one has found such great variety of flies on this plant as we have. It is to 
be remarked that they are allotropous chiefly. This buttercup is very common 
and of wide range, and its flowers vary considerably in size ; we have also 
found them with contabescent anthers. Muller observed eleven species of 
Lepidoptera on it in the Alps. The flowers hang in heavy rain, then serv- 
ing as a shelter to Anthomyiids, e. g. Anthomyia sulciventris.
