N.C.E. 1,3c, 11, 14, 16, 18, 25,31,34,35,40; DeVries 2460; 
Warnstorf 2507 ; Medit. 34 ; Arct. 34, 36 ; Alps 2 , 9, 16, 34 ; 
Pyren. 17.] All the season visited by abundant Anthomyids. 
In early spring Apis shows a measure of constancy but 
neglects the flower afterwards ; a few butterflies visit the 
flowers in spring not irregularly. Lists of visitors for North 
Central Europe are in the most marked contrast ; in South 
Germany, on the Frisian coast, in the Netherlands and in 
Flanders long and mid-tongued bees are many and mid- 
tongued flies come next to them. In the Alps Lepidoptera 
are most numerous, but the bees are hardly less in numbers 
than the flies. Lindmann, however, observed the flower to be 
visited by many small or moderately small flies in Norway.
