84 Mary de la Beche Nicholl on 



22. E. gruneri. 



(Received by Mr. Leech from Shard eresy in North 

 Syria, not taken by Mrs. Day or Mrs. Nicholl. — H. J. E.) 



23. E. cardamines. 



One female taken at Brummana in April. I saw several 

 males, and neglected them. It is, I believe, a common 

 coast insect. I never saw any inland; but in June, on 

 Djebel Sunnin, about 6000 feet, I saw three fine males, 

 which I failed to catch. (A pair taken at Dauniv (near 

 Beyrout), by Mrs. Day belong to the var. Phamissa 

 (Kalchberg), Iris, x, p. 163, in which the orange of the 

 fore- wing does not go beyond the discoidal black spot, as 

 in ab. Turritis, and the underside of the hind-wing is less 

 marked with green and yellow scales. This form seems 

 fairly constant in Syria. — H. J. E.) 



24. L. sinapis. 

 Generally common. 



25. L. dioponcheli. 



Blouden, Ain Aata, Afka, Jedideh, near Damascus, not 

 uncommon. (Fresh specimens of the first brood seem 

 yellower than any others in my collection. — H. J. E.) 



26. L. Camilla. 



Common along the coast. Also in the valleys of Hermon. 



27. Pyrameis atalanta. 



Brummana, April, common along the coast. (Speci- 

 mens were raised from larvae found by Mrs. Day at Afka, 

 July 23rd, exactly like those taken in Europe. — H. J. E.) 



28. P. cardui. 

 Common. 



29. V, itrtica, var. turcica. 



Ain Aata, Djebel Chekif (above Blouden), top of 

 Hermon, top of Djebel Sunnin. Common on all high 

 mountains, and replaces type, which I never saw in Syria. 



30. V. polychloros. 

 Zebedani only, early June.
