the latter date, no doubt a second-brood. The same observer also notes 



the capture of imagines on July 29th, 1892, on the marshes round 



the great springs of Beinette in the Certosa di Pesio district, also, one 



suspects, a second brood. Mrs. Nicholl found the specimens of the first 



brood going over in the Save Valley on June 18th, 1898, at Slavisch 



Brod, and the second brood was taken during the last few days in July 



at Serajevo, not more than half as large as those taken in the Save 



Valley a month or six weeks earlier. She also took the species on June 



8th, 1899, in the Struma Valley, in Bulgaria, and, again, a series in 



the marshy Save Valley in Bosnia, towards the end of June, 1901, 



evidently also of the first brood, but she says (Ent. liec, xi., p. 4) that 



the species may be taken pretty nearly all through the summer at 



various dates, according to the elevation, in every wet valley in North 



Bosnia, up to a height of about 2000 feet (or more), whilst the second 



brood appears in the lowlands almost before the first brood is over in 



the hill country, those taken in the mountains being a great deal 



smaller than the first brood in the Save marshes, e.g., it occurred in 



good condition at Jajce from June 25th to July 3rd, 1898, in the wet 



mountain meadows. Eiwes notes it also at Jajce, on July 26th, 1901 ; 



at Jezero, on June 25th-26th, 1901; at Serajevo, Jane 18th, 1899; at 



Slavonisch Brod, June 11th, 1901 ; and Dervent, June 12th, 1901. Miss 



Fountaine found it worn near Brotissa at the end of August, and in 



early September 1903, certainly a second brood. Nicholson took it in 



June, 1892, finding it from June 9th-llth, near Budapest, viz., in 



meadows at Budafok, about five or six miles below Budapest, and 



on the Adlersberg hill to the south of Buda, on June 14th, whilst, 



from ova obtained by a $ taken on the 11th, he reared three imagines 



on his return to England, a fine £ on August 9th, a small $■ on 



the 14th, and another fine $ on the 17th, so that here the species is 



evidently double-brooded. Biihl notes it as occurring at the end of 



May and in July at Budapest. Miss Fountaine took the species in the 



forest of Szaar, on June 5th, 1898, also a very small form commonly 



round Kavaran Szakul, in the third week of July ; as well as near the 



Kammerwald, in early August, where most of the specimens were much 



larger, one would suppose a most unusual occurrence. Fleck says that the 



species is abundant in Eoumania, the first brood flying in June, the 



second brood from about August 17th, on into October. Of the German 



localities the following may' be noted : — In the beginning of August on 



the moorland marshes of East Prussia (Speiser) ; at the end of June, 



and in early July, in the marshes of the Oder, the 2 s in the Stepenitz 



district up to the end of July (Hering) ; a newly-emerged $ near Stral- 



sundon Junel5th,1905 (Heckel); endof June until August, the $ sabout 



a fortnight later than the $ s, in the Berlin district (Bartel and Herz); 



(Blachier has specimens taken here June 30th, 1901, by Bartel) ; end of 



June and throughout July, in Silesia (Doring) ; end of May and June, 



in Baden (Meess and Spuler) ; June 14th, 1901, going over, near 



Neu Breisach, in Baden (Lowe) ; a ? July 12th, 1859, near Worms 



(Glaser) ; in June, and again in August and September, in Alsace 



(Peyerimhoff). Gillmer doubts it being double-brooded in Alsace, 



but Giard says that it is double-brooded in the Somme district, the 



examples of the first brood large, and approaching dispar, the second 



brood smaller, as at Bordeaux ; Bentall took it in the commencement 



of August, in the Jura, near Arlay. Biihl says that it occurs in July
