NOTES AND OBSERVATIONS. 323 



on September 2nd I saw three and caught two ; and on the 5th saw 

 two and caught both. Curiously enough these insects were all in 

 two fields of lucerne, and though I have carefully worked all the 

 lucerne fields around here, I have seen no other specimens of the 

 butterfly. — H. Huggins ; 17, Clarence Place, Gravesend, September 

 11th, 1911. 



CoLiAs HYALE IN Kent. — Tliis specios was obtained at Dover on 

 August 26th.— H. Fleet, Junr. ; 7, Park Road, Esher. 



CoLiAs HYALE in Kent. — I havo taken this year, in the vicinity 

 of Heme Bay, between August 20th and 27th, twenty-three fine 

 specimens of this species. — W. H. C. Bolton ; 48, Philbeach 

 Gardens, Earl's Court, S.W. 



CoLiAS HYALE IN Kent. — I Spent the month of August at Margate, 

 in company with my son, Mr. lieginald Spiller, who resides in that 

 town. We made many collecting expeditions, and on the 16th I was 

 agreeably surprised by taking a fine female C. hyale. After that, to 

 the 19th inclusive, we captured eleven more, all in lucerne fields. 

 Then for some reason they became very scarce, and to the end of the 

 month, when I returned home, we only saw three specimens, one of 

 them being at Sandwich. However, my son informed me that 

 they re-appeared during the first week in September. He sent me 

 on eleven fine specimens which he had taken, so that my series of 

 Margate specimens now amounts to twenty-three. There were 

 eight females amongst them, two of the same colour as the male, 

 four paler yellow, and two white. — A. J. Spiller ; Godolphin Cross, 

 Helston. 



CoLiAS HYALE IN EssEx. — Yestoi'day (September 18th) twenty- 

 seven C. hyale were captured at Ashingdon, by Mr. Charles Cork, 

 who showed me the specimens, all of which are males. We visited 

 the same locality to-day and captured five more, three males and two 

 females, all freshly emerged. The lucerne in the neighbourhood has 

 recently been cut ; only a very little bloom remains in places, other- 

 wise there is little doubt many more specimens would have been seen. 

 — F. W. Frohawk ; Rayleigh, September 19th, 1911. 



CoLiAs HYALE IN East Norfolk. — C. hyale occurred in some 

 numbers near Palling, on August 12th, this year. A strong east 

 wind was blowing at the time, and it was during the hottest of the 

 August heat-wave. They stayed in the local clover-fields for three 

 days and then went inland and I saw no more of them. I think 

 they were migrating due west. — C. Mellows ; Bootham School, 

 York, September, 1911. 



CoLiAs HYALE IN SuFFOLK. — It may be of interest to record the 

 capture, near Ipswich, on September 10th and 11th, of thirteen 

 specimens of C. liyale, in perfect condition, by myself and a friend. 

 — G. D. Archer ; Whitton, near Ipswich. 



At the present time (September 9th) there are large numbers of 

 C. hyale in the lucerne fields, but I have not seen any example of 

 C. edusa this autumn yet. — Walter Goodchild, Junr. ; The 

 Laurels, Norwich Road, Ipswich.
