98 [May, 



" Newport, 18G1." One <? , similar to the preceding, but brighter and richer in 

 colour, clear fawn or cinnamon-brown on both sides, with slightly darker sexual 

 brand and apical ocellus. "Glanvilles Wootton, C. W. Dale, 1864 " (C. W. D.), 

 and at side " June 22, 1864." An old specimen of this form from Dover. Two 

 fi'TC! c? S , rather pale brown above, with large symmetrical whitish blotches in fore 

 and hind-wings, one having a dark transvei'se bar in the pale centre of the left 

 fore-wing ; this is labelled " Glanvilles Wootton, C. W. Dale, 1864" (C. W. D.), 

 and dated June 2nd, 1864. Four (? <?, unsymmetrically blotched with whitish- 

 brown or bone-colour, and a ^ from the Isle of Harris, having the fore-wings 

 almost entirely dark-brown beneath. A 9 from the same locality is vei-y dark and 

 rich-looking, the fulvous suffusion in fore-wings being singularly deep in tone. Of 

 this sex, the finest variety is one entirely pale fawn-colour above, with the central 

 fulvous blotch nearly normal. " C. Blomer, 1857 " (C. W. D.), and at side, 

 "Dartmoor." Another ? is normal except the right fore-wing, which is entirely 

 pale whitish-brown or bone-colour, the apical ocellus just visible as a faintly darker 

 shade, "Glanvilles Wootton, C. W. Dale, 1871 " ; and one "From Briggs coll., 

 1896 (C. W. D.), has in each fore-wing a large suffused pale fulvous blotch enclosing 

 an elongate whitish spot below the cell, and the hind-wings largely and symmetrically 

 suffused with whitish-brown above and below. Nearly all these fine varieties are 

 in good condition. 



Satyrus tithonus, L. — Two of each sex, with well-marked supplementary black 

 spots in fore-wings, and in one, " Tcignmouth," the lowermost spot is wliite-centred. 

 A <J with the left fore-wing completely bleached except at the base, and a very 

 fine 9 aberration, in which the fulvous colour is replaced by bone-white, ." From 

 Kev. H. Burncy's coll., 1893 " (C. W. D.). 



Chortobius pamphi/us, L. — One S strongly tinged with purplish-brown, and 

 a beautiful example of the same sex, with the ground-colour clear pale ochreous- 

 yellow without any fulvous tint, the margins cool grey, and the apical spot very 

 dark and conspicuous. Labelled at side, " Langport." Two or three specimens 

 with the ground-colour partially bleached, and others with the dark margins 

 obsolete. 



Erehia medea, W. V. — A fine series, but only one marked aberration, a very 

 light-coloured ? , " Forres, Salvage, 1890" (C. W. D.). 



Erehia efvphron, Knoch. — Also well represented by series from Westmoreland 

 and Perthshire, and including a very fine variety of the $ , deep sooty or umber- 

 brown on both surfaces, with no trace of fulvous anywhere, but with the ocelli of 

 the fore-wings represented by black spots in elliptical pale greyish rings. '"' J. G- 

 Eoss, 1880 " (C. W. D.). 



Chortobius davits, F. — A very fine series of 66 examples, exhibiting the great 

 range of variation for which this species is so remarkable, and including examples 

 from North Wales, Cheshii'e, Lancashire, Yorkshire, Newcastle, Cumberland, Kil- 

 larney, Armagh, and Orkney. 



Apatura iris, L. — A series of 23 specimens, some of which were taken by 

 J. C. Dale at Enborne, Berks, in the early years of last century. A very fine 

 (? var. iole, Schiff, in which, however, the right hind-wing is somewhat abbreviated. 

 "From J. G.Ross coll., 1879 " (C. \V. D.), and a ? in fine order, in which the 

 ground-colour is quite a light sepia-brown.
