beginning to be overgrown. Further along another path was taken to 

 the southern slope which was traversed to and fro for some distance on 

 the outskirts of the fringe of wood-land, but only the same species 

 were met with. Here are to be found plenty of cowslips and bluebells, 

 interspersed with the early purple orchid, and large quantities of the 

 local plant, Hellebonts nitjer, now showing its green flowers in 

 abundance. 



At last a turn homewards was made with a visit to the post-office 

 for refreshment, the only spot for miles round where anything of the 

 kind can be obtained. As a matter of fact not even water can be got 

 at the cottages scattered around. It is said that prompt eviction would 

 follow those who would do aught to refresh the wanderer in these 

 beautiful spots. Having made arrangements with the post mistress 

 for a subsequent visit, the north-eastern somewhat barren extension of 

 the ridge of the common was traversed, and a path taken down through 

 the woods, where Druas paphia has been freely taken, and where now 

 Celastrina aiyiolits was flying vying in colour with the super- 

 abundance of bluebell which for some years has been so prominent 

 just here. Further on the spot where (.'. an/iolus was taken earlier in 

 the day was reached, and one or two more picked specimens taken, all 

 males, just before reaching the station.
