'J'Q [ September, 



Colias Edusa. — This is a true Dover insect, and occurs every year, and in cer- 

 tain valleys on the cliffs between Dover and Kingsdown commonly. Some years it 

 is excessively abundant : take, for instance, 1877. The variety Tie/ice, H., occasionally 

 occurs. C. Eyale. — Much rarer than the preceding, and decidedly sporadic. 



Aporia cratrtgi. — This elegant butterfly I took in 1862 and 1863 on the ground 

 now covered by the Victoria Park ; it never was very common, and I liave not seen 

 it since that date. 



Pieris brassicce and rapre. — Always plentiful. P. napi.—rai\ier local, most 

 partial to the lanes inland. -P. Daplidice. — Sporadic ; Castle Hill, before the Park 

 was made ; I have never had tlie pleasure of taking it, but have seen it alive in the 

 net. 



Anthocharis cardamines. — This pretty species is abundant in the lanes towards 

 Kearsney, Ewell, &c. 



Lencophasia sinapis. — I liave been told that it has been taken in some woods 

 near Dover, but have no personal knowledge. 



Arge Oalathea. — Very abundant. 



Pararge jEgeria. — Local, lanes inland, common. P. Jlegara, same as pre- 

 ceding, but more abundant. 



Epinephele Semele. — Very local, but abundant where it occurs ; Coombe Wood, 

 near Alkham, &c. E. Janira — Needs no comment. E. TUhonus. — near Canterbury. 

 E. Hyperanthus. — Lanes, common ; especially with E. Semele in Coombe Wood. 



CcBnonynipha Panipliilus. — This insect seems to have the strongest constitution 

 of all the butterflies, and baffles east winds, and is always to be seen from tlie bleak 

 sand-hills at Deal to the shady nooks in the Warren at Folkestone. 



Vanessa cardui. — Sporadic, but always occurs, though its appearance in spring 

 after hibernation seems most general ; very abundant in 1883. V. Atalaida. — 

 Always common, inland and in gardens. T. lo. — Also common, but of very un- 

 certain appearance. V.polychloros. — Bather scarce, but taken in spring at Sandwich : 

 in the quaint little town it hibernates in the old churches and barns, and is seen in 

 the streets ; commoner than usual, 1883. V. urticcB. — Common everywhere. 



Orapta C-album. — I used to take this butterfly at Dover in 1862 — 3 : some- 

 times it occurred commonly, but I have never seen it since, nor have I heard of its 

 capture. 



Argynnis Aglaia. — Very common on the hills near Coombe Wood, Houghham, 

 &c., but difiicidt to catch. A. Lathonia. — I took two at Walraer, 1875, and have 

 seen several alive taken on Castle Hill and other localities in the neighbourhood ; 

 commoner some years than othei's. A. Eujihro.<iyite.—\anes, in some localities 

 common. 



Melitcea Cinxia. — Apparently sporadic, yery common about 1863, not observed 

 to my knowledge since. M. Artemis. — Very local, but abundant in some marshy 

 land between Deal and Sandwich. 



I have never seen or heard of any captures of either A. Paphia, Adippe, or 

 Selene, or M. Athalia, but it is possible they occur further inland. 



Nemeohius Litcina. — Not very common and local. 



Thecla qtiercus. — Woods, inland. T. )-ubi. ^s&me as preceding, but much com- 

 moner ; also in Folkestone Warren ; very plentiful this year.
