Having planned a trip to Europe for the early part of last spring, I was anxious to utlize the opportunity to compare some specimens with types in the British Museum, but as I was sailing to the Mediterranean and going tospend most of my time in Italy, it was impossible to take more than a very few specimens, as I had to carry them everywhere, and did not dare to intrust the box to anyone else to carry for me. I there for restirced myself to cigar-box full, chiefly Gortynas, two of them Appassionata and Harrssii, kindly lent me by Mr. Bird, and the rest from my own collection.
