Vanessa AiiHopa at Huntingdon. — It ii/ay interest your readers to know that 

 a specimen of 7'. Antiopa (Camberwell Beauty) was taken here on the 19th inst. — 

 W. F. Beaufobd, Alconbury House, Huntingdon : August 2lst, 1900. 



Vanessa Antiopa near Crawley. — On August 25th a fine specimen of J^anessa 

 Antiopa (Camberwell Beauty) was caught at Newlands, Crawley Down, on the 

 borders of Sussex and Surrey. The butterfly was attracted by tlie sweet mixture in 

 a glass trap placed on a table to catch wasps and other objectionable insects. It 

 sidled itself under the glass containing the bait, and was then secured before it had 

 done itself much damage. — R. H. Brown, Park Cottage, Crawley Down, Sussex : 

 August SOth, 1900. 



Colias Hi/ale, L., and Edusa, Fb., and oilier Rhopalocera in Eait Kent. — On 

 August 11th, the first fine day after the recent bad weather, and on the two following 

 days, I had the pleasure of seeing and taking close here both these species, including 

 one splendid var. Helice, Hb. They were particularly partial to the flowers of 

 Centaurea nigra in a deserted garden. Hi/ale had occurred singly since July 30th, 

 when I swept a specimen, and I noticed one late last year in September. On the 

 12th, besides the above, Q-onopteryx rhamni, L., was abundant ; there were also five 

 of the Vanessidm—Atalanta, L., lo, Ij., polyMoros, L., urtica, L., and cardui, L. ; 

 the three common whites ; four of the LyccBnidcB — T. qnercus, L., L. Astrarche, 

 Bgstr., Icarus, Rott., and P. Phlceas, L. ; and the four common Satyridee ; also a 

 skipper, I think R. linea, Fb. ; twenty species in all, within a quarter of a mile 

 from the house. N. Lucina, L., T. rubi, L., L. argiolus, L., and the three other 

 common skippers were about in the spring, also E. hyperanthus, L., in the summer. 

 L. minima, Fues., Corydon, Fb., and Bellargus, Rott., occur in the neighbourhood, 

 but I have not seen them for the last year or two. — Aethue J. Chittt, Hunting- 

 field, Faversham : August, 1900. 



P.S. — Since writing the above I have found C. Edusa at Wicken, Cambridge- 

 shire ; it appeared to be somewhat scarce there, and was outside the Fen. — A. J. C. 



Colias Hyale and Edusa near Croydon. — On August 18th I took a good speci- 

 men of ? C. Edusa, and on the 21st I again took two J C. Edusa and also ten 

 C. Hyale, in fact the clover field |I was in was simply alive with them ; but latterly 

 the specimens seemed to have suffered somewhat from the heavy rains that took 

 place during August 18th and 21st.— Hakey D. Gowee, 55, Benson Road, Croydon : 

 August SOth, 1900. 



Colias Hyale and Edusa in Kent and South Essex. — I have observed Colias 

 Edusa and Hyale at Blackheath, Chattenden, and Pitsea, the former far out- 

 numbering the latter. — C. E. Paeteidge, 72, St. John's Park, Blackheath : Sep 

 tember 1st, 1900. 



Colias Hyale and Edusa in Suffolk. — These have both this year occurred in 

 Suffolk at Battisford, Wherstead, Copdock, Rushmere, Tuddenham, St. Martin, 

 Framlingham, Stonham, and Gosbeck (recorded iu " East Anglian Daily Times,"
