86 Mary de la Beche Nicholl on 



taken below 4000 feet. Specimens all small, and rather 

 tinged with green underneath. 



39. D. chrysippus. 



Common along the irrigated strip of fertile land along 

 the coast from Beyrout to Dog River. I saw it every time 

 I passed that way, from end of April to June 22nd. 



40. M. titea. 



Common all along the coast and along the west slope of 

 Lebanon as high as Afka. I took it end of April at the 

 mouth of Dog River, and then saw it no more till I 

 returned to the western face of the Lebanon in June. Very 

 common near Afka, which is the head water of Dog River 

 in June. 



41. M. larissa. 



Very common in May and June in all the inland 

 districts. I never took it on the western face of Lebanon. 

 (If. titea, var. titania, Calb. Iris, iv, 1891, p. 41 ; Rom. 

 Mem. vi, p. 15. Judging from the numerous specimens 

 taken by Mrs. Nicholl, these have as much right to be 

 considered distinct species as several other nearly allied 

 Melanargias. 



M. titania, which Mrs. Nicholl mistook for larissa, has 

 not, as far as I know, been recognised in Syria, but 

 agrees with my specimens from Aintab, and with the 

 plate in Romanoff's Memoirs, and seems constant. It is 

 easily distinguished from the coast form titea by the much 

 narrower black border on both wings above, and by the 

 well-marked marginal spots, which are reduced to roundish 

 dots in titea. — H. J. E.) 



42. Satyr us hermione, L. 



One specimen in May in a mulberry garden on Lebanon; 

 it is very common along the coast, later. (Two females 

 taken by Mrs. Day at El Frat on October 10th do not 

 show the character by which Staudinger distinguishes his 

 var. syriaca, which is said to have the hind-wings below 

 more unicolorous than type. — H. J. E.) 



43. S. telephassa. 



Universally common, May and June. 



44. S. authe. 

 Universally common, June.
