SATYRID^. 25s 



that it used to swarm in a wood at Carluke on the southern 

 border of the Lanarkshire coal fields, but has not been seen 

 there for years. In Ireland it is locally abundant in the south 

 and west, and in one locality near Dublin, and even occurs 

 northward far into Connaught. It does not appear that the 

 extreme varieties of underside markings are found in 

 Ireland ; and in Scotland the form called Arde, has very 

 rarely been found. The south of England is apparently 

 their more favoured resort, the form with exaggerated spots 

 in the New Forest and one or two other woods ; that with 

 reduced spots in Somerset, the New Forest, near Reading, 

 and in other places, but especially in the Dover district. 

 It is also found on the Continent, in company with the 

 ordinary form, which is abundant in woods throughout the 

 greater part of Europe and Northern and Western Asia, 

 even extending to Japan. In markings this is not very 

 closely allied to any other European species.
