130 BRITISH BUTTERFLIES. 



Andalusia, he found the insect in a small forest of gigantic umbrella - 

 pines, in March, 1902. In France, in the Gironde, it haunts the 

 bushes of broom, etc., on the edge of pine- and oakwoods (Trimoulet), 

 in Berry and Auvergne, in fields where broom grows (Sand), in fields, 

 hedges, plantations, and small woods in the Doubs (Bruand), in the 

 open woodlands, and by hedgesides in the Alpes-Maritimes (Milliere), 

 by hedges and in the woodland glades and clearings in the Saone-et- 

 Loire (Constant) ; in the Vosges district it haunts the wooded slopes of the 

 Hohandsberg, the borders of the canal at Strasburg, the forest of Neuhoff, 

 and the St. Agathe woods, near Voipy (Cantener) ; in Brittany, it 

 prefers gardens, settling on currant bushes, hawthorn hedges, and bramble 

 thickets (Griffith). In the Channel Isles, it sometimes abounds on the 

 slopes of the Gouffre, in Guernsey, which are, at the time of its appear- 

 ance, covered with flowering gorse and dog-daisies (Hodges). In 

 Germany, its habitats are much as in Britain ; it occurs in the plain, 

 hilly, mountain, and subalpine regions, haunting the outskirts of 

 woods, among bushes, by hedgerows, etc. In East and West Prussia, it 

 is found about woods of deciduous trees ; whilst in Pomerania, as 

 in the British Isles, it is abundant on the mosses, e.g., the mosses at 

 Kieshof, Potthagen, etc. ; near Liibeck, it specially favours pinewoods 

 and pastures ; in Hanover, it occurs in woods, and, in the Ehine 

 Provinces, deciduous woods again are specially noted, particularly glades 

 and clearings exposed to the sun, whilst similar spots are recorded for 

 Waldeck and Hesse, Fuchs adding that it also haunts meadows on the 

 outskirts of woods, whilst Glaser mentions plantations of young trees, 

 particularly those of young pines, whilst Koch says they prefer the 

 clearings and little used ridings of the woods in the Taunus, etc. In 

 Anhalt, woodland glades are again noticed, whilst in Posen the hedges 

 bordering young plantations of pines are mentioned. In the Lahr 

 district, is is reported to be confined almost entirely to the clearings 

 of the Black Forest and its immediate outskirts. In the Trebnitz 

 mountains, the slopes covered with birch bushes are a favourite haunt, 

 whilst woods are given for Upper Lusatia, the kingdom of Saxony, 

 Bavaria, etc. In Austria, the localities are similar — woodland groves, 

 plantations of young trees, and gardens, are given for Bohemia, and the 

 whole woodland district of Moravia, the glades of woods for Lower Austria, 

 and the bushes, hedgerows, and clearings in woods from the lowest val- 

 leys to the subalpine region are mentioned for Salzburg ; whilst Zeller 

 notes that it was abundant in the pinewood of Coritenza, in Carinthia ; 

 and, in the Tyrol, Weiler and Heller mention it as abundant in the 

 valleys, and occurring singly up to the alpine pastures at 7500ft. In 

 Bulgaria, it is recorded by Mrs. Nicholl from the rough dry slopes of 

 the Vitoch, near Sofia, and, also, as occurring in a little rough valley 

 among the vineyards in Slivno. In Syria, she says that it is common to 

 above 6000ft. on the Lebanon, Antilebanon, and Mount Hermon ranges, 

 also on the Djebel Chekif, above Bloudan. In the Baltic Provinces, 

 Nolcken says that it is common in woods, on heaths, and turf moors ; 

 whilst, in the Kasan district, Kroulikowsky reports that it is generally 

 found along paths or by the edges of woods near ponds, or in open 

 spaces in woods, especially in pinewoods and woods of deciduous trees; 

 whilst it is also met with less frequently in fields and gardens, and 

 appears never to be found in the open country ; and Bartel states 

 that it prefers the edges of woods in the southern Ural. Elwes records
