brown centres, (black in the middle, with a greenish curved line) , and 

 three narrow, concentric rings, two of them greenish-grey, the third 

 (intermediate) dusky-brown. Beneath: pale gray; the fore-wing apical 

 belt whitish, with the black ocellus well marked : the cell of the same 

 wing crossed by four black lines. Beyond the cell are two curved 

 transverse black streaks, enclosing six pale spots ; apex black, with 

 four whitish spots ; hind- wing with two slender transverse dusky lines 

 near the base, and beyond the middle a broken dusky line across the 

 wing. The outer border is brown, and encloses seven transverse gray 

 spots ; the ocelli are black, with shining bluish pupils.

(^. Expans. 2" 10'". Same shape as A. Feronia, the fore-wing 

 ( (^ ) having the costa strongly arched beyond the end of the cell, with 

 the aj)ex acute, and the outer margin slightly incurved. General colour, 

 pale bluish grey, with the dusky streaks much slenderer in the fore-wing 

 than in A. Feronia. The central portion of the fore-wing is diugy- 

 white ; there is a rufous streak and large dingy-white spot within the 

 cell, and the ocelli of the same wing are almost obsolete, with the ex- 

 ception of the three between the radial nervures, two of which are large 

 and black, with dingy-white pupils, and the third or apical one is in the 

 form of a small dusky ring. The ocelli of the hind-wing are four in 

 number, (the two outer ones being indistinct), and have large dingy- 

 white pupils, (the two anal ones lunate, the two apical ones circular), with 

 four concentric rings, the first broad and black, the second and fourth 

 narrow and grey, and the third moderately narrow and dusky-brown. 

 Beneath : very similar to A. Feronia, the chief differences being the 

 absence of ocelli from the fore-wing, and the foi'm of the inner zig- 

 zag brown streak of the "hind-wing, which consists of a number of 

 straight connected lines, instead of detached lunules, asin A. Feronia.

Thecla hetulw, near Cork. — On the 5th inst., at Blarney Castle, in the neigh- 

 bourhood of Cork, I observed Thecla betulce flying over some low brushwood. 

 This is, I boheve, a new locality for the species. The country in the immediate 

 vicinity of Blarney appeared to be very likely ground for Entomologizing ; however, 

 my visit was of short duration, and for a very different purpose, that of risking my 

 neck in kissing the far-famed "stone," and of walking through the beautiful 

 groves; so my captures were of a very limited nature. — G. F. Matiieavs, H.M.S.
