84 . THE ENTOMOLOGIST. 



I have been particular about describing the way to the 

 Gallop from Windermere Ferry Hotel, because some people 

 doubt there being such a place : let anybody ask at the ferry, 

 not for the Devil's Gallop (the ferry people are not natives), 

 but for Easthwaite Lake, and anybody near there will point 

 out the Gallop ; and when once our friends are in it they 

 will be sorry for those who ever had to gallop over such 

 rough land. 



When at supper at Hawkshead I learned that the lady 

 on the gray horse was Miss Aglionby, a daughter of Judge 

 Aglionby, a lady who lives near, and is highly beloved in the 

 district. 



I need hardly say that I took a good many ordinary Lepi- 

 dopterous insects that evening; but the best were Eucosmia 

 undularia, anywhere in and near the Gallop where sallows 

 grew, and seventeen Sericoris signatana around one tall sloe 

 bush. I shall long remember my twelve hours' ramble over 

 the Fells in August, 1871.

Captures in the New Forest in May and July, 1874. 

 By Bernard Cooper, Esq. 



In company with my friend W. J. Argent, I spent a short

 Forest. Our object being as much the enjoyment of 

 desultory rambles as the capture of rarities, many species 

 will be found absent from the appended list, which ought 

 otherwise to have been obtained ; nevertheless, a iew notes 

 at this dull season of the year may not be unacceptable to 

 some of your readers. 



Leucophasia Sinapis. — Of this species we took both the 

 spring and summer broods. It is generally distributed 

 throughout the grassy rides of the plantations, but is not 

 common. The second brood (the var. Diniensis of Boisduval) 

 is easily distinguishable from the first by the isolation of the 

 dusky apical blotch. Some three or four females of the 

 second brood which we took are pure white, without any 

 markings whatever (mentioned in Kirby as the var. Erysimi, 

 Bkh.). This, I presume, is the variety referred to by your
