AN OLD KSSEX COLLECTION. 291 



PieriH napi. — 6. 



Euchlo'e cardaminea. — 10. All rather under-sized, but one male 



having the apices beautifully clouded. 

 Leucnphasia sinapn. — 6. 1 of which was taken at Chelmsford by the 



owner of the collection, in 1844, 2 by Seaman at Ipswich, 



1846, and 3 by Heppenstall at Sheffield, in 1846. It is 



particularly interesting to think that these specimens, of a 



species now so very local, should have occurred at two 



localities so far removed as Chelmsford and Sheffield, in 



which neighbourhoods it would now be quite in vain to seek 



for the insect. 

 Aporia crataegi. — 5. The only Essex one was taken at Epping by 



Eddleston, in 1844, 2 were taken in Huntingdonshire by 



Seaman, in 1846, 1 was sent by Stainton from Cambridge, 



and the fifth is labelled Whitwell, 1844. 

 NenieohiuH lucina. — ^6. Unfortunately without labels. 

 Melitaea athalia.—\i. 1844 and 1846. Two of them were taken by 



the owner at Bromley Thicket (this is probably the Essex 



Bromley, near Manningtree), in 1844. 

 Melitaea artemis. — 7. 1 specimen from Manchester, July, 1846, taken 



by Eddleston, another at Carlisle by Hodgkinson, 1846, the 



third being sent from Winchester by Stainton, in 1846. 

 Melitaea cinria. — 11. The only labelled specimen were from Coombe 



Wood, captured by Leplastrier, in 1846. 

 Ari/ynnis selene. — 7. None labelled. 

 Ar<iynnis euphrosyne. — 14. Without labels, but containing 2 heavily 



blotched. 

 Aripjunis lathonia. — 2. The upperside is in fair condition, but slightly 



damaged at the right apex. Underside in good order. One 



of these was taken by A. G. at Dover in August, 1846, the 



other is labelled Dover only, 

 Ariiynnis adippe. — 10. 5 being from Danbury, A. G. 1846, and 5 from 



Hartley Wood (which is near Colchester), in 1844.

 Grapta io. — 4. 

 Grapta atalanta. — 9. 

 Cynthia cardid. — 10. 2 Chelmsford specimens being labelled

Hartley Wood in 1843, 1844 and 1846. The other 5 were 



taken by Seaman between Ipswich and Colchester in 1846. 



The 8 males are apparently bred, the 4 upperside females 



seem to have been caught, and there is a lovely underside 



female of large dimensions.
