280 THE ENTOMOLOGIST. 



September a gentleman who was with me caught a specimen 

 of Deiopeia pulchella flying at dusk on the cliffs near the 

 Land's End, Cornwall ; and, by searching near the same 

 spot, I myself subsequently caught three more, — two on the 

 20th, and one on the 22nd September. All four specimens 

 are in fine condition, and appear as though lately emerged 

 from the chrysalis. — Annie Michael; 3 & 4, Great Win- 

 chester Street, London, E.C., September 28, 1875. 



Deiopeia pulchella at Bonrnemoitth. — I have to record the 

 capture of Deiopeia pulchella on the coast of South Hamp- 

 shire. Two were taken, and another seen, by the daughters 

 of Lady Hester Leeke, who kindly presented me with one of 

 them. Lady Hester has also sent me the following note on 

 the subject: — "The first was taken on the grass-plot before 

 the house at West Cliff, in the afternoon of September 16th ; 

 and the second on the East Cliff, near Boscombe Chine, 

 among the tufts of stunted vegetation near the edge of the 

 cliff, also in the afternoon, about three days after the capture 

 of the first. They fly very slowly near the ground." The 

 spots upon the fore wings of both specimens are much 

 smaller than in the few foreign specimens I have seen ; but 

 such a variation is, I believe, not uncommon amongst conti- 

 nental examples of this beautiful, and until of late years very 

 rare, British species. A friend informed me some time since 

 that the species is very common in some parts of India. —

Deiopeia pulchella and Epione vespertaria at Waltliam 

 Cross. — On the 19th of September last, when on the look-out 

 for Colias Edusa and C. Hyale in a clover-field here, I took 

 a specimen of Deiopeia pulchella. It is quite perfect and 

 very fresh, apparently only just emerged from the chrysalis. 

 It was flying heavily, settling occasionally on the heads of 

 clover. On the previous afternoon I caught a male Epione 

 vespertaria in the same field, at rest on a piece of wood ; 

 unfortunately its wings are somewhat crumpled. I believe 

 this is a new locality for both species. — Arthur W. Paul; 

 Walt ham Cross, October 4, 1875. 



Deiopeia pulchella in Devonshire. — A female specimen of 

 Deiopeia pulchella was taken oh the wing, on the afternoon 

 of October 2nd, in Challice's nursery here. — J. Purdue; 

 Bidgeway, Plympton, Devon, October 19, 1875.
