﻿150 THE ENTOMOLOGIST. 



the ground behind a water-cart, but without a net it was im- 

 possible to effect a capture. 



Brachytron pratense, MiilL — Hengistbury : one, July 1st. 



A^schna juncea, Linn. — Hengistbury : August, not at all un- 

 common at the end of the month. Southbourne. West Moors. 



JE. cyanea, Miill. — Hengistbury : July Slst. 



jE. grandis, Linn. — Christchurch and Tuckton : July. Hen- 

 gistbury : July and August. 



Calopteryx splendens, Han. — Christchurch : very local among 

 sedges and rank herbage on the banks of the Kiver Avon im- 

 mediately below the Castle Bridge, where it was not uncommon 

 in July. Although the spot was visited many times previously, 

 the species was not seen until the 7th of this month. Females 

 largely preponderated. It may be of interest to mention that 

 during June and July, 1910, many pairs of wings of this species 

 were picked up at Lower Bockhampton, Londs Mill, Stinsford, 

 Winterbourne Came, and Frome Whitfield, in the neighbourhood 

 of Dorchester, although, curious to say, no living insect was ever 

 met with ! Search for severed wings near the insect's haunt at 

 Christchurch was unsuccessful, and swallows hawking for gnats, 

 &c., in the immediate vicinity appeared to disregard the dragon- 

 flies altogether. 



Pyrrhosoma nymphula, Sulz. — Hengistbury and the Christ- 

 church district generally during June and July. Tuckton 

 Creeks : early in August ; and one at Hengistbury on the 23rd 

 of the month. 



Ischnura elegans, Lind. — Abundant throughout the district 

 from early June to the beginning of August. A few seen at 

 Hengistbury on August 23rd. The deep orange variety, rufescens, 

 occurred rarely with the type on the Stanpit Marsh, Christ- 

 church, but was not noticed elsewhere in the neighbourhood. 



Bournemouth : February, 1912. 



A BARE JAMAICA BUTTERFLY. 

 By W. J. Kaye, F.E.S. 



Quite recently Miss Fountaine, who has just returned from 

 a prolonged entomological trip to the West Indies and Central 

 America, invited me to inspect her captures. Jamaica was one 

 of the islands visited, and amongst the insects from this locality 

 was a very good specimen of the very rare Nymphaline butterfly, 

 Chlosyne pantoni, which was described and figured by me in the 

 'Entomologist' for 1906. 



The type specimen there figured was caught as long ago as 

 1895, and until the capture by Miss Fountaine it was unique.
