  found 
  almost 
  every- 
  

   where 
  ; 
  Hieracium 
  pilosella 
  grows 
  scarcer, 
  however, 
  in 
  Lapland, 
  but 
  

   the 
  moth 
  has 
  been 
  found 
  as 
  far 
  north 
  as 
  Hollola, 
  whence 
  Zetterstedt 
  

   obtained 
  it 
  ; 
  it 
  prefers 
  dry 
  sunny 
  places 
  protected 
  from 
  winds, 
  and 
  

   pine-forests 
  particularly 
  are 
  its 
  favourite 
  haunts. 
  Snellen 
  observes 
  

   that 
  it 
  occurs 
  throughout 
  the 
  whole 
  of 
  the 
  Netherlands, 
  in 
  sandy 
  

   localities, 
  and 
  is 
  often 
  common. 
  In 
  Germany, 
  it 
  flies 
  everywhere 
  in 
  

   the 
  neighbourhood 
  of 
  Stettin, 
  where 
  Hieracium 
  pilosella 
  grows 
  ; 
  Sor- 
  

   hagen 
  says 
  that, 
  in 
  Friedland, 
  Stettin, 
  and 
  Hamburg, 
  it 
  flies 
  among 
  

   Hieracium 
  pilosella 
  in 
  dry 
  woodland-meadows, 
  and 
  in 
  open 
  spaces 
  in 
  

   woods 
  ; 
  Stollwerck 
  observes 
  that, 
  in 
  June 
  and 
  July, 
  1855 
  and 
  1856, 
  

   the 
  species 
  was 
  very 
  common 
  along 
  the 
  whole 
  eastern 
  slope 
  of 
  the 
  

   Kleiner 
  Hees, 
  near 
  Uerdingen, 
  whilst 
  the 
  dry 
  years 
  1857 
  and 
  1858 
  

   only 
  yielded 
  the 
  species 
  very 
  sparingly.
