BRITISH BUTTERFLIES. 



places in August (Gillmer). In Austria also it occurs everywhere in 

 the meadows of Bohemia and Moravia, whilst in Lower Austria, it 

 abounds in the plains, and extends up the mountains into the high 

 alpine meadows at Hocheck (Fritsch) ; similarly, in Salzburg, it 

 extends from the plains even above the region of alpine meadows, 

 occurring in the lowlands almost everywhere — in warm meadows, in 

 clearings on the outskirts of woods, in the rich flowery meadows, being 

 especially abundant on the Schalimoose near Salzburg (Richter). In 

 the Tyrol, it extends from the plains to the upper alpine region at 

 7000ft. (Hinterwaldner), and at Innsbruck, from the level of the town 

 to the region of the alpine pastures on the surrounding mountains 

 (Weiler). We ourselves found it at an elevation of above 6000ft. at 

 Cogne, in the Graian Alps, and Chapman on the railway embankments 

 at Saeterstoen in Scandinavia. These habitats, when compared w T ith 

 the lovely slopes above Lake Maggiore and our own home woodland 

 drives in Chattenden, offer sufficient variety in the habitat of a most 

 interesting little species.
