August 17th, 18th, 2l8t and 24th). Mr. Frank Norgate had seen them both in the 

 vicinity of Bury St. Edmund's and Saxham, and took a peculiarly pale, though 

 apparently unworn, example of Hyale at the latter locality. I have seen the latter 

 at Eushford, Suffolk, on August 28th. — Claude Moeley, Ipswich : September, 1900. 



Colias Kyale and Edusa near Dover. — Colias Hyale and Edusa are common 

 in our red clover and lucerne fields this autumn ; the former species being in some 

 places quite abundant. — F. W. L. Sladen, Ripple Court, near Dover : Sept. Lit, 1900. 



Colias Hya^e and Edusa in Somersetshire. — I spent the first three weeks of 

 August at Bridgwater, and in a clover field near there we found C. Edusa in fair 

 numbers and very fine. Of ten females that we captured three were the var. Belice. 

 We took only one Hyale, and another was seen in the neighbourhood. Edusa was 

 also seen on the sand hills near Broan. — Arthur Cottam, Eldercroft, Watford : 

 September, 1900. 



Colias Hyale and Edusa in Hertfordshire. — Both species have been abundant. 

 Here at Watford, near Boxmoor, and at Ti*ing (on the Aldbury side of the railway), 

 I have taken both species, but Hyale has been the commoner of the two, except at 

 Tring. In a clover field here I took one Helice. — Id. 



Colias Edusa in Shropshire. — As you are probably having notices of the capture 

 of Colias Edusa from various parts of the country, it may interest you to know 

 that I saw a male specimen near to Cleobury Mortimer on Saturday last, the 18th 

 inst. ; not having a net with me I was unable to capture it. — Geo. H. Kenrick, 

 Whetstone, Somerset Road, Edgbaston : August ^Ist, 1900. 



Colias Edusa, ^'c, at Totnes.— I have noticed several Colias Edusa here, but 

 there are no clover fields to attract them. Lucanus cervus appears here replaced by 

 Dorcus parallelopipedus, of which I have four examples living on rotten wood. — 

 A. H. SwiNTON, Vineyard, Totnes, Devonshire : September \st, 1900. 



Colias Hyale, C. Edusa, Papilio Machaon, and Lampides bcetica in Guernsey. — 

 Colias Edusa has been very abundant all over the island during August, and a 

 number of the variety Helice have been taken. C. Hyale also occurred, but not in 

 any great numbers. The Rev. F. E. Lowe saw a specimen of Papilio Machaon at 

 Icart Point on August 13th. Others were seen on August I7th, and on August 

 21st Dr. Bishop actually captured one, with his straw hat, on Delancey Hill. This 

 specimen was given to the Rev. F. E. Lowe, who kindly presented it to me for my 

 G-uernsey Collection. 



I took a specimen of Lampides bcetica in my garden to-day ; I had observed 

 numbers flying swiftly across for some days past. Mr. Baker has bred some beauti- 

 ful specimens of this species from larvae collected on its food plant, Colutea arborescens 

 in Guernsey. — W. A. Luff, Guernsey: September Wth, 1200.
