The " Large Copper " Butterfly (Chrysophanus dispar). 



By G. H. VEEKALL, F.E.S. 



As no accepted record exists of the occurrence of this species 

 in Britain since 1848, I do not think I can be accused of acting in an 

 unscientific manner by trying to reintroduce it through continental 

 specimens. I have consequently (through the kindly help of Mr. 

 J. W. Tutt) turned out a number of the larvt^ of the riitilus form at 

 Wicken Fen, and I ask the support of all entomologists to preserve 

 specimens from capture for some years to come, in order to see if this 

 beautiful species can be re-established. It will also be interesting to 

 see if, in the course of a few generations, any reversion to the British 

 form dispar might occur. 



I hear that an attempt is also being made to introduce the other 

 " dispar " (Lywantria) at the same place, so British (?) records of this 

 will also be valueless.
