AUGIADES SYLVANUS. 149 



places on the outskirts of woods, lanes in wooded districts, rough 

 bushy places on open downs, undercliffs on the coast, and flowery 

 meadows near lanes, are among the most favoured haunts of this 

 species. Harris, in 1778, noticed that it loved the neighbourhood of 

 woods, and Lewin added downs to its haunts. Grassy places in 

 woods, old pastures, the edges of downs in Bucks., etc. (Rothschild), 

 near woods and settling preferably on bramble and bracken at Cran- 

 brook (Marshall), by dusty roadsides and in swampy land near 

 Penzance (Daws), on the saltmarshes at Cliffe (Bower), in a chalkpit 

 at Boxhill (Prout), common in woods and lanes in Chatham district 

 (Walker), in woods and on bushy hillsides at Hereford (Bowell), on 

 grassy slopes near the sea in Wigtownshire (Gordon), the coast sand- 

 hills at Llandudno (Harding), in meadows and woods near Carlisle 

 (Day), but common on Skiddaw and other mountains among bracken 

 (Beadle), etc. In lowland districts abroad its localities are similar, 

 open spaces in woods at Wiesbaden, pastures and glades in Roumania, 

 in the park-like King's gardens in Corfu, and the sandbanks of 

 Malamocco at the mouth of the Venice lagoon (de la Garde), etc., 

 but among the mountains of the central Alps it is to be found in 

 all sorts of situations — of which the lucerne fields at Susa, Gresy-sur- 

 Aix and Chavoire, the wild flower wilderness at the foot of the Grande 

 Gorge, past Veyrier, the thistle-thickets at Pre St. Didier, the flowery 

 upland pastures of Larche, the Val Veni, and the summit of the 

 Faucille, the mountain pathsides from Evolene to Useigne, from 

 Stalden to Saas- Grand, from Courmayeur to the foot of the Brenva 

 Glacier, and the zigzags below Crissolo occur to us.
