The formation of the peculiar pouch of the $ is discussed, and an 
account given of the copulation of P. apollo. There is a table of the 
distribution of the species, and remarks on classification suggesting that 
Parnassius , Eurycus , Euryades , and Luhdorjia should be separated from 
Papilionidce to form a separate family. -23 species of Parnassius are 
recognized, and the synonymy, which is somewhat intricate, is fully dis- 
cussed. The species are dealt with seriatim, and a large amount of 
information, including much original, about these Butterflies is brought 
together. The plates are devoted to the £ and $ external sexual 
organs. [For extracts and review, vide Moschler, S. E. Z. 1887, pp.

Ele finds by experiments that ; the sexes of the Firefly (presumably 
Luciola italica ) recognise one another by means of their light, and per- 
form a sort of duet, the rhythm of the light of the female being different 
from that of the male,

The red race joins in the processions of a Red Ant which it resembles, 
and the black race in the processions of sorno Black Ants. He thinks the 
species thus attains access to the hoards of these species.
