ADDITIONS AND CORRECTIONS. 313 



small aud the colour less blue, were taken more than sixty 

 years ago in the fen district. Eight in all were secured, and 

 two of these were exhibited at one of the Entomological 

 Society's meetings in 18U2, by the captor's sou, Mr. (4. T. 

 Bethuue-Baker. 



Polyommatus ^gon, Sckif.—itlr. F. W. Hawes finds 

 that the larvce of this species feed freely on the blossoms and 

 young tender shoots of furze ( Ule^c Etiropceus). 



Polyommatus agestis, Hilh. — The aberration of the 

 var. ArUircrxca, in which all four wings are ornamented 

 with a white spot on the upper side, has been found, by 

 Mr. J. Ross, of Anstruther, to be frequent and recurrent in 

 Fifeshire. 



Polyommatus Alsus, Schiff. — Evidence has now been 

 received of the regular occurrence of a second generation, 

 emerging in August, in the Dover and Brighton districts. 



Vanessa c-album., L. — Eggs obtained by Mrs. Hutchin- 

 son, in May 1892, from a hybernated female, j^roduced 

 larvaj all of which fed rapidly up, and became butterflies 

 early in the summer. With one exception all were of the 

 shape and colour peculiar to the first brood, as already de- 

 scribed. 



The record of this species in Ireland must, I fear, be 

 expunged. The supposed specimen was not captured, and, 

 probably, was not correctly identified.
