Folkestone and Reading. — I captured a freshly emerged male Colias 

 eiusa in the Warren at Folkestone on July 22nd, and another on 

 July 25th. One of my sons captured a female in my back garden at 

 Reading on the 29th ; and on the 31st I saw five (one pair in cop.) on 

 the railway bank near my house, since which I have taken thirty edum 

 and two C. hyale. — W. E. Butler, Reading. 



Ireland. — The v/hole of last month I was in Ireland : the first 

 fortnight in Co. Galway with Mr. Jones, in search of Zygcena nubigena. 

 For this we were too late. We found it, but scarce, and in poor 

 condition. We had very bad weather — rain and wind every day, still 

 we managed to get together a few insects. Amongst the butterflies we 

 found Leucophasia sinapis, Epinephele liyperanthi/s, Satyrus egeria, S. 

 srinele, Cxnonympha pa/npliilus, S. janira, including one variety with no 

 white pupil to the black spot on the forevvings, Argynnis paphia, A. 

 adippe, Lyaena alsiis, L. icarus ; these latter were very fine, with much 

 larger red spots than any I have ever before seen. We also took Thanaos 

 tages. Among the Bombyces, Spilosoma fuliginosa, Hepialiis vellcda, 

 H. hedus, Zygoina filipendulce, Drepana lacertula and Setina irrorella. Of 

 the NocTU^, Phothcdes captiuncula was everywhere, flying about in the 

 day-time in hundreds, but mostly worn ; these are much more strongly 

 marked and marbled than any English specimens I have seen. Sugar 

 produced Nodua pleda, N. brunnea, N. baja, Leucania lithargyria, L. 

 conigera, Hadena pisi, Viminia rumicis, Tripha'na subsequa, T. fimbria, 

 T. pronuba and Xylophasia polyodon, many fine almost black forms, 

 X. sublustris, X. lithoxylea, Thyatyra batis, Apamea gemina, H. oleracea, 

 Miana strigilis, M. fasciuncula, and we netted a specimen of Eudidia 

 glyphica. GEOMETRiE were represented by Meirocampa ?nargaritaria,
