I shall here remark that Professor Schummel found in June 

 1811, a hybrid between the two last insects, having the un- 

 derside of Hero and the upper of Arcanius ; and when Mr. 

 Dale and myself were at Manchester, Mr. R. Wood informed 

 us that he had taken three males of Janira united to Hyyeran- 

 thus, two of which he at that time possessed. He has been 

 kind enough to send me this year male and female varieties of 

 H. Tithonus, which he justly observes appear to be between 

 that species and H. Ligea ; they have two additional blind 

 ocelli on the superior, and one has two, the other three, with 

 white pupils, on the inferior wings. 



13. H. Davus Fab., Och., Haw.— Hero Don. 6. 186.— war. 

 Philoxenus Esp. — Tullia Hub. — This variable insect appears 

 in June and July, at Trafford and White Moss near Man- 

 chester, on heathy and swampy wastes, and even in plantations. 

 I am indebted to Mr. R. Wood for a fine series of this insect, 

 and he very handsomely showed me its habitats. 



14. H. Polydama Haw. Lep. Brit. p. 16. n. 17. — This in- 

 sect appears to be a variety of the last, in company with which 

 it was taken near Manchester. It has also been found in June 

 in marshy places, Yorkshire, and on mountains between Bala 

 and Festiniog, North Wales, and at Derwent Water, Cum- 

 berland. 



15. H. Typhon Haw. not of Esper. nor Villars. — Davus 

 Goda. V. 2. pi. 21. / 1 & 2.— Iphis Steph. but not of Oc/z.,* 

 Hub., nor Goda. — This insect is said to have been taken in 

 June at Beverley, and near Cottingham, Yorkshire; the 

 middle of July Mr. Dale and myself found it about rushy and 

 swampy places near Schechallion, Killin, and in the Isle of 

 Arran: and my friend Mr. C. Lyell has met with it near 

 Kinnordy, and Mr. Marshall presented me with specimens 

 taken by himself last year in Cumberland. 



16. H. Pamphilus Lin7i. — Haw., Lew.pl. "2,3./. 3. 4. — Esp. 

 Goda. — Nephele Hilb., Bork. — May, June and September, 

 grassy heaths and commons. 



The plant accompanying H. Hero is Convolvulus arveiisis 

 (Small Bindweed); that figured with H. Arcanius is Melica 

 ccsrulea (PurpleMelic-grass), communicated by Mr. J. Bennett.
