white fascia, or more usual partial fascia of irregular slupe outside the basal 

 black patch ; a narrow white baud inside the hind marginal spots ; and a 

 conspicuous white lunar mark towards the costa in the middle of the central 

 black area: this mark in different specimens represents all phases of tlie 

 moon's appearance — quarter, half, or full moon. The hind wings have, besides 

 the margiual row of black spots, two uniforuily very broad black bauds, which 

 usually have one or more crescentric irregularities, the apices of the crescents 

 pointing outwardly. 



This form is of fairly frequent occurrence here in a wild state, but 

 is usually bred from a cross between tbe var. rarJci/afa and the type- 

 form of (/rossulariafa in the second and succeeding generations. It is 

 apparently the form whicli in a wild state, apart from varlei/ata itself, 

 produces varleyata. The only pair of wild specimens from which I 

 reared a brood, jn-oduced twenty-five per cent, of varlei/ata in the first 

 generation. I only know the form from the Huddersfield district. 



2. Var. aureofasciata, n. 



In this form the usual orange basal spor is exaggerated into a large blotch 

 without the black margin, aud the yellow fascia vei'y broad of a deep golden 

 yellow, extends of uniform width from the costa to the inner margin, and is 

 bordered outwardly with a series of short black streaks. Then follows the 

 usual wdiite space to the marginal row of very small black dots. The hind 

 wiugs are almost pure white, with the exception of four or five minute 

 marginal black dots. 



A very beautiful form, of which I have only three specimens bred 

 from wild Huddersfield larvae by Mr. James Lee of this town, and the 

 only ones of the foi-m I have seen, 



3. Var. raynori, n. 



This has a superficial resemblance to the var. hazeh'iyhe'nsiii, but the basal 

 black portion of the fore wings does not extend so far outwardly. It is followed 

 by a broad orange band of uniform width from the costa to inner margin, 

 bordered with large black marks, and followed by an exceptionally broad 

 white space to the usual row ot marginal spots. In the hind wings the black 

 spots a)e unusually large, and are situated much nearer to the base of the wing 

 than in ordinary specnnens, leaving a broad space of white between them and 

 the marginal black spots. 



Of this form I have a long series mostly bred from one original 

 pair, and have given away others. For several consecutive years it 

 occurred at Huddersfield, but during the past five or six years or more 

 I have not seen it, nor have I seen it from any other locality. I have 

 pleasure in naming it after the Rev. G. H. Kaynor, M.A., in acknow- 

 leelgment of the valual)k' work he has done with this species.
