microscope the scales are seen to be all more or less crumpled and 

 to have failed to develop normally ; there are a few blue scales 

 mixed up with the dark ones. The specimen was taken during the 

 fine dry spell in June last, and it is improbable that damp got to 

 the wings before capture. The marks were seen before it was netted; 

 taken same day and place as the one with green patches. Plebeiiis 

 aegon. Four ^q with similar symmetrical makings as last; all 

 caught in a very restricted area on same day. Scales in similar 

 condition to those of bellart/Ks under microscope. Adnpaea flava. 

 A $ with a glistening white patch on forewings ; the hindwings 

 are a pale golden yellow. Zygaena filipendulae. A J with right 

 forewmg having confluent spots, left forewing normal. Hgpocrita 

 jacohaeac. A $ with the red line on costal area of forewings joined 

 to the two spots on end of wing by strongly marked red scales ; the 

 line on lower side of wing approaching very near to the lower spot. 

 It was taken wild.

 light specimen from North Kent.
