much worn by June 21st, on the banks of the Ehine, near Lahr. 

 Cantener gives the first fortnight of June as the usual time for its appear- 

 ance in Alsace. In Austria, it is also reported to occur from June to 

 August (Hofner), e.g., June and July, in Bohemia and Moravia 

 (Nickerl) ; June, at Briinn (Schneider) ; and June 20th, at Nikolsburg 

 (Fritsch); throughout Lower Austria, in June and July (Brittinger and 

 Himsl); June 12th-26th, at Linz (Fritsch); July is noted for Lower 

 Austria (Eossi), and end of June till August, in the lowlands and hill 

 region of Salzburg (Richter) — the earliest recorded dates at Salzburg 

 in several years extending from May 31st to June 23rd, and the latest, 

 from July 16th to August 13th (Fritsch) — in the Tyrol, it occurs mostly in 

 the hill region, and is late in its appearance, being recorded from Mendel, 

 between July 23rd and August 4th, 1895 (Lemann); and August 4th, at 

 Bregenz (Fritsch) ; for Carinthia, June and July are given (Hofner), 

 and for Carniola, a single capture only, the end of June (Mann) ; for 

 Dalrnatia, June to August (Mann teste Buhl); in Hungary, its appear- 

 ance is earlier, May for Budapest (Biihl), although this must be an 

 early date, for it was abundant at Budapest and Blocksberg from June 

 8th-21st, 1893 (Nicholson), and Aigner-Abafi says that it may be taken 

 at Budapest from the end of May until mid-July. In Bussia, in the 

 Baltic Provinces, it is recorded as occurring from June 10th until the 

 end of July (the record for May, by Sodoffsky, being an error) 

 (Nolcken). In Italy, Riih.1 notes May for the Roman Campagna. In 

 Scandinavia, July is given by Wallengren. Continental records :
