ground devoid of vegetation, and to all appearance very 

 unattractive. 



A. Euphrosyne and A. Selene. — Met with in abundance. 



A. Ino. — Tolerably common ; no doubt often passed by as 

 Euphrosyne, which it so closely resembles. 



Melitcea Cinxia. — Local, and not superabundant. 



M. Athalia.—Loca.], but most profusely abundant where it 

 occurs. 



Vanessa Urticce, V. Poli/chloros, and V. lo. — Common. 



V. Antiopa. — Generally considered a rare insect ; but in 

 the autumn of 1872 it put in an appearance in some plenty. 

 I met with some hybernated specimens in the spring of 1873, 

 but none in the autumn of that year. 



Pyrameis Atalanta and P. Cardui. — Not common. 



Lwienitis Sibylla. — This beautiful species is to be met 

 with in tolerable plenty. 



Apatura Iris. — Not common j only to be found in one 

 wood. 



Erehia Medea. — Scarce. 



Pyrarga Megcera. — Common. 



Epinephele Janira, E. Tithoniis, and E. Hyperanthus. — 

 Common ; the last named especially so. 



Chortohius Pamphilus. — In abundance.

 with it.

 abundance. 



Colias Hyale. — Not uncommon. 



C. Edusa. — Scarce. 



Rhodocera Rliamni. — Excessively abundant. 



Papilio Machaon. — Variable ; some seasons very common,
