1880.J H3 



Vanessa Antiopa near Birmingham. — I saw Antiopa yesterday, stopped my 

 carriage and tried to catch it in my hat, but failed to do so, I am sorry to say. It 

 was close by Cannon Hill Park near here. — R. C. R. Jordan, 105, Harborne Road, 

 Edgbaston, Birmingham : September 1st, 1880. 



Vanessa Antiopa near Virginia Water. — It may interest your readers to learn 

 tbat a very good specimen of V. Antiopa was caught by a friend of mine, Mr. 

 Montague, near Virginia Water, as early as August 15th, and after a series of ad- 

 ventures is now in my possession in excellent preservation. — Harold J. Adams, 

 St. John's College, Cambridge : September teh, 1880. 



Vanessa Antiopa at Box Hill. — A young gentleman lately saw two examples of 

 this butterfly at Box Hill, Surrey, but although he knew the species, yet being one 

 of those persons who keep only one specimen of a species, he caught but one and 

 left the other, for which latter proceeding he has been sadly upbraided by his 

 acquaintances. — A. H. Swinton, Binfield House, Guildford: September 10th, 1880. 



Vanessa Antiopa at Heme Bay. — I took a fine specimen of the Camberwell 

 Beauty on the 26th of August last, at sugar, in Heme Bay. — Samuel M'Caul. 



Vanessa Antiopa at Eastbourne. — A specimen was recently taken on a road in 

 Eastbourne, and is now in my possession, though in rather a dilapidated condition. 

 — A. Walker, The School House, Norwich : September, 1880. 



Vanessa Antiopa at Headcom. — I captured a specimen of V. Antiopa not far 

 from my house on August 24th. — A. E. Stuart, Shenley House, Headcorn : August 

 29th, 1880. 



Vanessa Antiopa in Devon. — A specimen of the Camberwell Beauty was captured 

 in my garden yesterday. It was first seen resting on a fallen Quarrendon apple, to 

 which, on being disturbed, it returned after a short flight, and was then caught. — 

 John Ellis, The Elms, Chudleigh : August 31st, 1880. 



Vanessa Antiopa in Kent. — Vanessa Antiopa has been twice taken in this 

 neighbourhood in the first week of September, viz., once at Enowlton and once at 

 Redville. — Oxenden Hammond, St. Albans Court, near Wingham : Sept. *lth, 1880. 



Vanessa Antiopa at Tonbridge. — I saw a very perfect specimen of the Camber- 

 well Beauty whilst out driving on August 27th last. Not having a net with me, I 

 was unable to catch it. — Edith C. Thompson, Tonbridge. 



Vanessa Antiopa in Berkshire. — I captured, a few days ago, a good specimen of 

 the Camberwell Beauty. At the time I caught it, it was feeding on some rotten fruit. 

 I have never before seen one in this locality. A day or two after, I heard of the capture 

 of another specimen at a spot about seven miles from where I caught mine. Does 

 this mean that this year is an unusually good one for the insect ? My specimen is 

 large and perfect, and with reference to the disputed point about the difference 

 between British and foreign specimens, the rim around the wings is, in my specimen, 

 a good creamy-white. — C. L. Lindsay, Ardington, Wantage : September 8th, 1S80.
