The year bas been a fair average one as regards the abun- 

 dance of Lepidoptera, and has been remarkable for the large 

 number of Colias Edusa (Clouded Yellow Butterfly) seen 

 throughout England, but, as usual, more particularly along 

 the south coast, in some localities of which it appeared in 

 thousands. No such abundance of this insect has been 

 noticed since 1877. 



Locally, the year has produced our local rarity, P. sicula, 



a few specimens of which were taken in both larval and 



imago state by Mr. E,. M. Prideaux, Mr. C. Bartlett, and 



myself.
