9. Aporia cratsegi. 



Common ail through the eastern side of Lebanon and 

 Anti-Lebanon at 3000 feet and upwards. But has not 

 been taken by me on the western side of Lebanon, and is 

 probably an insect which dislikes sea air. 



10. Colias edusa. 



Common everywhere. (Taken on Hermon and the 

 Lebanon at 5000 feet, and higher by Mrs. Nicholl. 



C. aitrorina, var. libanotica. This species must be found 

 either later in the season, or further north than Mrs. Nicholl 

 travelled, and does not seem to have been found by any 

 recent collector. — H. J. E.) 



11. C. edusa, var. hcllcc. 

 Not uncommon. 



12. Pieris callidice. 



(Not taken by Mrs. Nicholl. A pair taken on the tup 

 of the Cedar Mountains (Dahr el Khotib) on August 18th, 

 by Prof. Day, are perhaps referable to the var. ckrysidice, 

 H. S., from Asia Minor, and the Caucasus, but the 

 distinctive characters mentioned by Stgr. both for this, 

 and for the var. orientalis, are inconstant, and I cannot 

 judge of it properly from two specimens. — H. J. E.) 



13. P. brassicse. 



Common in gardens. (Specimens taken by Dr. Day 

 at Beyrout, in August, are neither larger, nor have they 

 larger spots, as in the supposed var. catoleuca Bobcr, 

 which Staudinger catalogues from Asia Minor, and Syria, 

 as " var. (gen. test ?)." They have, however, the underside 

 whiter than in any specimens in my collection, and almost 

 entirely free from black scales. It is remarkable that the 

 hot climate of Beyrout has not affected the coloration of 

 this species in at all the same way as in the Canary 

 Islands.— H. J. E.) 



14. P. rapte. 



Common in gardens, and on the mountains. (Taken 

 at Beyrout by Dr. Day in May. — H. J. E.)
