neath ; the disc of this surface is nearly black : the posterior wings beneath 

 have brownish clouds attached to several of the silvery spots ; and four of the 

 latter, of the second series from the margin, are tarnished with black. This, 

 doubtless, is a variety of Ar. Adippe; and I suspect that Mr. Seaman's is also 

 referable to that species, the only points required to identify it being a know- 

 ledge of the form of the anterior wings, and of the existence of the brown clouds 

 on the posterior beneath. 

 Page 39. Argynnis Aglaia. f Var. y. Tliis variety differs from the others by 

 having the clava of the antennae cylindric-conic instead of compressed, as well 

 as by the variation in colour described in this page. 



Page 43. Vanessa Urticse. Mr. Doubleday kindly presented me with a singular 

 monstrosity of this species, which he caught flying near Epping : the right 

 posterior wing has a perfect additional wing, about one-third of the size of 

 the original, arising from near the base of the costal areolet ; it is somewhat 

 less angulated than the true wing, but its colours, both above and below, are 

 very bright, and disposed as usual : the proper wing is a little defective on its 

 anterior edge, and the nervure which bears the additional one is incrassated.

Although not strictly applicable to our indigenous productions, I cannot refrain 

 from referring to the Annales des Sciences Naturelles for March last, in which 

 an extraordinary migration of this species is recorded to have taken place in 

 May, 1827, in one of the cantons of Switzerland; the number of the insects 

 being so prodigious, that they are said to have occupied several hours in 

 passing over the spot where they were observed.

Var. /3. Sieph. Catal. Wings above entirely dusky-brown, with a few paler spots, 

 the white fascia completely obliterated ; cilia white, spotted with brown ; be- 

 neath, the anterior are of a bright tawny-brown, with an irregular black patch 

 on the disc, intersected with pale tawny, and bordered towards the anal angle 

 witli two whitish spots; the hinder margin has a few whitish clouds towards 

 the angle ; posterior also tawny-brown, with the base and inner margin bluish- 

 gray, the former spotted with black ; the hinder margin with a few whitish 

 spots, and one wing with a few towards the centre, in place of the band, 

 which is completely obliterated on the other wing. 



This variety is said, by the editor of the Papillons d'Europe, to have been taken 

 in England.
